RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 7 contestant Jasmine Masters has found herself in hot water following the resurfacing of an old video that fans have labeled “transphobic.”
Note: If you proceed to read this article from this point, please read the WHOLE article and watch Jasmine’s entire apology video below!
Back in May, before she found out she was going to be part of the cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Jasmine released a controversial video covering “Trannygate” as part of her “I Have Something to Say” series. As of this writing the video has been removed, but the main comment in the video that caused the recent uproar was:
[quote]I would never in my life call no transexual, no – whatever you are – I’m not calling no man who was born a man when they first got into this world, no disrespect to nobody, a fucking woman… you can act like a lady, but you will never be a woman.”[/quote]
How about we take this to the next level?

In a new 11-minute apology video, released earlier today, Jasmine explains herself and the mindset she was in during that time. “I just came off shoot off at the mouth,” she explains, “and me shooting off at the big mouth, I said and hurt a lot of people and I did not mean that.”
Watch the entire apology video below with an open and forgiving mind. We all say the wrong things at times, especially in the heat of the moment. Remember the words of RuPaul, “Everybody say love!”
The lesson we can all take from this: The things we say and do can come back to bite us in the butt later, so be mindful and think about how what you say and do can hurt others and yourself.

But she said much more than that. Insulting trans people and saying “I’ll never call a man born as a man a woman” is closed minded, rude, and ignorant. I’m not saying anything negative about her apology, just commenting on you saying “Tranny is just a word.” She didn’t JUST use that term, she was offensive as all heck and NEEDED to apologize like she did.
