On Sunday (July 23), transgender TV personality, actress and LGBTQIA+ activist TS Madison and comedian and actor Jess Hilarious got into a heated debate after a trans TikToker claimed cisgender women (or cisgender women) “don’t own periods nor womanhood.” After much backlash on both sides, TS Madison is now doubling down on having nothing but love for all women, trans, cis, etc.
As a refresher, an old video of a trans TikToker named Blessing Rose resurfaced, and in the clip, Rose said,“…when the transphobia just comes out, the audacity, and just the arrogance for cis women to believe that they own periods. That they own womanhood. You don’t. You don’t own periods. You don’t own womanhood. You experience both, and both are different for every person. But, as a cis woman, it doesn’t belong to you, so you can’ t gate-keep it.”
Jess Hilarious took to her Instagram and reacted with a video stitched to the trans TikToker’s clip. She asked, “Who the f**k is gonna stand up for US? Who the f**k stands up for US? And US, I mean women, real women, biological women, women who born with all the parts that you guys wish that you were. When does the delusion stop? What is the difference between you and someone who has been diagnosed to be mentally insane? The only difference is you don’t have a straitjacket on.”
Jess continued, “Stop talking out your f**king a**. Wake up! How are you projecting your anger on real women, because we are the gate-keepers. We are the gate-keepers for periods. We’re the only ones that f**king bleed, honey. We’re the only ones that can give birth. We make y’all people. We make y’all. Y’all come from US. You can’t be US, you will never. You’re chasing something you’ll never ever get You’ll never be that.”
TS Madison then subliminally tweeted, “There are sooooo many ‘REAL’ women that get mistaken for being ‘transgender’ women and that’s where a lot of the anger comes from…. I do hope they take a good look at how transphobia affects ALL women…”
She later confirmed her post was about Jess Hilarious after responding back to several users and then eventually posting a receipt of Jess admitting that she, as a cisgender woman, once had a male celebrity DM her. Believing she was a man, they offered to fly her out to anally penetrate them.
TS captioned the post, Let me make one thing clear……I have stood up for and fought tooth and nail for BLACK WOMEN …. I have put a lot of BLACK WOMEN On used my platform to uplift black women as well as let it be known that I AM NOT A FEMALE but i am a black Trans women. So I’m addressing this as such let me put a @ on @jesshilarious_official I have never disrespected you nor came at u publicly when you said side ways sh*t i didn’t like, I inboxed you…. Your mouth don’t put no fear in my heart cause you not the only b*tch that can put a read on the floor! So if it’s up then it’s up! But as a grown individual i don’t wanna go that route cause that’s not gone solve nun! BUT WE CAN, I’m alll day wit it! Now, I posted what I said because of what came out of YOUR own experiences! Every time Trans women and ‘Real” women unite on some good sh*t you nor the blogs ever posting or talkin bout it. The moment one individual offends you, y’all automatically group us all in the mix! I clearly know that only FEMALES have periods and uteruses and have never stood on the side of the majority! But what you not gone do is make it seem like you gone press down on me and call me phony!”
Since all of the back and forth between both individuals, TS clarified where she stands in the feud. While she’s a fierce advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, she makes it clear that she is also an ally of biological or cisgender women.
On Monday (July 24), TS shared a clip from an interview she did with comedian and actor Amanda Seales, on her podcast ‘Small Doses,’ back in April 2023. Captioning the video, TS wrote, “Standing in solidarity. Allyship. Friendship and co-existing. Learning and loving one another. The main reasons why I love Amanda Seales.”
In the clip, TS spoke on a common misconception about her being accused of not liking or being jealous of cisgender women. She said, “There are a lot of women, who think I’m jealous of them. Cisgendered women. They think I’m jealous of them. There’s been a narrative spin that I don’t like Black women, and I have a grudge, or that I have a negative feeling towards Black women; based on things I’ve said, and based on me talking about some experiences that I’ve had. One, I’m not jealous of any woman: cis or trans. And two, you cannot compete… you’re the carbon copy, you can’t compete with the original. I’m not trying to compete with the original. I’ve pulled from, I’ve absorbed and I’ve referenced and revered, but I am not competing.”
