For argument sake, I understand Blaire White to be a woman. This is independent of the knowledge she chose to only undergo cosmetic facial surgeries and breast augmentation, while retaining everything else.
I think I remember reading that she politically aligns 'right' and is politically vocal about being a male, living as a trans woman. I'm not 100% sure, though. It's not a way that I could understand living, but it is financially lucrative in her case.

There is a person who declares themselves to be male.

That person chooses to live presenting as a female.

In spite of their self declaration as a male, complete with male genitals, you understand that they are a woman.

And you ascribe their understanding of themselves being male, at least partly, to financial motives.

This is either monumentally arrogant or monumentally stupid thinking, or possibly both. Or perhaps you just like playing with a largely female forum and seeing how many feathers you can ruffle.

One thing is for sure, and that is that I don't think anything you write on this subject from now on is going to be of any value to read.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

I tend to take up different political stances than Blaire, but appreciate his respectful and considered approach to expressing his views even when this is the case. We tend to agree on trans issues.

It was interesting to hear that a poster indicated that Blaire claims he is male for monetary reasons. I guess there isn’t much else that can be levelled at him because he does have passing privilege and he can’t be accused of sucking up to feminists - based on his wider perspectives.

In this video, I did wonder if they had a particularly lame TRA to put forward the TRA side, but I’m not sure any others would have done much better if they engaged in the points. I expect they would have resorted to accusations of transphobia. This thinking led me to respect the TRA a bit more because they stick with the points at hand even though it was clear to all that their argument was incoherent.

Here is Blaire White debating with a TRA and calling out similar nonsense. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tZv_MQoTQXY&ra=m

What a great bloke! I've not listened to him before. Gorgeous looking too, I'll bet that was expensive.

All the more reason to “let it go, let it goooo!” 🎶

Not worth the time and energy as he doesn’t live in any shared reality with the rest of us (as he often puts it), so no real discourse is possible, only word games.

Oh but that one post was so special, it really did deserve a thread 😁

If PPW pops up on other discussions we can point straight to the utter ridiculousness of the post I've quoted in this one.

Me too but I wasn't going to let that one go.

I think he's just taking the piss and seeing how far he can stretch our gullibility now.

Sorry I’m out. I’ve reached my limit in self indulgent male twaddle and being used for male amusement.

My money's on all of the above FWIW.
