Sup, you beautiful bastards. Hope you have been a fantastic Wednesday. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show and a quick note before we start.

I still get asked what is the best way to support this show, especially since we're a show that constantly gets demonetized.

And what I always say is, you know, there's a lot of different ways.

We bust our butts to make sure that we have sponsorships to make up for things. and easiest way to support the show is with a paid subscription at DeFrancoelite.com. Some set it and forget it, others take advantage of perks like some early videos, extra access.

And all of it of it, of course, help support what we're doing here and over on Rogue Rocket.

But with that said, let's just jump into it.

And the first things we're going to talk about today, we actually have two bits of trans news that have a lot of people up in arms. And the first is a situation involving a model by the name of Carissa Pinkston.

Crissa has worked for major brands like Mark Jacobs and Rihanna's Savage by Fenty line. And she had recently popped up in the woman in a transgender context according to gender and not sex. This is how they want to be perceived. In a biological context, there are females and males. This is the world in 2019. So she made those comments. There was a lot of backlash and then she posted this to Instagram. I wasn't ready to come out about it yet, but today I got fired and I've been receiving hate male and death threats ever since, so I'm being forced to tell the truth.

I'm transgender.

I transitioned at a very young age and I've lived my life as a female ever since.

It's been very hard to keep this secret, but what I said about trans women is a direct

reflection of my inner insecurities, and I have since come to realize that I am a woman.

We all are. Now that post has since been deleted and there's a big reason why.

Many people, including models in the industry, who claim to know her personally, called her out saying she is not actually transgender.

This including Elise Wilson who commented on Carissa's post saying she does not know how she got sex reassignment surgery at a young age. Also saying she had seen baby photos of Carissa, she had seen her naked,

and that even though they have many trans friends, this conversation had never been brought up.

And going on to say that she would fully support Carissa if this were true, but ended the comment

by saying, but she's lying about being transgender. Aaron Phillip, who is a transgender model,

tweeted about Carissa's post saying, imagine being a model who got exposed for being a raging transphobes saying extremely transphobic shit in the past and then resorting to lying about being transgender online for clout in an attempt to save your career. I know this person in real life and she is so cisgender. And then a few days later, Carissa posted another screenshot to Instagram addressing the lie. Apologizing for the transphobic remark. Adding, I panicked and thought if I came out as trans,

that I could somehow make things better for myself,

but appears I've only made things worse.

Correct, it has.
