Trans Woman Shares the Most Disrespectful Things Men Have Said to Her on a First Date

It's 2022, y'all. Educate yourself. TikToker Bel Priestley aka @belpriestley is an influencer who shares personal stories that she's encountered as a trans woman. From the UK, she has over a million followers who love and support her. Due to the nature of the internet and our society, however, she obviously has some uneducated trolls who leave hurtful comments. Even with the hate, Bel is good at letting them know they are not going to stop her from living her best life. Most of her videos she keeps colorful and light hearted while being a symbol for trans rights to her followers. Her videos are also a great way to help educate people who really know nothing about being trans and maybe that will help make this world a little more inclusive. 

Recently, she shared a lighthearted video of her dancing that also showed the not-so-lighthearted ignorant things uneducated men have said to her on first dates. 

Just existing in society as anything but cisgender is already full of ups and downs—enter the dating world at those ups and downs become the world largest emotional rollercoaster ride. Bel describes her many adventures in life as she works on being true to herself day after day, but it's truly the ignorant cis men that take the cake for audacity in her life. Men have send things to her that are just downright mean. Like, why are you going on a date with her if you're just going to be rude? She's dated guys who will straight up ask her questions about her private parts. It's like, that is not appropriate in ANY situation, why WHY would you think that's ok to do now??

The audacity is simply perplexing, but Bel seems to be used to it at this point. Her video is her dancing while revealing these horrible date lines and you can see that it's her way of brushing off that kind of ignorance. Her viewers are very supportive of her and try their best to lift her spirits in the comment section and also help shutdown and ignorant commenters spouting hate. 

“The audacity…”

One viewer commented, “The audacity was on clearance !!” “Aw Bela you deserve so much better,” someone else added. Another popular trans influencer on the app even commented saying, “Omg I haven’t dated yet I’m terrified for these moments haha.” Many people in the comments also came to the aid of this influencer showing their support to her as well.
