Blaire White is an American political Youtuber and conservative political commentator.[1] She is best known for tackling controversial topics on her channel from the unique perspective of a transgender woman.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Biography
When Blaire was in her first years of elementary school, she felt weird about herself and where she belongs.[9] She began to notice the differences between men and women, and while she was not miserable in her life, she was not comfortable in her assigned gender.
By age 14, her feelings had intensified as she had been to go through puberty and began to develop a male body. Even though she wasn't ready to transition at a young age, she felt very lost and confused about her gender.
By age 16, Blaire started experimenting with hair and makeup and dyed her hair many crazy colors such as purple, pink, blue, and red, and wore bright makeup. She sometimes even wore blue contact lenses. Although she identified as a gay teenage boy, she still felt insecure about her gender.
At age 18, Blaire had began growing her hair very long and wearing more feminine clothing. Her look had began to form. She had come to terms with the fact that she was transgender and decided that she had to transition. However, she wasn't able to because her father died of cancer unexpectedly and she had to pause her plans to take care of her mom.
Eventually by age 20, she came out as transgender to her family and friends and began feminizing hormone therapy. Her family was very supportive of her.
Youtube
Blaire White's first ever known appearance on YouTube, before her transition, was in two videos she made for the channel Illuminau5ty when she was 18. Her video "Tuesday on Relationships" was posted to the channel June 5, 2012. Her second video was "Tuesday's Acrobatic Failure" posted June 13, 2012. The latter video is the last video ever posted on the channel.
After that video was posted, she had come to the realization that she was trans and began transitioning to female.
Blaire began her current YouTube channel on November 27, 2015, but posted her first video there on December 2, 2015 called "Female Privilege | Antifeminism". Next, one of her most popular videos, "Male Victims Are Funny?" has amassed more than 225,000 total views. On December 14, 2015, she had a live stream with Theryn Meyer. She continued making videos about her life, and how she views the social movements Black Lives Matter, Feminism, and Gender Politics. She also began to make response videos to other feminist YouTubers, including Riley Jay Dennis, Milo Stewart, Philogynoir, Dakota Hendrix, MTV, and Onision.
On July 5, 2016, she made a video called "Black Lives Matter is Trash!" where she criticized a Black Lives Matter activist who derailed a vigil held for the victims of the Orlando Shooting. It caused a lot of controversy and she had faced an onslaught of Black Lives Matter activists who attacked her on social media platforms, and threatened to dox her. She had to go on a social media blackout for a few days, then came back on July 15, with a video explaining 7 reasons backing up why she thinks that Black Lives Matter is trash.
She continued making videos on current events that had been happening near the end of 2016, where she voted for Trump in the election. She says that she has big plans for 2017. She attended VidCon in June 2017 with Shoe0nHead. On July 31, 2017, she announced on her channel that she would be getting transition related surgeries, like facial feminization surgery, and took a break for a few weeks in the following August.
