'''Blaire White''' {{lived|September 14, 1993}} is an [[United States of America|American]] [[YouTube]] talker who at one time described herself as a "[[tokenism|transgender conservative commentator]]".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171109114157/https://twitter.com/MsBlaireWhite/ Blaire White on Twitter] (archived)</ref> Her YouTube channel description previously stated that she "create[s] videos making fun of [[projection|ideologues]] and [[cultural Marxism]]",<ref>{{a|https://web.archive.org/web/20170701114842/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDmCBKaKOtOrEqgsL4-3C8Q/about|About Blaire White (archived)}}</ref> but now simply says that she is "your problematic fav".<ref name=about /> In practice, White's videos either attack "[[SJW]]" YouTubers or defend [[antifeminist]] talking points or [[transmedicalism|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 subscribers<ref group=note>At 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.</ref> and 153m views,<ref name=about>{{a|https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDmCBKaKOtOrEqgsL4-3C8Q/about|About Blaire White}}</ref> and her [[Twitter]] has 438k followers.<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/MsBlaireWhite|Blaire White on Twitter}}</ref>

==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.{{cn}} It has also allowed her to "blend in" with the cisgender world, giving her a privilege that non-passing trans women do not share.{{cn}} 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===
{{cquote|I lost subscribers today for saying that children shouldn't be sterilized. Imagine that.|||Blaire White<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/MsBlaireWhite/status/783768365286301697|Blaire White on Twitter}}</ref>}}

White is a [[Transgender|trans woman]] who started undergoing transition in 2015. As a result, her views on [[GSM]] issues often get [[Appeal to authority|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,"<ref name=blairetrans>Blaire White. {{a|1=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOjuiAikrU|2=Transgenderism}}. YouTube.</ref> which is false according to the American Psychological Association,<ref name=APA>[https://www.apa.org/practice/guidelines/transgender.pdf Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People], American Psychological Association.</ref> American Psychiatric Association,<ref>{{a|https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22736225|Report of the American Psychiatric Association Task Force on Treatment of Gender Identity Disorder.}}</ref> and the World Health Organization.<ref>{{a|http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/95/2/16-183913/en/|World Health Organization}}.</ref><ref>https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/where-transgender-is-no-longer-a-diagnosis/</ref> 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.<ref>[https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/pg7nq7/to-stop-trans-kids-from-killing-themselves-shocking-study-says-accept-them To Stop Trans Kids from Killing Themselves, Shocking Study Says 'Accept Them']</ref><ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-health/support-transgender-kids-skip-anxiety-study-n527006 With Support, Transgender Kids Skip the Anxiety: Study]</ref> White later admitted that she had meant to refer to gender dysphoria, and not transgenderism itself, as a mental disorder,<ref>Blaire White. {{a|1=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_bGNMaAn1o#t=6m07s|2=I WAS WRONG..}} From 6:07. YouTube.</ref ><ref group=note>This is not as bad, but still controversial, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/07/28/the-w-h-o-says-being-transgender-is-a-mental-illness-but-thats-about-to-change/?utm_term=.16b7eb2a3817 at] [https://www.psychiatry.org/File%20Library/Psychiatrists/Practice/DSM/APA_DSM-5-Gender-Dysphoria.pdf best].</ref> 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",<ref name=blairetrans/> despite the research on this topic finding overwhelming correlations between transitioning and positive outcomes for the health and well-being of trans people.<ref name=cornell>[https://whatweknow.inequality.cornell.edu/topics/lgbt-equality/what-does-the-scholarly-research-say-about-the-well-being-of-transgender-people/ What does the scholarly research say about the effect of gender transition on transgender well-being?] Cornell University.</ref>
She has also said that there should be a [[Reparative therapy|"cure for transgenderism"]], which is ''again'' denied by the American Psychological Association.<ref>[http://www.apa.org/about/policy/sexual-orientation.aspx Resolution on Appropriate Affirmative Responses to Sexual Orientation Distress and Change Efforts]. American Psychological Association.</ref>

She also goes out of her way to unnecessarily remind transgender people of their "biological [[sex]]" using non-gender-affirming terminology,<ref>[https://twitter.com/msblairewhite/status/1207742588658147329?lang=en Blaire White on Twitter].</ref><ref name=xanderdef>Xanderhal.

===Gatekeeping===

White holds the [[transmedicalism|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]].<ref name=xandercater>Xanderhal. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6vMSL59HWU Blaire White Caters To Transphobes - Response To Blaire White]. YouTube.</ref>{{rp|19:01}}<ref name=xanderdef/> She presents herself as the standard that trans people should live up to,<ref name=actualjake>Actual Jake. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwJKgpOf2mo Blaire White is the CHERNOBYL of Stupid]. YouTube.</ref> 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.<ref name=xanderfail>Xanderhal. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXXZddFrX3U Blaire White FAILS To Prove She's Not Transphobic]. YouTube.</ref><ref name=xandercater/><ref group=note>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.</ref> 

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,<ref name=vaushwomen>Vaush. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPaflZglj9A Blaire White says TRANS WOMEN AREN'T WOMEN; Acts Confused for 10 Minutes]. YouTube.</ref> 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===

{{cquote|Respect is earned, and the transgender community does very little in the public eye that deserves respect.|||Blaire White<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/MsBlaireWhite/status/812493630938091520|Blaire White on Twitter}}.</ref>}}

Unsurprisingly, White holds that misgendering is [[Blaming the victim|the fault of trans people]] for not doing enough to "look the part",<ref name=actualjake/> 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).<ref name=bigjoel>Big Joel. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1rEtk0b4tw The Death of YouTube Skepticism]. YouTube.</ref> 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.<ref name=actualjake/>

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.<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/MsBlaireWhite/status/803000233110056960|Blaire White on Twitter}}.</ref> When {{wpl|Sam Smith}} 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]]").<ref name=actualjake/> 

White also incorrectly suggested that even one instance of ''completely unintentional and accidental'' misgendering can result in being fired, which has never happened.<ref name=actualjake/>

===Nonbinary people===

White firmly believes that [[Gender binary|there are ''only'' two genders]]<ref name=raw>Williams, Rachel Anne. [https://medium.com/@transphilosophr/trans-people-can-be-transphobic-too-8ad7fe10a2e0 Trans People Can Be Transphobic Too]. Medium, October 30, 2019.</ref><ref>Blaire White. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnQbgShb6r8 There Are Only 2 Genders]. YouTube.</ref><ref>Blaire White. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9WqfBDjRF8 Gender is NOT A Social Construct!] YouTube.</ref> and has at one point called [[non-binary gender]] identities "trans-retarded".<ref name=raw/><ref>Blaire White. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhGx8dI4ads Trans-Retarded]. YouTube.</ref> This has no basis in any academic field of study, whether one looks at [[intersex|biology]], psychiatry,<ref group=note>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.</ref> or {{wpl|third sex|anthropology|.}} 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.<ref>VICE. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=safLwed9SSo LGBTQ+ Community Debates Identity Politics and the 2020 Election (Part 2/2)]. YouTube.</ref> 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.<ref name=xandercater/><ref name=xanderfail/> 

===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".<ref name=children>{{cite web|author=Blaire White|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180902080417/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gtx7OVYby0|title=Children Transitioning|work=YouTube}} (archived).</ref> 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."<ref name=APA /> 

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.<ref name=xanderfail/><ref>{{cite web|author=Magon, Navneet|url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3193774/|title=Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Agonists: Expanding Vistas|work=National Center for Biotechnology Information Search Database}}, US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Indian J Endocrinol Metab, 2011.</ref> She has also falsely claimed that puberty blockers undermine the possibility of having vaginoplasty.<ref>{{cite web|author=Jones, Zinnia|url=https://genderanalysis.net/2017/06/anatomy-of-disinformation-blaire-white-lies-about-puberty-blockers-and-vaginoplasty/|title=Anatomy of disinformation: Blaire White lies about puberty blockers and vaginoplasty|work=GenderAnalysis.net|date=June 30, 2017}}</ref>

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."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.utexas.edu/2018/03/30/name-use-matters-for-transgender-youths-mental-health|title=Using Chosen Names Reduces Odds of Depression and Suicide in Transgender Youths|work=UT News, University of Texas, Austin|date=March 30, 2018}}</ref> In addition, trans YouTuber Zinnia Jones has two citation-heavy response blogs.<ref>Jones, Zinnia. {{a|https://genderanalysis.net/2016/10/transgender-youth-fact-check-blaire-white-is-wrong-part-1-fundamentals/|Transgender youth fact check: Blaire White is wrong – Part 1: Fundamentals}}.

In commenting on a story about young Avery Jackson who had come out as trans and appeared on the cover of ''[[National Geographic Society|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.<ref name=children/><ref name=creationistcat>{{cite web|author=Creationist Cat|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ugwZx6YRKg|title=Does Blaire White Have Flaming Turdz For Brains?|work=YouTube}}</ref> If White had bothered to watch the video in the tweet she screenshotted,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/the_debijackson/status/496664480059621376|title=Debi Jackson on Twitter}}</ref> 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."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thepinknews.com/2014/07/16/video-mother-delivers-moving-speech-defending-trans-daughter/|title=Video: Mother delivers moving speech defending trans daughter|work=PinkNews}}</ref><ref name=listen>{{cite web|author=Listen To Your Mother|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oIuw3yIyhI&|title=Debi Jackson reading "That's Good Enough"|work=YouTube}}</ref> Debi identifies as a Conservative southern Baptist Republican from Alabama<ref name=listen/> — hardly the typical profile of a trans activist — and has a negligible Patreon income;<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.patreon.com/DebiJackson|title=Debi Jackson|work=Patreon}}</ref> she devotes her free time to spreading trans awareness.

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,<ref>{{cite journal|author=Jones, BA; Arcelus, J; Bouman, WP; Haycraft E.|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5357259/|title=Sport and Transgender People: A Systematic Review of the Literature Relating to Sport Participation and Competitive Sport Policies|work=Sport Medicine|volume47|issue=4|year=2017|pp=701–716}}</ref> 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.<ref name=xanderfail/> 

White was lauded for exposing the transgender activist {{wpl|Jessica Yaniv}} 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.<ref>[https://twitter.com/msblairewhite/status/1167799885321498626?lang=en Blaire White on Twitter].</ref><ref name=cultofdusty>{{cite web|author=Cult of Dusty|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoIz8N4yf9c|title=Why Blaire White Is Transphobic Trash|work=YouTube}}</ref>

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBnJ2z40_84 I'M SORRY]. YouTube.</ref> which is somewhat like apologizing to an Italian person for beating them up because you thought they were speaking Spanish.

White wrote that "[[I'm not prejudiced, but...|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]"<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/MsBlaireWhite/status/734434471609569281|Blaire White on Twitter}}.</ref> and made at least one other video dedicated to bullying another trans person for not passing.<ref>Blaire White. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvCXK_54-io YOU CAN'T UNSEE THIS]. YouTube.</ref> 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.<ref name=xandercater/>

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.<ref name=xanderfail/> 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).<ref name=xanderfail/> 

===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.<ref>Kat Blaque. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQvgK9V6WqQ You Need Dysphoria To Be Trans? | Kat Blaque].

She also claimed that {{wpl|Roseanne Barr}} isn't racist<ref>The Progressive Voice.

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.<ref name=pvsteve>Progressive Voice.

===Clickbaiter===

{{cquote|I'm not "throwing shade", I'm simply proud that I sustain myself without selling my body unlike most trans women. It's sad.|||Blaire White, who would ''never'' prominently feature her cleavage in her public pictures or video thumbnails<ref>{{a|https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DGCF4dFXYAARQJ4.jpg|Image}}</ref>}}
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,<ref name=tt1 /> Pt. 2<ref name=tt2 />, Pt. 3<ref name=tt3 />); she later renamed these to "Upset trans people"<ref group=note name=triggering/>

*"Triggered to Death By Milo Yiannopoulos"<ref>Blaire White. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwM-MZjYof8 Triggered To Death By Milo Yiannopoulos]. YouTube.</ref>

On a related note, many of White's videos pass the 10-minute mark by just a few seconds,<ref name=actualjake/><ref name=xandercater/> 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"<ref>Riley J. Dennis. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7merYoGv5U How to be a politically correct bigot | Riley J. Dennis]. YouTube.</ref> 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, [[Dog whistle|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''".<ref>Hughes, Martin. [https://www.patheos.com/blogs/barrierbreaker/blaire-white-needs-laci-greens-logic-class-riley-dennis/ A Case Study in Bad Logic: Blaire White]. Patheos, June 20, 2017.</ref> 
* 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.<ref>Blaire White. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVS5kGU1Joo Are Dating Preferences Discriminatory?]. YouTube, from 4:06.</ref> 
* 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.<ref name=raw/> 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.<ref name=xanderfail/> 
* 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.<ref name=xandercater/>{{rp|8:13}} 
* 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",<ref name=xanderdef/> when what had really happened was that her contract had run out and her employers at CGD elected not to renew it.<ref>Bowcett, Owen.

The Guardian, December 19, 2019.</ref>
* 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".<ref>Xanderhal. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWv062R8SIY Blaire White Says Trans Women Aren't REAL Women, She is Wrong]. YouTube.</ref>{{rp|48:48}} 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."<ref>[https://www.cancer.ca/en/prevention-and-screening/reduce-cancer-risk/find-cancer-early/screening-in-lgbtq-communities/trans-women-and-cervical-cancer-screening/?region=on Trans women and cervical cancer screening]. Canadian Cancer Society.</ref>
* In 2020, [[ContraPoints]] (Natalie Wynn) spent some minutes of her "Cringe" video<ref>ContraPoints. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRBsaJPkt2Q Cringe]. YouTube.</ref> 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",<ref>Blaire White. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AniuJTIFK4 Reacting To Trans Youtubers Who Hate Me]. YouTube.</ref> 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.

===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."<ref>[https://twitter.com/MsBlaireWhite/status/943615787088171008 Blaire White on Twitter].</ref>

==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.<ref>The SkeptiKit. {{a|1=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2_dDJ5HFRs|2=No Bullshit: Blaire White is a "ditzy" "valley girl"}}. YouTube.</ref> 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.<ref>[[Rubin Report|The Rubin Report]]. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REHex5e57HI&t=3m46s Red Pill Black and Blaire White Talk Social Autopsy and Much More (Live Debate)], from 3:46. YouTube.</ref> 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)<ref>Okun, Gabriele.

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 {{wpl|Janae Marie Kroc}} of competing against cis women.<ref>https://www.insider.com/blaire-white-apology-transphobic-video-janae-marie-kroc-transgender-bodybuilder-2020-10</ref> 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. This generated a large controversy among not only the trans community, but the entire YouTube commentary community as a whole for not only blatant transphobia and poor research, but outright ''lying'' as based on the Facebook post that she cropped as a screenshot, she had to have known that Kroc never competed against cis women, and this among other recent controversies (such as White defending [[J.K. Rowling]] while potentially lying about the contents of her controversial book<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rudyvi6bSBw</ref> and using video footage from another creator without crediting them, while saying something that she would've known was false had she watched the first thirty seconds of the video<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9StRvlEcls</ref>) resulted in a slew of response videos and her losing tens of thousands of subscribers. (As a positive note, the fallout of the sitution did result in several trans creators with much less toxic views gaining hundreds of thousands of subscribers, such as Sam Collins and Samantha Lux.)

==Portrayal by ContraPoints==

One of the many characters created and portrayed by [[ContraPoints]] in her videos is Tiffany Tumbles, who is regarded as being a fairly comprehensive parody of Blaire White,<ref name=oscarwilde/> particularly in her second<ref name=tiffany/> and third<ref>ContraPoints.

White has blocked numerous Twitter users for calling her Tiffany Tumbles on Twitter.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Local_Anomaly/status/1187594667673575424 Local_Anomaly on Twitter].</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/AbolitionSound/status/1213598918518484992 AbolitionSound on Twitter].</ref> She's <i>definitely</i> not a snowflake.
