Crazy Vegans Hate Blaire White (WARNING: IMAGE HEAVY)steemCreated with Sketch.

Blaire White's video

Blaire White is a transgender conservative commentator, beauty queen, and perfector of the roast. She's talked about a wide range of issues from Trump as president to a misinterpreted article about a supposed trans bathroom rapist (spoiler: The rape took place in a private residence. I am not commenting on the validity of this person's gender identity). Needless to say, White has accumulated a lot of hate throughout her time on YouTube, especially from other more liberal trans people.

White quit being vegan* after ten (10) years because she suffered from vitamin and mineral deficiencies as well as recurring fatigue and faintness. In addition to estrogen pills, she took supplements in order to make up for the deficiencies. However, White found it impractical to keep taking as many supplements as she did and, under her doctor's advice and guidance, gave up the diet. As a result, the Vegan Hate Mob™, likely followers of Vegan Gains, flooded White with (negative) comments about her choice to go back to using animal products. Some chalked her health issues up to misinformation, inadequate research, lack of calories, not eating fortified foods, and otherwise dismissing her decision. Others called her a man (an obvious and unoriginal dig at her being trans) or an animal murderer.

Below is the video Vegan Gains made. Turn back now if you have a low tolerance for cringe.


Vegan Gains response video. If this article makes at least $2.00, I will write about him.

To be clear, I have nothing against the vegan diet in and of itself. I think it's very admirable to go vegan either for health or ethical reasons. However, what I do have a problem with is the idea that everyone can and should go vegan. White became lethargic on the vegan diet despite her best efforts. She talked about making an informed decision for her own health. She was not attacking vegans or even talking about the culture surrounding ethical veganism. The thin veneer of ethics is easily shattered when someone does not follow their rules.

*As a side note, White mentioned that she sticks to vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics.

Below are some hot takes from the drama if you don't want to scroll through miles of comments.


And I thought the alt-right was transphobic.


Gotta love Internet nutritionists.

Why don't you speak to HER DOCTOR whose advice SHE TOOK?

Can implants do that? No seriously, can they do that?

You mean she's (gasp) making money doing what she loves?.

Lethargy to the point of not being able to get out of bed and feeling faint after sitting are minor when compared to a conscious decision to omit entire food groups from one's diet on the basis of ethics?

I am not a vegan myself, but I can distinguish between a dietary choice and a plant-based, bacteria-sourced B12-fortified martyr complex. If adherents of a meat-only diet attacked Blaire White for using vegan and cruelty-free makeup or for being vegan in the first place, I would have the same problem. I hope these people can realize that attacking people will not create proponents of veganism, but opponents. The same goes for all movements, beliefs, and lifestyle choices.
