Blaire White is an American conservative political YouTuber.[1]

Biography

White has described feeling gender dysphoria from a young age. When she was 20 years old, she came out as transgender to her family and friends and began feminizing hormone therapy. 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.[1]

White lives in Los Angeles, California.[1] She describes her political beliefs as center-right.[2]

YouTube

White began her YouTube channel on November 27, 2015,[3] and posted her first video on the platform on December 2 called "Female Privilege | Antifeminism".[4] She continued making videos about her life, and her views on feminism, gender politics, and social movements like Black Lives Matter.[1][5]

In February 2017, White was banned from social networking platform Facebook for 30 days, drawing complaints from her supporters.[6] Her account was reinstated shortly afterwards, and Facebook said the ban was in error.[2] 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. Fact-checking website Snopes.com has partly debunked the claim, stating that the altercation had happened, but that it is unclear if the drink-throwing was staged, and that police say that White and her boyfriend began the altercation when they crossed a divider between pro- and anti-Trump protesters.[1][7]

White has 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]
