Blaire White details her delayed transition following her father's death and extensive surgeries, while opposing child gender affirmation due to sterilization risks and lack of medical consensus. She critiques the trans community for groupthink and high sex work rates, arguing that 98% of her hate stems from activists rather than conservatives. White discusses the dehumanizing experience of TSA scanners, the political utility of "passing," and the need for executive function before puberty blockers, concluding that intellectual diversity exists across the gender spectrum despite Hollywood's left-wing dominance.

It doesn't, you know, I watch your videos, you like, it's just, you strike me as someone that's clear in your thinking and you don't care what people think.
I know that's sort of a cliche thing to say about people, but you really strike me as that.
Yeah, I mean, kind of just the way I've always been is I care about how my immediate family thinks, how my boyfriend thinks, but when it comes to YouTube, I feel like you have to have that thick skin, so I've kind of just always had that.
All right, so for people who know nothing about you, now, we did do this once on Skype, and I don't wanna just repeat everything that we did for an hour, but I think telling a little bit of your backstory is good, and then we can get to the stuff that you really like talking about.
So for the people that just have no idea who you are or know nothing about your background, who is Blaire White?
I do social and political commentary, and I guess I'm known for some inflammatory videos, you know, covering controversial topics, that kind of a thing.
But at the end of the day, I'm just having fun with it, you know what I mean?
Just living, and I'm doing different kind of content lately.
I'm doing more lifestyle stuff, more vlogs, more stuff about me, because, you know, YouTube's kind of changing how it is right now.
Well, I realized I was different when I was very young, when I was probably in kindergarten or so.
Didn't really relate to boys in my class, didn't really relate to the girls either, but I didn't really have the language to describe what that meant until I was probably a little older, maybe 15, 16.
And even then I went through a huge denial phase where I didn't do anything about it, but I wanted to.
It wasn't until about age 20 when I had the means just within myself as an adult to kind of take my life into my own hands and make the changes I wanted.
Yeah, so I read an interesting thing this morning when I was doing some research on you that when you were realizing this around 15, 16, your father passed away from cancer when you were 18, and that actually delayed your transition because you didn't want your mom to have to deal with losing two people in her life, so to speak.
And when someone passes away, especially an immediate family member, it kind of halts your life regardless, no matter what you're doing.
So, of course, my transition was definitely put on the back burner because I didn't really want to put my mom through losing her husband and then all of a sudden, like, oh, by the way, You're gonna lose your son, too.
She didn't lose me, but it was just a huge change, and when someone dies, it's already a huge change, so I kinda took that into account.
Yeah, so as someone that's gone through the transition and we're going to talk a little bit about some of the surgeries that you've had recently and I watched your videos and you were talking about some of the pain and the experience of going through this stuff that you couldn't have imagined had you not done it.
What do you make of how much we talk about trans issues now?
Like, you know, when there's this whole LGBTQ thing and we did the gay rights thing for a couple of years and gay people got equality, which is the whole point, we're supposed to have equal opportunity, okay, that we've sort of shifted the discussion now to trans people.
It's a double-sided sword because I feel like when I look back, you know, on the existence of trans people, maybe just in the last past decade, certain things have gotten better but certain things have gotten worse.
More people are more involved in the conversation and so there's a lot of unnecessary stuff flying around and so it's almost like it was easier and people didn't really know about it.
Because I mean I think everyone always knew like, oh there are some people who, you know, Change their bodies or whatever.
But now that everyone's so involved in the debate, there's just so much back and forth that's unnecessary.
Like the bathroom thing, that's unnecessary to me, for the most part.
I don't like being expected to suspend my knowledge of how the real world works to have these debates because I've never had an issue using any bathroom I want.
I just never have.
So it's about understanding people's concerns, but also being like, okay, it's not a real concern, or it's not that bad, you know?
Do you think maybe for you that's a little bit unique in the trans community because of the way you look?
You know what I mean?
So I know people talk about someone that's passable.
Or you're beautiful in this case, so it's like nobody's looking at you, I think, or maybe the most keen eye who's thinking about this all the time, but I don't think so.
It's one of those things that when we had that whole brouhaha about what happened, it was like, well, trans people have been going to the bathroom of their choice for all this time, and there didn't seem to be an issue.
So now we've got The left, in this case, screaming about an issue that didn't exist.
And then you do have some- And you create an issue.
So now you've created an issue where, for me, as a small government guy, well, now you want the government to come in and tell- Same.
Cut funding for places that don't do this and that with the bathroom and all that.
But there is a genuine group of other people, and in this case, they're more on the right, maybe a conservative Christian right or whatever that is, that do have some issue with trans people, right?
I'm incredibly, as long as they are not putting their hands on me or cruel, I'm absolutely sympathetic to that because I have those people in my family.
My mom's side of the family was definitely more on the liberal side and they've been very, very accepting.
My dad's side, it's been something different.
You know, a lot of people on my dad's side of the family Yeah.
I'm more on the conservative side, which is fine.
You know, I lean right as well.
But when it comes to the trans thing, they just, they didn't get it, especially at first.
And so for me, it was about learning to be patient with those people,
which is why I feel like that kind of bleeds over to my online presence, is with those people,
you know, I'm able to interact with them and it's like, it's fine, you know?
Yeah, I love that because that's what it's all about, right?
You took people who knew you as one thing, now know you as something else, and even if they struggled with it, or even if, you probably have some people that still struggle with it in your family, right?
It's not something I think about every day, but it's still there.
I think that a lot of the times when it comes to trans people, they sort of have the wrong mindset when it comes to family.
I mean, I can't judge every situation, but I feel like if you want someone to be patient and understand you and come to learn about you and your thoughts and your beliefs and who you are, you have to do the same.
It's a two-way street.
So a lot of trans people get caught up in like being very, very defensive and like, if you don't accept me on every single term, then you can't be in my life, which is sad because family is everything, you know?
And I used to see that, you know, before I was doing this in what seems like another life for me.
I was on the LGBT channel on SiriusXM.
I wanted to do politics, but I was gay, so they're like, We'll do a gay show, gay guy.
And I was on that.
And I would come across, or I'd interview a lot of times, that type of person who, you know, gay people didn't have equal rights.
I obviously wanted gay people to have equal rights.
But that type of person who was so strident in removing all of these people from their lives, making it seem that they're all bigots and all that stuff.
Do you see that as an interesting paradox of all this?
I agree with you.
I think family and friends are far more important than what larger society is gonna say about you, certainly what the government is gonna say about you.
Again, you want the equal rights.
But there's a certain strange thing there where they're trying to almost replace the family Some of the social justice stuff, like that should be your new family because they know everything about you.
And I've talked about this on my channel, how when I was younger, like 15, 16, 17, I was very heavily involved in social justice circles and everything.
And there definitely is this aspect of like, this is your new group.
This is your new tribe.
And it's definitely, you know, if your mom can't accept you, then you don't have a mom there anymore.
You know what I mean?
And it's very, very toxic.
And it's like the worst thing to tell to someone when they're needing support beyond the superficial support of like political activists.
So in that time of your life, you're starting to have these realizations, or I guess you had them very young, but they were becoming more concrete, I suppose.
And you were really in that SJW thing.
I read something about how you had a list of words on your refrigerator that, was it that you couldn't say or that people who came to your house couldn't say?
I didn't make it, but I had a roommate, and I was totally fine with it, but it was like a whiteboard on the refrigerator, a list of words you couldn't say in the house.
And it was like stupid stuff.
It was like terms like mendrites.
Or it was like, I don't even remember, it was just all the things you would guess.
Last summer, there was a huge run-in with Black Lives Matter, and a lot of the activists there obviously saw my videos on Black Lives Matter, and I was doxed, my address was posted, people were tweeting me about coming to my house with guns, all kinds of stuff, which, you know, It's crazy and it's online but when it comes to that you have to take it seriously.
So I was in talks with the FBI and a girl got arrested and my fans, I don't endorse it, I do not endorse it, but my fans swatted the Black Lives Matter activists like sent you know that's when you send a I guess, police to someone's house
and say they're gonna kill themselves or something and they come in with guns.
So, you know, it's been really crazy and I've lost a lot of friends over it.
I mean, a lot of this stuff at the end of the day, I mean, I see on Twitter sometimes people getting doxxed.
You know, you ever see like viral tweets just going and someone's getting doxxed because they said the N-word or something?
And it's like, okay, when you do that, you're not only affecting that person and putting them at risk, but it's like they might have kids, a wife, a mother, anyone in their household.
You know what I mean?
So it's crazy.
It's like the most insane thing you can do to someone.
I think one of the things I'm gonna try to do this next year, I think I try to do it in general, is bring some civility back to some of this, because we need it.
No, I know you are, actually, because you've been having debates on your channel, and you go pretty deep with some people that you obviously disagree with, some people that you've been in public fights with and stuff like that, and you're doing it in a way that I think is civil.
Yeah, and the way I do all my channel and stuff is lately is I try to do debates and especially just on the daily I mostly only watch political content that I disagree with, honestly.
I don't really turn on, you know, fellow YouTubers who do the same thing as me or, you know, news channels that kind of mirror my views or whatever.
It's all other stuff.
That's more interesting to me because you learn more about your own views and someone else's views and people don't stay caricatures.
You know, people become people and ideas become more tangible and something you can actually argue against rather than just being incendiary or whatever, which has been kind of my style in the past, but try new things.
So then as someone who is now watching stuff that you don't agree with, so now that means you're really watching a lot of the diversity stuff, probably.
Yeah, so as someone that is watching some of that stuff now and is now debating some of these people,
what was the moment for you that that political thing switched?
Not just the personal part that was obvious, you were going through things, but that moment that the ideas, how they relate to politics and just sort of a worldview.
It was learning to take accountability for myself and not rely on an ideology that told me that I was powerless.
It was, Yeah, it was just growing older, which is crazy when I see, like, you know, 40-year-old, you know, activists, which, you know, fight for what you believe in, but some of these people have, like, the mindsets of, like, teenagers.
It's crazy, you know, just trying to push accountability on other people.
Did any of your friends that you were in at that time, did they, any of them, Do they, you know, keep you around after that or do they all just, just like, that's it?
All right, you feel exactly the same way, well said.
All right, so let's talk about just some of the issues and the stuff that sometimes gets you in hot water and some of the things that you, as I said at the beginning, I consider you one of the people that's a fearless defender of free speech.
So first off, so you agree that trans is a mental disorder, correct?
Gender dysphoria is basically feeling a strong disconnect with your gender and gender roles that you're expected to fill, being not gender.
And it causes a lot of distress, and it's very difficult.
It's alleviated a lot for me in the past year or so, but when it was hitting me the hardest, it's so hard to deal with.
It's like depression times five.
It's horrible.
So it's a mental disorder, which is fine for me to admit because people have disorder, people have anxiety, people have depression, people have, you know, whatever.
So it's not this crazy inflammatory thing for me to say, at least I think, but a lot of other people feel differently.
So one of the interesting things, I just watched it just in the last couple months, and without getting into any plot stuff, one of the most interesting things to me is that the father's transitioning, and really the story doesn't become about the father, it becomes about all the people around him, the family around him, and there's a moment where he becomes friends with a trans woman who basically is like, you're gonna lose everyone around you, and that, he hasn't yet in the show, I don't know which way they're gonna go with it, But that also must be a part of the struggle after, right?
It sounds like it's been pretty okay for you, but for a lot of other trans people, that just other people just, they can't, even if they want to accept, they just can't get there for whatever reason.
Yeah, we have certain lines Yeah, like you know similarities, but it is very different I think in the beginning it was necessary You know what I mean like when there was less of an understanding of what trans was it kind of was treated like another you know These are the queer people and this was that was their tribe yeah, and so in the beginning you know in the 60s during the Stonewall riots perhaps that was Beneficial now It is so different, and the politics are different, and the place that trans people are at and the place that gay people and bisexual people and lesbians are at is different.
I don't consider myself some sort of warrior or fighter, but if there's a fight in my channel or what I'm talking about, that's one of the things that I consider one of the biggest fights, because there really are no other trans people speaking out against it, at least that are in the public eye or whatever.
So I'm definitely against children transitioning.
I think that it's a horrible decision to let a child make a life-changing decision and decide to be sterile, because that is a consequence of transitioning so young.
You can't have kids.
And just the drugs that they go on, there's a lot of problematic things that go along with that.
There's this show called I Am Jazz.
It's on, I think, TLC or something.
And it's about a 16-year-old trans girl.
And she had been transitioning since she was probably like five.
Not medically.
Medically around like 11 or 12.
So she was put on puberty blockers, which is what you go on before hormones.
It basically, she never went through testosterone or male puberty.
And because of that, it's kind of gnarly, but her genitals never really developed.
And so she can't even have the surgery to become a woman and have a vagina because she was on puberty blockers.
And puberty blockers are hailed as the most important thing to go on.
It's so gnarly and it's like really graphic, but the amount of depth that you can have in the vagina is directly related to how long the penis is.
So if you are on puberty blockers from the time you're 11 years old, you never develop, you basically have a micro penis and you can never turn it into a vagina.
It's just too small.
So it's like there's problems and the trans activists For lack of better terms, completely gloss over it and make it seem like something that's not.
Yeah, it's so interesting because it strikes me as something that's so consistent with the way you think of other things, like, just because they're saying it, just because they're all saying, oh, let these kids on, it doesn't mean that even the facts, if you want to get to the end to truly transition, the facts don't line up with what's making you feel good.
Yes, let kids do whatever they want and okay, all that stuff, but the actual medical reasons to not do it, from the amount that I understand that you're explaining to me, far would supersede what your feelings are.
Another huge problem is the activists always cite that, you know, so many doctors are fine with it, and it's like, okay, but trans education in medical school is actually very, very new.
Like, very new.
Like, it wasn't even required up until very recently for people to even learn about trans people and transition in medical school.
One of the things that trans people often find, it's hard to even find like a proper endocrinologist, which is a hormone specialist, to even do the transition.
So it's like you're citing all these medical professionals when half the medical world doesn't really know what it's doing.
People are just basically running into the dark with this.
And that's what's scary because kids' lives are on the line, you know?
And I've never been the person who's like a child advocate fighting for the kids.
Kids are our future.
But, you know, I mean that story alone that you talked about was on my Twitter the other day.
Yeah.
went on hormones at 12, decided at 14 it was a mistake, and it's like, cool, like that kid just missed out
on two years of development, who knows what's gonna happen because of that.
I think when you're an 18, you're an adult and, you know, For better or worse, you kind of have the ability to mess up your life, if that's the case, or make it amazingly better.
I don't ever want to frame transition as something that's completely negative.
There's an interesting money piece around this, and you've talked a little bit about that you don't want the government paying for people's transitioning first, right?
I mean, at the end of the day, it is to alleviate genital dysphoria, which is a disorder, but it's all cosmetic in a way, too.
You know what I mean?
Like, I just had surgery.
I'm only like a month and a few days out of surgery.
And, you know, Everyone's story is different, but I worked hard to save up for it, and I paid for it myself, and it didn't go through any insurance or government or a sugar daddy or anything like that.
So as someone that, again, you lean right, so I don't know what your feelings are on universal healthcare per se, but if we're identifying gender dysphoria as a disorder, if someone was to have gender dysphoria, how could a health insurance company Not have to pay for it.
I'm going a little insider baseball here with you.
I think it's about, first of all, we have to learn how to actually diagnose gender dysphoria properly because so many people get diagnosed and they don't really have it.
Yeah, well it just goes to how poorly we are about debating really complex issues and I would put this at sort of, this deals with so much at sort of an existential level and a biological level and everything else.
This should be something that really we should be debating from the most educated place and I think we do a horrible job of that.
Yeah, it's such a symptom of what's going on in a bigger way in society, of just everyone having an opinion about everything.
We're all for the free speech thing, so these people should be allowed to say whatever they want, of course, and encourage, but just this endless opinion machine on things that people don't know about.
I think a great example of that is when Trump made this proclamation about the trans ban, and you were the first person, I quickly jumped on Twitter, all right, who can I try to make some sense of this thing from?
But it also took me, like, I'm just some prissy tranny from California.
You know what I mean?
Like, I don't know about how the military works.
It took me kind of looking at, like, oh, wow, there's actually, like, basically, if you stub your toe the wrong way, you can't join the military.
So, of course, if you have, like, gender dysphoria or something that's, like, that debilitating, like, maybe you shouldn't be at least on the front lines.
For me, I felt like banning trans people from every, you know, position in the military was kind of a little overkill.
But I can understand the front lines thing for sure.
Well I tried to, I tried and you know you sometimes fail on Twitter, but I tried to tweet out a few different thoughts that I was having because I wasn't feeling like I fully understand this and sort of what you're saying it's like I'm not in the military also so for me to pretend that I know everything about protocol and what it's like to be on the battlefield or in a in a housing unit with a bunch of soldiers
and all of those things.
So I tried to look at what some military people were saying, people like you, a few other people that I generally
respect.
I mean, my feeling is that if you have transitioned, so first off, there's the argument about the money, right?
So I don't think the government should, I don't think the military should have to pay
That's just what I feel.
That's my more libertarian side coming out.
Okay, so we got one there.
The other part, though, is that if you have passed every psychological test, if you've transitioned and now you've passed every psychological test that they would apply to everyone else, well, I do believe in equal opportunity.
So at that point, I would argue it's probably irrelevant, whether it's combat or anything else.
But I also tweeted a list of things that there was a guy who's a military guy.
Did you see that?
Who tweeted out like a 20 string tweet about the pressures of being on the battlefield.
And he was making it clear that he's not against trans people in any way.
He was just saying if there's an extra element of psychological issues there, that it could complicate things.
One of the main concerns I had with the whole situation was just Finding out and making sure that the trans people who already were in the military didn't lose any VA benefits afterwards, because that's really crappy to serve your life and then leave and it's just like you're dishonorably discharged and no benefits.
That's crappy to me.
And not losing sleep over not being able to be drafted now, so that's great.
Does that put you in an interesting position because it kind of opens you up from hate for everybody?
Like, you know, I'll see people be like, Ruben's a secret Republican conservative, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm like, if that's true, or though he's far right, he's all right, all this crazy shit.
It's like, if that's true, well then I guess those guys are okay with gay marriage, they're okay with someone who's pro-choice, there's someone who's pro-legalization of marijuana, who doesn't want a nation built for euthanasia, I mean, a gajillion, you know, for a strong public education, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, it definitely does, because first of all, you can never please everyone.
And we live in such a divisive time.
I mean, look at Tomi Lahren.
She took one step outside of her team with the abortion comments on The View, and she lost everything.
She's doing good now, which is great.
But she lost everything.
So we live in a time where people are all playing by the book and fighting for teams, which really has never been my style, which is fine because I'm on YouTube and it's independent.
Yeah, it's one of those things that's so complicated.
And that's why when I see these idiots screaming at each other, it's like, no one hates women and no one hates babies.
It's like one is trying to protect life in that sense.
And one is trying to protect the woman.
So for someone like you that has that libertarian bent though, if you were gonna...
And we're totally just spitballing this, obviously, and we didn't discuss any of this stuff that we were gonna talk.
Yeah, we're fine.
As a pro-life person, what would you do, then, if a woman, let's say a 16-year-old girl gets pregnant, it's an accident, whatever, she has no support or anything, do you think the government has any role?
If the government's not gonna allow her to have an abortion, do you think the government has any role, then, in helping that child, helping her, et cetera?
Basically, like, yes, in most cases, I would like either their community or their church or mosque or whatever it is to help take care of them.
But this is one of the places where I think if the government's gonna say, no, you can't do this, Then in some way, the government is sort of responsible.
So it's one of those places where all of us have these sort of political ideas, and yet the rubber meets the road, and then you gotta kinda figure out what you really believe.
And I'm such a individualist that whenever I hear a question like, what do you think of abortion, I automatically put it back to myself, what I would do.
So obviously what I would do is not have an abortion, but it's a wide world out there, a lot of different situations.
So I'd agree there should be recourse if it's illegal.
That, because I'm a little older than you, that when, even though I was closeted for a long time and I never really felt that I was part of the gay community, whatever that is, I never, I always liked basketball, I never, I'm a horrible dancer, like, I just never really felt in it like that.
It's always been kind of a thing for me, and for a long time I was, like, upset by it, like, that I couldn't relate to them, and I felt like something's wrong with me.
But then I look at the state, And it sounds like I'm just trash-talking the trans community, but I guess I kind of am.
I look at the state of where that community is and it's like, why would I want to fit in with that?
I mean, I don't have anything against sex work per se, but it's very depressing to be around a bunch of people who feel like the only thing they can do in life is sex work.
That's like their only course of action.
Because the truth is, it really isn't.
I mean, there's issues and there's a severe unemployment problem in the trans community, but We're not at this place of like, trans people can only have sex for money.
And I just don't like being around that, honestly.
I sound like an uptight Christian woman, but I don't.
When I've watched your videos on Islam, I think you do a pretty good job of making a distinction between a set of ideas and a group of people, and that we shouldn't be prejudiced towards people, but we're allowed to criticize ideas.
So that's a huge misconception on the left where I think they fight so hard because, which is why they call, you know, people who voice concerns about Islam racist because they associate that with brown people.
Apparently, if you're brown, you have to have all these 20-year-old white saviors jumping to your rescue.
Absolutely, because you think of, you know, When it comes to Christianity, like the slightest problem with Christianity, which there are some but not really that many anymore, they'll jump on that.
Like the gay cake situations all the time that pop up sometimes.
Whenever that pops up it's like, but what I didn't like is that these small shop owners just get their lives ruined over it and it's just like media attention to the extreme and like their shops get shut down and they lose their livelihoods.
That's horrible.
But another one of those petty disputes.
I just, I can't care about that too much, you know?
Yeah, I'm guessing you were probably basically with me on that, which would be that I don't want the government telling a private company to offer a specific service.
I wouldn't demand that the government tell a Jewish painter to be forced to paint Holocaust imagery if someone commissioned them to do it.
So you're holding the camera and you know, you've got the bandages all over and you're talking about, so can you just describe a couple of the things that you underwent?
Either that something could actually go wrong, which I'm sure does happen sometimes, or that, you know, you could look at, now you're in L.A., I mean, you're gonna walk around and see all these women all the time, and plenty of men now, too, actually, with, you know, plastic surgery gone wrong, that are having far less done than what you just did.
How worried were you when you finally took that last gasp of the gas, or whatever, when they put you under?
All right, we had you get up, we did a little stretching.
Okay, we're good to go.
All right, there's a zillion things here, so let's just jump right in.
From Patreon, how difficult has the trans community been with her given many of her views that run counter to the general position they hold?
We talked about this a little bit, but have you gotten any particularly really hateful stuff from trans people because you talk about the things that you talk about?
If you just search up, like, Blair White trans on YouTube, I feel like there's a million videos from trans people who are just, like, trashing me, which is fine.
A ton of threats.
A ton of, like, if you show up at this event, we're going to do this.
It's crazy.
But a lot of the trans activists that aren't even actually trans are just activists who fight for trans people because that's, like, their fight.
That's interesting because Brett Weinstein at Evergreen State was telling me that sort of same thing.
He never feared violence from any of the black students, but he feared violence from the white students because they were the ones that had to really prove how pro-black or whatever that they really were, which is really kind of...
Yeah, I'll keep it.
Fascinating.
Super chat, Dave, your beard is looking good.
Hashtag no shave Dave.
Okay, thank you.
Yeah, keep it.
Do you have a, all right, I think it's staying.
Do you have a favorite subscriber and would you ever consider doing a collab video with them?
Affirmative action, I feel like there was a time and place for that, which is now gone, especially for women.
And then as far as like, if we can relate it to like the trans thing, a lot of the activists fight for special employment rights, like not being able to Use the wrong pronoun in the workplace, which actually makes the trans person who's being employed a huge liability.
Because then, who wants to hire someone who's a financial, it's already bad enough for the trans community as far as unemployment, and they make it worse.
Okay, so trap is like, it's like 4chan lingo, 4originated, I believe.
It's like boys who dress up as girls and don't tell the person they're sleeping with.
They're not trans, they're like traps.
They're just like, you've probably seen the type around Hollywood.
Like they're not trans, they're not making changes like that, but they're just like, they're trapping people, which is like super immoral and just like horrible.
So traps are gay.
unidentified
Because they're just gay boys dressing up as girls and tricking guys.
I mean, I don't think there's any data to see if that like compounds or something or if it's like put together, you know what I mean?
But again, I much prefer to hear from people like that than to sit here as like, like I said, a prissy tranny from California talking about like, oh, military.
Like I just, I take that with more than a grain of salt for sure.
When I have kids, I'm definitely not going to be talking about all this stuff with them until they're very old.
Obviously the trans thing is going to come up because they'll be able to google me or whatever.
But I don't see any reason why anything beyond teaching kids to be kind to people regardless of who they're interacting with.
I don't see why you should go past that.
I think when they get a little older and, you know, they hit puberty and start learning that, you know, the boys in their class sometimes are going for the other boys or whatever, then it's like appropriate.
But when it's like little kids, don't confuse them.
I'm curious, have you ever been approached by any of the LGBT organizations, or GLAAD, or Human Rights Watch, or any of those?
Of course not.
So I want people to really understand that, because I was always ignored by all of them when I was doing my thing, too.
Even though I wasn't fully where I am now, and it's clear in my beliefs, I wasn't there, yeah.
And I was always ignored by them, and I'm ignored by them now, which I don't even care about.
But I think people should really understand that, that you, because you're an individual who thinks what you think, They will never, this group, this sort of umbrella group that controls a lot of the gay fun out there.
So that does show you how this diversity memo that we've all been talking about with this James Damore thing at Google and all that, how that has seeped into all of these companies.
Why can't YouTube promote one of your videos if they're doing something about trans people?
Like, you don't have to promote the ones where it's like, you know, me with blood on my face talking about how trainees get beat up for tricking men or something.
I think so, because they do the non-binary thing, and the agender thing, and there's just a lot of different terms floating around.
And it creates barriers, for sure.
I mean, that's just kind of how the human mind works.
We categorize people, and we find our tribe, and as you start splitting the tribe even smaller, it's like then it's just a bunch of people who are in their own little bubbles.
I talked a little bit about this with Lacey Green, that when you get something to the point where you have to label every little person's feelings about every little thing this way, that way, that I think of the average person is just like, fuck this.
Like, I don't need to, I'm not even going to talk about this.
Right, you and I as audience, we're very involved in all these conversations, but when it comes to real people, you can't just walk to 7-Eleven and start talking about non-binary and shit.
It doesn't compute, it's not real life.
That goes back to me saying I don't appreciate being expected to suspend my belief of how the real world works.
That's interesting, the passing as it relates to politics.
I guess the way you could relate that is that Caitlyn Jenner, because she obviously had great surgeons, and you know, some people it's probably just a little more It's digestible.
Yeah, digestible, but I didn't want... It's that their features at the beginning may be a little more easy to transition with or whatever it is, that if she had come out on the other side looking very different or not passing that perhaps she wouldn't have been as accepted as she was?
When it comes to just the general hate and just, okay, so these people go after you, and yes, a certain amount of people are gonna go after you now because you're popular and all of those things.
I know a lot of people say, oh, I don't care about any of that, I don't read any of that, but I really sense something in you.
Yeah, I think we all need a little more of that in our lives, probably me included.
Regarding puberty blockers, this is from Patreon, regarding puberty blockers and or hormone treatment for children, consent becomes an issue.
Don't you think it makes more sense to wait until they have better executive functions relevant for consent as measured by objective criteria such as prefrontal cortex development, I mean, just think back to yourself at 12.
You think you really could have made a decision that impacts the rest of your life.
You just can't.
I think of myself at 35.
this would be about 14 to 16 years old, on average, if I remember well.
I like the fact that that was kind of technical, but basically saying that there's a,
Um, yeah, one of the most interesting things about my channel is that I...
I don't want to sound conceited, but because of my channel, there's been other trans people that have come out and been like, Blair's the reason why I feel like I can say this.
So, that's been really great for me, just to see every once in a while a video will pop up from a trans person saying, so, I've thought this all my life, but I didn't want to say it, but I saw Blair talking about it and now I can.
And I think that's great, you know what I mean?
I think the more freedom to say what you want, the better, for sure.
So I find, lately especially, I'm finding that the Christian, conservative Christian community has been absurdly open.
I think they've sort of gotten, not to say there aren't some people using scripture in a bigoted way, but even when I was on vacation I met these Christian conservatives that They could not have cared less, and they wanted to know if I was a good person and all that.
I think right now, for all the things that I believe in, I get way more from just the so-called tolerant left than on the right.
I get invited to all these.
I'm speaking tonight at a libertarian thing at a college outside of LA, and it's Claremont McKenna.
It took me making my YouTube channel to kind of understand that, like, It is kind of a new thing, but it's there that people care more about ideas than people, you know what I mean?
Or than identities.
So a lot of my hate, almost 98% of my hate, comes from people who fight for trans rights, which is so crazy to me.
I actually was doing a live stream a week ago and I was saying how I would love to do a video with Ben Shapiro just talking about it.
Not necessarily like a heated debate or whatever, but just going over it would be so interesting because we have similar views but also radically different views when it comes to it.
You know what, why don't I talk to Ben and we'll see if we can do it right here.
Ben's a good guy and even if you guys won't make peace on that specific thing, I think there's a lot more that you agree with and I know that you'd use that as a jumping off point.
Do you think that gender dysphoria is something that one is born with or do you think it's a product and or rejection of one's environment?
All right, Super Chat, we got about 12 minutes left, guys, if you wanna jump in on Super Chat or on Patreon.
With LASIK eye surgery not being covered by most health insurance companies, it's rated the same as plastic surgery, why is trans being pushed when there are others that benefit physical health?
I have a boyfriend out here, so I've been going back and forth from where I live to LA, where he lives.
And every single time I have ever flown in my life since being trans, since transitioning, I've been... the scanner pops up my body and I have to get patted down.
Every single time.
I've never not had that happen.
And it definitely is like super invasive and it's like...
Because what happens is, when you go up to TSA, the agent has to select male or female.
So, when I'm walking through, they select female.
But then, on the scanner, an anomaly pops up in the crotch area.
Which is, you know what I mean?
Right.
So, every time I have to get... I call it an anomaly.
I understand that TSA is there to keep everyone safe, but it's like the worst thing in the world, because sometimes they're like rude about it, and you're treated like you're a terrorist.
And it's like, come on.
I'm walking in six-inch heels, I'm not a terrorist.
Patreon, even if sex is genetically defined, don't you think it makes more sense for sexual orientation to be based on a pattern of attraction based on what triggers it?
That is, since we have no gene-scanning vision, the secondary sexual characteristics of a person and overall masculinity, femininity instead of sex.
He seems like a great guy, and obviously you guys are great together, but then the onus is suddenly on him to have to explain something to family and friends that he never had to explain before.
Oh, I think you're going to dig this one from Super Chat.
Would you consider converting to Islam just to watch the progressives writhe from the conflicting tears that you occupy on the social victim slash enemy scale?
Right, because there could be then physical reasons that they're still going through things, okay.
And then it continues, my concern is that a frontline scenario and their potential reliance on hormone replacement therapy, that in a wartime scenario they may not have access to those medications and risk becoming a danger in terms of trans suicide rates, which turn risks on their fellow soldiers and their altered mental state at the loss of H to the hormone replacement therapy.
That's interesting, that just in the cause of war, adding an extra element where you need certain If you're reliant on a medication like that, then I would say no.
Are you enthused, though, at least, how many libertarians or classical liberals, whatever it is, are on YouTube?
Because you see all these people, young people get on YouTube, they start earning money, they start realizing what, they want involved in their life or not.
And I see so many of them actually shifting to libertarianism because of that.
So that's at least enthusing, rather than just, we may not have enough artists yet.
So, to reword my previous question, do you think sexual orientation should be based on secondary sexual characteristics and noticeable cues instead of sex, which is something we can't naturally detect unaided.
This would make liking traps or people with the XY female syndrome not gay.
They're basically saying, like, is sexual orientation defined by secondary sex characteristics, which is, like, your face, your body, outward, rather than just genitals.
And I would say that that's actually kind of how it works.
Like, if you look at... One thing I like to say when people think that it's, like, homosexual to be with a trans woman, it's like, well, it's not the straightest thing, not the gayest thing.
But also that if you...
It's not the strangest thing, but it's something interesting.
This is going to sound completely amateur or something, but is there trans porn of For guys that have fully transitioned or at that point, why would you?
I didn't even tell you, but you're sticking around for a rapid fire for patrons only, where I'm just gonna plow through things that... Yeah, and you're just gonna have to...
