Blaire White

Blaire White is a YouTube talker who at one time described herself as a "transgender conservative commentator".Blaire White on Twitter (archived) Her YouTube channel description previously stated that she "create[s] videos making fun of ideologues and cultural Marxism", but now simply says that she is "your problematic fav". In practice, White's videos either attack "SJW" YouTubers or defend antifeminist talking points or transmedicalist positions on trans issues despite being trans and a woman herself. In short: Blaire White is the Milo Yiannopoulos of trans issues.
As of October 2022, White's YouTube channel had over 1 million subscribersAt one point, she lost thousands of subscribers after a video of her lying about trans athlete Janae Marie Kroc was called out by several major commentary/drama channels. and 153m views, and her Twitter has 438k followers.
==Trans issues==
Overall, much of Blaire White's detachment from the rest of the trans community stems from her status as a cis-passing trans woman. Not only does White pass as a cis woman, she's also conventionally attractive, highly feminine, and petite. This has led a significant portion of conservatives, even those who are normally transphobic, to make an "exception" for her. It has also allowed her to "blend in" with the cisgender world, giving her a privilege that non-passing trans women do not share. That is not to say that passing is a bad thing, but it is important for trans folks to acknowledge that privilege before validating transphobic opinions.
===Pseudoscience===
White is a trans woman who started undergoing transition in 2015. As a result, her views on GSM issues often get extra respect despite being contradicted by science. Indeed, White routinely holds views contrary to those of scientific professionals on trans issues.
She has asserted that "transgenderism is a mental disorder,"Blaire White. . YouTube. which is false according to the American Psychological Association,Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People, American Psychological Association. American Psychiatric Association, and the World Health Organization..https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/where-transgender-is-no-longer-a-diagnosis/ Indeed, in what was probably shocking news to exactly no trans person other than Blaire White, trans children were found to have normal rates of anxiety and depression when accepted by their families and communities.To Stop Trans Kids from Killing Themselves, Shocking Study Says 'Accept Them'With Support, Transgender Kids Skip the Anxiety: Study White later admitted that she had meant to refer to gender dysphoria, and not transgenderism itself, as a mental disorder,Blaire White. From 6:07. YouTube.This is not as bad, but still controversial, at best. which makes one wonder why she used such an offensive title to begin with. 
White has also stated that transitioning is a "faulty" response to gender dysphoria and "not for everyone", despite the research on this topic finding overwhelming correlations between transitioning and positive outcomes for the health and well-being of trans people.What does the scholarly research say about the effect of gender transition on transgender well-being? Cornell University.
She has also said that there should be a "cure for transgenderism", which is again denied by the American Psychological Association.Resolution on Appropriate Affirmative Responses to Sexual Orientation Distress and Change Efforts. American Psychological Association.
She also goes out of her way to unnecessarily remind transgender people of their "biological sex" using non-gender-affirming terminology,Blaire White on Twitter.Xanderhal. Blaire White Defends J.K.Rowling, PewDiePie Is A Nazi Idol (First Stream Of 2020).

===Gatekeeping===
White holds the transmedicalist belief that anyone who does not have dysphoria and who does not medically transition does not qualify as transgender, and accordingly, attempts to narrow the definition of transgender to be synonymous with transsexual.Xanderhal. Blaire White Caters To Transphobes - Response To Blaire White. YouTube. She presents herself as the standard that trans people should live up to,Actual Jake. Blaire White is the CHERNOBYL of Stupid. YouTube. which is rather a slap in the face for the many, many trans people who do not have the privilege of being white (pun intended), beautiful, and rich enough to afford all the elaborate medical procedures she has had.Xanderhal. Blaire White FAILS To Prove She's Not Transphobic. YouTube.On that last point, she has argued that she herself raised all the money to pay for her transition through her YouTube work, but - once again - it is hard to imagine her having being able to do this without being white and beautiful, as well as having a niche as the conservatives' favorite anti-"SJW" trans person. 
She is also inconsistent on what it takes to be trans, raising the bar to exclude certain unsavory individuals even if they are (or may be) medically transitioning. While White (and others) may have found it tempting to misgender a sex offender who had started transitioning in prison and was on hormones,Vaush. Blaire White says TRANS WOMEN AREN'T WOMEN; Acts Confused for 10 Minutes. YouTube. the fact remains that misgendering even the most horrible, vile trans person makes no more sense than it would to misgender a vile cis person, and doing so reveals a belief that being gendered correctly is not an unconditional right for all trans people, but a privilege that can be revoked at any time. 
===Pronouns and misgendering===
Unsurprisingly, White holds that misgendering is the fault of trans people for not doing enough to "look the part", and that gendering a trans person correctly is a matter of being "nice" but not an obligation — a point she continued to make in an interview with Ben Shapiro (who pointedly misgendered her by calling her an "effeminate biological man" during the interview).Big Joel. The Death of YouTube Skepticism. YouTube. She states that pronouns are not a matter of choice, but a result of a subconscious registry of secondary sex characteristics, with the implication that those using incorrect pronouns have no responsibility to change them when corrected. One wonders whether she would say the same thing about the misgendering of cis people (for example, a baby-faced long-haired man or a deep-voiced woman), or whether she has considered that people don't generally start using pronouns until they are at least introduced to the person in question, who will most likely by this time have cleared up any existing ambiguities.
In her discussion of this issue, White portrays trans people with preferred pronouns as entitled, framing them as "policing language" or "forcing" others to use certain terminology.. When began going by "they" pronouns, she accused them of expecting others to "bow down", continued to misgender them by using pronouns associated with their assigned gender at birth, and suggested that their non-binary friends had got into their head (an idea reminiscent of "catch the gay"). 
White also incorrectly suggested that even one instance of completely unintentional and accidental misgendering can result in being fired, which has never happened.
===Nonbinary people===
White firmly believes that there are only two gendersWilliams, Rachel Anne. Trans People Can Be Transphobic Too. Medium, October 30, 2019.Blaire White. There Are Only 2 Genders. YouTube.Blaire White. Gender is NOT A Social Construct! YouTube. and has at one point called non-binary gender identities "trans-retarded".Blaire White. Trans-Retarded. YouTube. This has no basis in any academic field of study, whether one looks at biology, psychiatry,See, for example, the DSM-V definitions of gender dysphoria in both children (302.6) and adults (302.85), which merely require that a person have a strong desire to be "some alternative gender different from one's assigned gender" to qualify as having gender dysphoria. or There is no definition of gender under which it is true. It is first-grade bullshit that merely appeals to the worldview of right-wingers in the United States. 
White has described nonbinary people as having "injected themselves" into the trans community, and asserts that they are not really trans.VICE. LGBTQ+ Community Debates Identity Politics and the 2020 Election (Part 2/2). YouTube. She has several times complained that dysphoric people like her are considered to be the "same thing" as nonbinary people, on account of being both under the transgender umbrella. Nobody is saying this, and her complaint has no more basis than asserting that two people represented by different LGBTQ letters are considered the "same thing" as each other. 
===Childhood transition===
Ironically for someone who denounces "transtrenders," a term that is usually a snarl word for people who reject transmedicalism, White believes that childhood transition is literally "child abuse". (archived). Replace transgender with any other medical condition and the contradiction becomes obvious; this is, however, resolved when you view her not as making reasonable arguments but as pandering to a conservative audience that is looking for every pseudo-rational reason to justify their transphobia. Despite grabbing her a lot of attention, the term "child abuse" for childhood transition is rejected by the American Psychological Association, which extensively discusses trans youth, although it does conclude "consensus does not exist regarding best practice with prepubertal children." 
White has also misrepresented the issue of children being put on puberty blockers, which is an accepted medical practice for children who are deemed likely to be trans, and has the effect of forestalling the process of going through the puberty of a biological sex with which a child may not identify. Overwhelming evidence has shown that, should the child turn out not to be transgender after all, stopping puberty blockers causes puberty to resume as normal with no adverse affects., US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Indian J Endocrinol Metab, 2011. She has also falsely claimed that puberty blockers undermine the possibility of having vaginoplasty.
In a 2018 study, "researchers interviewed transgender youths ages 15 to 21 and asked whether young people could use their chosen name at school, home, work and with friends. Compared with peers who could not use their chosen name in any context, young people who could use their name in all four areas experienced 71 percent fewer symptoms of severe depression, a 34 percent decrease in reported thoughts of suicide and a 65 percent decrease in suicidal attempts." In addition, trans YouTuber Zinnia Jones has two citation-heavy response blogs.Jones, Zinnia. . GenderAnalysis.net.Jones, Zinnia. . Gender Analysis.net. Blaire is also "generally against" the use of puberty blockers for trans children. 
In commenting on a story about young Avery Jackson who had come out as trans and appeared on the cover of National Geographic, White more or less accused her mother, Debi Jackson, of "pimping out her daughter" for money, and dishonestly implied that she had pressured Avery into being trans. If White had bothered to watch the video in the tweet she screenshotted, it actually shows Debi confessing that when Avery came out, "...I had never even heard the word 'transgender' before and really didn't know what to think." Debi identifies as a Conservative southern Baptist Republican from Alabama — hardly the typical profile of a trans activist — and has a negligible Patreon income; she devotes her free time to spreading trans awareness. White's slander of Debi to her huge fanbase undoubtedly contributed to the bullying, harassment, and threats that Debi has received. Notably, White's video was originally titled "Children Transitioning = Child Abuse"Compare this with this. before she changed it. 
White also describes the label "queer" as "brainwashing children".Blaire White. . YouTube.
===Other trans issues===
White thinks that trans women who don't pass shouldn't use the bathroom of their preferred gender.White, Blaire. Breaking Down The Trans Bathroom Debacle. MsBlaireWhite.com, April 15, 2016. To give credit where it's due, when she was being personally invalidated by transphobes telling her she shouldn't use the women's restroom, she responded with a pretty decent take-downSpecifically, she pointedly used the men's restroom in a public establishment, which confused other patrons, and ultimately got her kicked out of the establishment, which was more than enough to prove her point. — but only on behalf of passing trans women.Blaire White. I Used The Men's Bathroom (But I'm Trans...). YouTube.
She vehemently denies the possibility that socially conditioned transphobic biases could play a role in dating preferences.
She objects to transgender women taking part in professional women's sports, claiming that they "destroy" women's sports due to having physiological advantages. In 2017, a systematic review found that there is no evidence for this, and strict regulations exist to ensure that hormone levels and other biological markers do not confer unfair advantages to trans women compared with cis women. 
White was lauded for exposing the transgender activist and getting her to confess to displaying a taser on tape, leading to her arrest. However, in typical fashion, White used this as an opportunity to insult the entire trans community, sharing a tweet that insinuated that trans people in general (and not just Yaniv) were entitled and unreasonable, and deserving of what they get.Blaire White on Twitter.
===Bullying===
 
White loves to showcase non-passing or non-gender-conforming trans people as objects of ridicule.Blaire White on Facebook. She dedicated at least five videos solely to attacking Riley Dennis, a nonbinary trans lesbian YouTuber with a much smaller subscriber base than hers.Blaire White. . YouTube.Blaire White. . YouTube.Blaire White. . YouTube.Blaire White. . YouTube.Blaire White. . YouTube. White used to misgender Dennis... because she didn't think of her as truly trans,. and took the liberty to refer to her and her girlfriend as "heterosexual" on account of Dennis still having a penis,Blaire White on Twitter (archived). despite the fact that White herself was contentedly non-op at the time.Blaire White. Why I'm Not Getting "The Surgery". YouTube. Upon discovering that Dennis had actually been receiving hormones and laser hair removal and thus qualified as "real trans" in White's book, the latter then offered an apology to Dennis,Blaire White. I'M SORRY. YouTube. which is somewhat like apologizing to an Italian person for beating them up because you thought they were speaking Spanish.
White wrote that "I DONT WANT TO BE A BULLY but Milo Stewart is actually transitioning into a lawn gnome now, as I predicted. :X [image of Milo Stewart as lawn gnome]". and made at least one other video dedicated to bullying another trans person for not passing.Blaire White. YOU CAN'T UNSEE THIS. YouTube. She even sometimes dismisses rather feminine-looking trans people as not having made any effort to transition in her books, and takes the liberty to call them guys.
She has also used malicious video thumbnails on a couple of occasions. In a video in which she responded to an article by Rachel Anne Williams accusing her of transphobia, she described Williams' profile photo as "tragic", and proceeded to photoshop a beard onto the photo to use as the video thumbnail. Even worse, in another video with the title "I'm A Predator, But It's Okay Cuz I'm a Drag Queen" - Okay..", White originally, and slanderously, used the thumbnail of an innocent orange-haired, bearded drag queen before she later corrected it to show the real predator (who passes very well). 
===Trans representation===
White justifies her actions as being motivated by wanting to improve the public image of trans people, and expresses fears about this image being "ruined" by people who don't pass the way she does. Trans YouTuber Kat Blaque has a somewhat sympathetic take on this, speculating that White is so invested in how cis people see her, and so sensitive to others who are not like her, that she feels driven to throw them under the bus for the sake of acceptance.Kat Blaque. You Need Dysphoria To Be Trans? | Kat Blaque. YouTube. This all smacks of White trying to be "one of the good ones", with her struggle for "trans acceptance" being seemingly limited to only a relatively small number of passing trans people, while excluding everyone else (nonbinary, non-dysphoric, non-passing etc.) from the trans umbrella in No true Scotsman fashion.
She has asserted that "the left is fighting a fight transgender people don’t want",Beck, Chris. Trans Personality Blaire White to Progressives: Butt Out. SpliceToday.com, August 16, 2016. an assertion that is contradicted by modern polling.The 2015 National Transgender Discrimination Survey showed that seventy-nine percent lean Democrat, fifty percent identify as Democrats, and only two percent identify as Republicans. The most popular independent affiliations for transgender people were socialist, social democrat, and Green Party.
She also says she "doesn't like the LGBT community",Blaire White. . YouTube. even though it's largely because of them that she has the freedom to be who she is. In her video series "Triggering Trannies" (later renamed to "Upset Trans People")Compare November 2016 with November 2017 White freely admits that the LGBT community opposes her views, although she blows it off as "just the SJW branch".Blaire White. . YouTube.Blaire White. . YouTube.Blaire White. . YouTube. 
White takes pride in not engaging in a "victim mentality", and believes she can speak for other trans people who have had it much worse than she has in many ways. Grant, Jaime M., Ph.D.Lisa A. Mottet, J.D.Justin Tanis, D.Min. Injustice atEvery Turn: A Report of the NationalTransgender Discrimination Survey. National Transgender Discrimination Survey, 2011. Despite not being a "victim" and scoffing at identity politics, she still uses her transgender status as a shield against accusations of transphobia by cis people. Totally not identity politics.
==Antifeminism==
White is an antifeministBlaire White. . YouTube. who has made quite a large amount of clickbait content of the "REKT FEMINIST" type.Blaire White. . YouTube.Blaire White. . YouTube. She goes as far as to assert that female privilege exists,Blaire White. . YouTube. contending that "society is kinder and more polite to women".
She also claims that rape culture doesn't exist,Blaire White. . YouTube. and has described the feminist view of rape as follows:Blaire White. . YouTube.
In addition, she denies the existence of the gender pay gap.. Her reasoning leaves a lot to be desired: 
==Racial issues==

She has repeatedly opposed Black Lives Matter on videoBlaire White. 7 Reasons Why Black Lives Matter Sucks. YouTube.Blaire White. Black Lives Matter Is Trash!

White once infamously tweeted a photo in which her face was covered all over with black face cream, which she captioned with the hashtag #blacklivesmatter and terms mocking progressives,Screencapped here and here as the original tweet is gone. resulting in accusations of blackface. She responded to this in a video in which she displayed the photo in question but suppressed the caption,Blaire White. The Truth About My "Racist" Past. YouTube. effectively misleading her audience into believing that the criticism was levied at the photo alone (which she passed off as nothing more than an innocuous face-mask) rather than the photo in the context of the racially-charged caption, and thus, falsely painting her critics as paranoid SJWs seeing racism where there wasn't any. 
She also claimed that isn't racistThe Progressive Voice. Blaire White Says Roseanne's Comments Weren't Raceeest, Then Deletes It *FAIL*.

While it is true that calling White an ethnonationalist could be considered a bit extreme, it is completely understandable how someone unfamiliar with her content could make that mistake, considering her vehement support of Milo Yiannopoulos (who himself was a collaborator with Richard Spencer & many alt-righters during the 2016 U.S. presidential election),Blaire White on Youtube (screenshot). video titles meant to shock and provoke questions of possible racism,Blaire White (screenshot). casual racist imagery for shock value,Blaire White on Twitter (screenshot). her (probably non-serious) advocacy of gassing refugees,Blaire White on Twitter (screenshot). and her vague support of white supremacy.Blaire White on Twitter (screenshot).Blaire White on Twitter (screenshot).

Results from Tom K. Wong et al., 2017 National DACA Study. American Progress, October 7, 2017.
In 2019, White announced she was leaving politics and suggested that she had information concerning certain right-wing pundits being frauds who didn't fully believe the things they said in public. She asked Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks to DM her on Twitter, hinting at giving her information.Progressive Voice.

==General nuttery==
===Clickbaiter===
White's videos have typical clickbait features. For example, many of her video titles are full of ALL-CAPS, playground insults, or political buzzwords:
*"Triggering Trannies" (Pt. 1, Pt. 2, Pt. 3); she later renamed these to "Upset trans people"
*"Children Transitioning = Child Abuse"
*"The Worst SJW Yet: Brainwashing Children"Clearly an attempt to outdo Stephen Colbert's nonsensical book title I Am America (And So Can You!)
*"RILEY DENNIS KEEPS GETTING DUMBER"
*"WORST RILEY DENNIS FAIL SO FAR"
*"The Dumbest Riley Dennis Video So Far"
*"Sensitive Tranny Thinks Words Are Violent"
*"Feminism: The Biggest Joke (Women's March)"
*"My Feminist Roommate Attacked Me"
*"Triggered to Death By Milo Yiannopoulos"Blaire White. Triggered To Death By Milo Yiannopoulos. YouTube.
On a related note, many of White's videos pass the 10-minute mark by just a few seconds, achieving the threshold for a mid-video advertisement, which may suggest a lot of deliberate padding for the extra revenue. 
===Misrepresentations===
White has, many times, misrepresented the words and arguments of others, often to portray them in a negative light. Here are a few examples: 
* When Riley Dennis made a video called "How to be a politically correct bigot"Riley J. Dennis. How to be a politically correct bigot | Riley J. Dennis. YouTube. with a series of real-world examples of the form "if you want to say bigoted statement A but can't because of political correctness, say B instead", White repeatedly twisted the direction of the argument around to falsely claim that Dennis had said "everyone who says B is a bigot who really wants to say A".Hughes, Martin. A Case Study in Bad Logic: Blaire White. Patheos, June 20, 2017. 
* After Dennis contended in another video that finding out one's date was trans might not be a dealbreaker, White made out that Dennis had said it cannot be a dealbreaker.Blaire White. Are Dating Preferences Discriminatory?. YouTube, from 4:06. 
* Author Rachel Anne Williams recounted a time when she had called White a "fascist transphobe", White had replied, and her 200,000 followers had descended on Williams. White framed this as Williams accusing her of harassment rather than simply explaining what had happened, without even delving into the substance of Williams' article. 
* When leftist YouTuber ContraPoints was criticized for expressing discomfort with being asked her pronouns in circles where nonbinary people are present, White, in an unwelcome defense, twisted ContraPoints' words to make it sound like the latter agreed with her take on nonbinary people. 
* When J.K. Rowling was called out for defending Maya Forstater who lost her job after producing such Twitter gems as "men cannot change into women", White weighed in and stated that Forstater had been "fired", when what had really happened was that her contract had run out and her employers at CGD elected not to renew it.Bowcett, Owen. Judge rules against researcher who lost job over transgender tweets. The Guardian, December 19, 2019.
* In a rant about how trans women aren't "biological women", White ridiculed the Canadian Cancer Society's page on "Trans women and cervical cancer screening" on the grounds that "there isn't a trans woman alive who has a cervix".Xanderhal. Blaire White Says Trans Women Aren't REAL Women, She is Wrong. YouTube. She didn't read or show the body of the article, which explains that "If, however, you’re a trans woman who has had bottom surgery to create a vagina (vaginoplasty) and possibly a cervix, there’s a very small risk that you can develop cancer in the tissues of your neo-vagina or neo-cervix. The risk depends on the type of surgery you had, the type of tissue used to create your vagina and cervix and your personal health history."Trans women and cervical cancer screening. Canadian Cancer Society.
* In 2020, ContraPoints (Natalie Wynn) spent some minutes of her "Cringe" videoContraPoints. Cringe. YouTube. commenting on White's modus operandi and the Jessica Yaniv situation. Contra applauded White for exposing Yaniv and said that she was loving this new direction for her, but called into question the idea that White's main motives are protecting children and the image of trans people, as opposed to entertaining her audience with cringe content, considering White's Yaniv-themed merchandise and the "following Yaniv's make up tutorial" video. White grossly misrepresented and butchered what Wynn had said about her in a video called "Reacting To Trans Youtubers Who Hate Me",Blaire White. Reacting To Trans Youtubers Who Hate Me. YouTube. claiming that Wynn had said it was somehow "wrong" and "negative" and that White "shouldn't have done that", and tried to falsely paint Wynn as a hypocrite by showing a DM she had sent her, encouraging her to continue pursuing Yaniv, while neglecting to mention that Wynn had stated that she was, at the time, genuinely loving what White was doing.
===Useful idiot===
White has been interviewed by far-right individuals such as Alex Jones,The Alex Jones Channel. Libertarian Transgender Speaks Out On Liberal Persecution. YouTube. Paul Elam,AVFM Hangouts.

===Fake news===
In December 2017, White unironically tweeted a screenshot of a fake news article from neonnettle.com with the headline "Eminem: Being White is So Embarrassing, I Want To Kill Myself", commenting "Being white isn't embarrassing, but white guilt sure the fuck is."Blaire White on Twitter.
==Victim of transphobia==
Like nearly every other trans person in the world, White herself has been on the receiving end of transphobia. For example, YouTuber No Bullshit described her as a "ditzy" "valley girl" because of her transgender identity as well as her California residency.The SkeptiKit. . YouTube. During a session of the Rubin Report in November 2017, conservative commentator Candace Owens also deliberately misgendered White, citing discomfort with using the "she" prounoun and calling her "a grown man" several times.The Rubin Report. Red Pill Black and Blaire White Talk Social Autopsy and Much More (Live Debate), from 3:46. YouTube. In the same month, The Daily Caller published a piece about one of White's political stunts, which referred to her with male pronouns (he, his, himself) throughout the article (though not in the URL)Okun, Gabriele. WATCH: Anti-Trump Protesters Attack Transgender Who Wore MAGA Hat In Hollywood. The Daily Caller, November 13, 2017. as well as in their clickbait twitter summary of one of her political stunts: "Transgender Wears Trump Hat Around Hollywood, And The Reactions Were Even Worse Than He Expected".The Daily Caller on Twitter During an interview with Ben Shapiro, he also misgendered her, calling her a "very feminine biological man", and she has been messaged by transphobes telling her she shouldn't use the women's restroom.
While this treatment is unacceptable, it does not excuse any of White's own behavior.
==Janae Marie Kroc==
On September 27, 2020, Blaire released a video entitled "Trans Athlete: 'I Belong In Women's Sports, Get Over It!'", in which she accuses trans bodybuilder of competing against cis women.https://www.insider.com/blaire-white-apology-transphobic-video-janae-marie-kroc-transgender-bodybuilder-2020-10 However, one of Kroc's Facebook posts, namely the very one that Blaire screenshotted in her video, had her state that she never competed against cis women, nor does she ever plan to.
