Chris Crocker Enters The Tranny Discussion, Tells Trans Fringe To “Leave RuPaul Alone!”

tumblr_mw7i5o99eK1rl4b3ro1_500Opinionated gay, part-time porn star and trans beauty Chris Crocker wants you to “LEAVE RUPAUL ALONE” over this “tranny” business.

This topic “isn’t going away anytime soon,” he says, so he’s made an eight-minute video in which he spills the tea all over the fringe trans activists currently attacking their allies over words.

“When you make someone like RuPaul the enemy, you are doing your community a huge disservice,” he says. As a person with experience living as a transgender woman, Crocker says the biggest issue the trans fringe faces is that it’s “unyielding” and “does not want to hear it.”

There’s a real case for drag queens using the term “tranny” in gay male culture that you just can’t touch, he says, and trans women worried about RuPaul using the word “tranny” have much bigger problems they need to deal with.

“I really can’t think of anyone that has opened more minds, to straight people, as to who we are as multidimensional human beings and not just whatever they think of us,” he continues. “RuPaul’s Drag Race has really done that, and they’ve had multiple trans people on there that have told their stories. We all know that RuPaul knows the battle that trans people have gone through.”

“It’s sad, it’s disheartening, it makes me sick that people are painting RuPaul as transphobic. I think it’s really dangerous.”

Bye, hunties! Hate on Ms. Crocker all you want, but this video already has more views than Carmen Carrera’s Cake Boss episode.
