Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him.

This is very apparent when you look at his falling out with his daughter. She basically pointed all this out, and that he couldn’t just make up for being a shitty dad for years and years by one time “Look, I sold all my stuff!” type gestures.

But “stuff” is literally all he knows, and so when he was called out on it, it seems to have absolutely broken him and now he’s on this massive anti-trans crusade as a way of getting back at her.
