    I am an LGBTQ ally

Transcript

One thing I'm finding out through having a subscriber page is how insecure women actually are. I made a video a while ago saying that if we want women to be soft and feminine, then we must protect tier. And a bunch of women got into the comments and said, yeah. We need to be protected from men, only men. Well, that's weird because I made one of my worst public on my subscriber page that really isn't nothing more than you've seen women no. And all of the men in there are saying very nice things, and there's a lot of women in there saying very nasty things. Listen, baby. I know seeing a man having a better body and physique than you and seeing men gush over that body instead of your own body makes you feel insecure, but that doesn't mean you need to come for me. I literally made a video thinking I was in a safe space talking about how I am a heterosexual man, but I have had homosexual experiences in my early twenties. And you think it would be guys in there bashing me for it, making fun of me for it, and trying to tear me down, but it's just women. Now why would a woman care about my homosexual experiences or from heterosexual to homosexual or the pictures that I post? Insecurity. It could only be insecurity. It's all fine and well when a woman shows off her body and has a bunch of men sending her money and gushing over her, but the second a man does it, especially a man who claims to be heterosexual, y'all lose your mind. And stop worrying about my girlfriend. She helps me take those pictures. A lot of those pictures are her idea. That's why I love Sally with all my heart because she's a secure woman. I was unaware that the LGBTQ community had so many enemies. Well, I will not be one of them. I will be more than that. I will be an ally. Baby boys and girls, you should ask some people about me what happens when you come for me and mine. Because sure. Go ahead and eat me up and make fun of me for having homosexual experiences and being confident enough to talk about it, but I've also had jail experience. I've also had a lot of violent experiences. I've also had a lot of physical training and combat experience. So I understand why I make you feel insecure because as a man, I have a better body than you do as a woman. And even with all of my gay followers and homosexual experiences, I could probably whoop your man. I'm really him, sis.
