Blaire White

White has described feeling gender dysphoria from a young age. At the age of 18, she was a victim of date rape by a man, which she later revealed in a video collaboration with Shane Dawson.[4] White's father died the following year. When she was 20 years old, she came out as transgender to her family and friends and began feminizing hormone therapy in 2015. White attended California State University, Chico, where she studied computer science. While attending college, she appeared on a friend's live stream, and commenters encouraged her to start a YouTube channel of her own.[2]

While studying in college, Blaire was feeling dissatisfied and frustrated with the way some contentious issues regarding gender equality, men's rights and feminism were being addressed during class by her professors and fellow students.[5] Moreover, she felt like her beliefs weren't being equally represented on the political discourse at campus, hence White began posting mainly anti-feminist political videos on the platform in December 2015, and used it as an outlet for expressing her dissenting beliefs.[6] She continued making videos about her views on social issues like gender politics.[2][7][6] A doxxing fight broke out between White's supporters and supporters of Black Lives Matter when she criticized the social movement. She told Penthouse that she had to contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation.[6]

White has uploaded her political debates with other YouTubers, commentators and comedians.[6] She has also appeared on political talk show The Rubin Report several times, discussing issues including the North Carolina Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act, which requires individuals to only use restrooms and changing facilities that correspond to the sex on their birth certificates. She has also appeared on Shane and Friends, a video podcast hosted by Shane Dawson.[8]

In February 2017, White was banned from social networking platform Facebook for 30 days, drawing complaints from her supporters.[9] Her account was reinstated shortly afterwards, and Facebook said the ban was an error.[3] That same year, White began uploading videos about her personal life, including about her gender affirming surgeries.[6]

On November 11, 2017, White and her boyfriend filmed a video in which they wore hats bearing the Trump slogan "Make America Great Again" and attended an anti-Trump protest on Hollywood Boulevard. In the video, she claims to have been assaulted twice, and had a drink thrown in her face. Police say that White and her boyfriend began the altercation when they crossed a divider between pro- and anti-Trump protesters.[2][10] White has said that she would not wear a red hat in an American liberal area again because of the confrontation.[6]

In October 2020, White received criticism and backlash following a video she posted about transgender athlete Janae Marie Kroc. White falsely claimed that Kroc competes against cisgender women in powerlifting events and unfairly has won events as a result. Afterwards, Kroc responded on Instagram saying that "everything she said about me was incorrect". Kroc clarified that she has only ever competed before she transitioned, in the men's division, and that she has not competed and does not ever intend to compete against other women. On October 15, White apologized on Twitter and deleted the video from her YouTube channel.[11]

White lives in Los Angeles.[2] She describes her political beliefs as center-right[3] and is non-religious, stating that religion has had little significance in her life.[12] White supported Donald Trump in the 2016 United States presidential election but has stated she remains critical of some of his policies and actions in office.[13]

In June 2018, White announced her engagement to fellow YouTuber Joey Sarson.[14][6]
