I’ve known about Blaire White for quite some time. And despite what the media says, Blaire White is not a woman.
The latest discussion about White came up recently on TERF Radio, a weekly X space hosted by women who refuse to pretend biological sex is optional. TERF stands for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist, a term often used as an insult toward women who insist that sex is real and that women should not be erased to accommodate feelings or ideology. We wear it as a badge of honor. I’ve purchased t-shirts with the term TERF on them. Over time, many women have embraced the label simply because they are tired of being told that stating biological facts is hateful.
For future reference, and if you want to add it to your calendar for future weekly Spaces:

This week, the conversation centered around a lengthy Washington Post profile that portrayed White as a conservative “trans woman” who is supposedly bridging the gap between the Right and the LGBTQ movement. The article attempted to frame White’s life and career sympathetically, highlighting his popularity among conservative media figures and his role as a unique voice in today’s political landscape.
In the article it showed images of pink guns and red MAGA hats because you see, Blair White is a conservative man pretending to be a woman. So naturally, pink guns do the trick.
What the piece ultimately showed, however, is how normalized gender ideology has become, even among conservatives who claim to oppose it.
Conservatives Are Starting to Bend
The Right frequently criticizes gender ideology when it appears in schools, women’s sports, and government policy. Conservatives argue, correctly, that biological sex is real and that society should not pretend otherwise.
But that firmness often fades when a man who identifies as a woman also happens to align politically with conservatives. When that person praises Trump or appears on popular right leaning podcasts, the language suddenly shifts. Many conservatives begin referring to him as a “trans woman,” adopting the same terminology pushed by the Left.
For the record, a trans woman is a man. There is no such thing as a trans woman. Period. I don’t care if there is an R next to his name or not.
Blaire White has become a popular guest across conservative media and is often treated as proof that the Right can be reasonable and compassionate on gender issues. Again, for the record, gender is a made up term. He is presented as the acceptable face of trans activism, someone who supposedly shows that gender ideology can coexist with conservative values.
But calling a man a woman does not make it true. It simply makes the conversation more comfortable.
Conservatives should not confuse politeness with reality. When the language bends, the principles soon follow.
You cannot oppose an ideology while quietly adopting its vocabulary. Once biological sex becomes something flexible in everyday speech, it eventually becomes flexible in law and public policy as well.
My View Is Simple
I do not care what political party someone belongs to.
Biological sex does not change based on personal identity, political affiliation, or social pressure. Men are men. Women are women. There is no such thing as a trans woman.
A man who identifies as a woman remains a man.
Hormones do not change sex. Surgery does not change sex. Clothing and appearance do not change sex. These things may alter how a person looks, but they do not alter biological reality.
Stating this is not cruel, and it is not hateful. It is simply honest.
Human bodies come with limits. We do not get to choose every aspect of who we are, and pretending otherwise does not make society kinder. It only makes it dishonest.
I am not willing to lie about reality in order to make someone feel more comfortable.
A Warning to Conservatives and Republicans
This is where conservatives and Republicans need to pay close attention.
Do not bend on biological reality simply because a “trans” influencer happens to support your political views. Do not glorify it or turn it into a symbol of how tolerant or modern your movement has become.
You do not fight a lie by celebrating it when it comes in friendlier packaging.
A conservative man calling himself a woman does not make the idea less false. It only makes it politically convenient.
The Left pushed gender ideology openly and aggressively. The Right now risks adopting it quietly, under the guise of politeness and acceptance.
Quiet compromise is often more dangerous than loud activism. It is how ideas that once seemed extreme become permanent parts of culture and policy.
White has even said he plans to run for office as a Republican in Southern California after the midterms. When ideology moves from social media into politics, the pressure to soften reality only grows stronger. If conservatives cannot hold the line on biological truth now, it will be even harder once candidates and campaigns are involved.
Conservatives do not need a trans spokesperson to prove they are compassionate. They do not need to soften reality to seem reasonable.
Truth does not require rebranding.
This Is Not Hate. It Is Reality.
One of the most effective tactics used to silence debate today is labeling basic facts as cruelty.
People who say men cannot become women are quickly labeled hateful, women who defend sex based spaces are called extreme, and even using accurate language is now framed as violence.
This is emotional manipulation.
Reality is not bigotry.
Women lose when sex is erased from law, language, and public life. They lose opportunities in sports, privacy in personal spaces, and clarity in policy. When society pretends sex is merely a feeling, women’s rights become negotiable. That is misogyny in practice.
That is why many women now embrace the TERF label rather than run from it, not out of hatred, but out of a refusal to disappear.
The Washington Post Missed the Point, On Purpose?
The Washington Post profile attempted to present Blaire White as a bridge between conservatives and the LGBTQ movement, suggesting that his presence in right-leaning spaces represents progress or understanding.
What it actually demonstrated is how deeply gender ideology has embedded itself in mainstream discourse.
Even when White openly acknowledges that he is not biologically a woman, the media still insists on presenting him as one.
Even when conservatives oppose gender ideology in principle, they still participate in it through their language and behavior.
That is not building a bridge. It is surrendering ground.
Holding the Line on Reality
I am not interested in playing pretend for anyone, regardless of their political views or social media following.
Biological sex is not a political opinion. It is a fact of human existence.
Men are men. Women are women.
I will not bend on that because someone votes Republican, appears on conservative shows, or packages the same ideology in a more appealing way.
Reality does not change.
And neither should we.
