They put it back up but I'd bet, it'll happen again. As Alex points out:

It's not the most in-depth explanation of what they're going to do, but since the video was put back up almost immediately there doesn't seem to be a policy already against trans men going shirtless on YouTube, just someone who's probably assigned to check out flagged videos all day going a little trigger happy.



Their "training" could be as little as clarifying the policy to the people who check out flagged content, who might be completely unfamiliar with tg/ts/lgbt issues. Increasing awareness of their own staff would go a long way to keep YouTube open to LGBT people (and it's already been doing a great job, considering how many LGBT YouTubers there are).

I'd be curious as to what training they did and how they truly resolved the issue for long term.
