Blaire White vs. Jessica Yaniv Monday August 5th at 9pm

[TerfTalk]

I thought I'd start a new thread as the other one doesn't have a clear title.

Sorry- I meant she believes she is a transwoman.

I had a look at some of Blair's videos some time ago when their name was mentioned on here. I vaguely remember Blair in a male toilet saying if I used these toilets I would be chucked out. However it was quite a while ago and it could have been parody as I didn't pay too much attention.

Well, this should be entertaining. How do I watch?

Argh wtf is wrong with mn today?

Anyone have a link? Is it fb?

Just found it on YT.

Here is the link to it. Also apparently it starts at 10pm not 9pm?

I do think it's positive how Blaire is challenging a lot of the mainstream narrative about sports, multiple genders etc. However, it's worth noting their first video was this, about how she is antifeminist and believes women have more privileges than men, which she believes she can declare because she has experienced life as 'both genders.' I've not watched all of it so I don't know if she addresses the high rates of women killed by domestic violence, how rape is rarely prosecuted, how women are still seen as property in many countries, how they are. forced to wear oppressive clothing in several cultures. A man who decides to 'identify' as a woman and then declares that women have no real problems and are actually more privileged than men is pretty terrible to hear. They don't have our biology for a start, so have no idea what it's like to bleed heavily every month to the point of getting anaemia, as one of many examples:

Sorry to keep posting but basically in the above video Blaire shows a lot of attitudes found in men's rights activism. So worth bearing in mind before we think they are an ally.

It's just more of the same.

Blair White is not an ally. They are just less of an extremist.

Blair White is no ally to women at all. I'm happy that someone with such a high profile is bringing the behaviour of JY to a larger audience but I'm under no illusion that for BW the debate is about increasing traffic to their YouTube channel and in turn their income.

The "I am not a feminist" video; what can you say, they have no idea. Even the most poorly read feminist could take the arguments apart quite easily.

How does someone as clearly 👀 as Yaviv manage to abuse the system to persecute and abuse others. How does Canada stop it happening again? Where are the checks and balances? I hope White highlights that.

I wonder if part of it is other people’s basic kindness. They see how delusional and I’ll JY is, so they are gentle with him.

Did you see the interview where he says he can get pregnant? He has a weird trying-to-be-sexy voice and eye roll. Maybe people don’t push him out of compassion.

He’s not very bright and he’s clearly ill. It would be too easy to rip into him and destroy him.

OTOH the Canadian authorities really do need to curb him now. He’s damaged women’s livelihoods and is alleged to be criminally abusive.

BW is right-wing so we disagree on many things.
She always acknowledges that she is male and uses the term transsexual, not transgender.
She uses women's toilets but not any places where her genitals would be seen as she realises that would be unacceptable.
I've never really had a problem with that kind of transsexual though I realise that many people will disagree.

Magdalen Berns has done a few tremendous response-to-Blaire videos. Worth looking up afterwards.

To watch or not?

It is 2 men argueing about which is more of a woman - yikes!

Increases BW's revenue.

Want to see JY get owned, also want him to have as much exposure as possible - in media rather than swimsuit sense.

BW has had huge amount of surgery that im against just in general and certainly would not want younger people to see that as a possitive thing. Is more of a gender bender rather than "call me maam!".

I wonder if Blaire's views have evolved since that first video, since she is now defending the women that JY took to court and said she's donating money to them. Hmm, who knows.

Oh fucking hell this is infuriating. 🤯

Cannot cope with the performance of woman so had to switch off!

Yeah 2 guys talking about how they do women better. 🤦‍♀️

Blaire has no idea. It is really concerning.

I've had to switch it off, the wig and the fawning is too much, yuck.

JY brought up the rape crisis centre trying to say how terrible it is they won't help trans people, without saying it is a service for women only. Why can't these people accept they are now entitled to use every service out there. There are charities set up in my area that are specifically for BME and Asian women, it would be like me demanding that they also help me, a white woman. There are also charities for over 50s, alcoholics, diabetics. Charities for cats do not also help dogs - instead, charities for dogs help dogs. Organisations and charities are allowed to have a focus.

Not everything is for you.
