Lately I’ve been going through a little bit of an identity crisis.
I woke up this morning feeling like a chicken nugget.
In my head, I feel like I’m a transgender female-to-male, but also, like, a drag queen.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it’s Trisha Paytas coming out over and over again.
Today, we’re taking a look at five times Trisha ‘came out’ online.
Chicken nugget.
The chicken nugget I feel like is the McDonald’s chicken nuggets, and they’re fake.
They start out as pink goop and become a chicken.
And that’s what I am, I’m pink goop.
Back in 2016, Trisha posted a video of herself crying on her kitchen floor and claiming that she felt like a chicken nugget.
And while I may seem delicious, I’m really harmful and toxic.
It looked like she was comparing being a chicken nugget to feelings of emptiness that she was dealing with.
I don’t have fries, I don’t have a shake, I don’t have a plastic toy.
I’m a chicken nugget, and
there’s something wrong with my chicken nugget.
I think I’m a broken one, I’m a defect one.
Trisha also admitted that life had been getting tougher for her,
which may explain her strange behaviour in the video.
I don’t think I should be discriminated against, and I don’t think I should be talked down upon.
And I don’t think I should be called crazy for identifying as such.
Gay.
Also in 2016, Trisha posted a video about her sexuality.
I always thought I was bisexual, and now I’m realising that I’m actually gay.
She spoke candidly about recent sexual experiences she’d had with men and women,
and how she’d always felt a deep connection with women.
I’ve always been really open that I like the idea of a relationship with a girl.
Trisha then opened up about her sexuality label and how she saw herself fitting into the LGBT+ community.
I’ve really come to the realisation that I’m never happy in a relationship with a guy.
The only time I’m happy is when I’m around girls and when I’m in relationships with girls.
People were stunned by Trisha’s announcement, since she had been very vocal about liking men up until that point.
Then, in 2017, Trisha shocked the public once again when she tweeted:
This was met with a lot of confusion and doubt after the announcement that she was a lesbian.
Black.
Potentially one of Trisha’s most controversial ‘coming outs’,
in 2017 the YouTuber posted a video titled ‘My ethnicity has changed.’
I identify as a white person, I feel like that’s how I was born but I’m not quite sure.
This video was all about her ethnic identity,
which Trisha claimed she’d been unsure of for years
due to people telling her she ‘looked like she might be African-American.’
Maybe I have some African-American in me, I just got to, like, go back.
Trisha also shared her thoughts on why she liked the idea of being a Black person.
Who knows, like, I could be related to Michael Jackson.
Like, do you know what I mean? Just like, endless possibilities could be of this new life for myself.
Viewers weren’t happy with Trisha’s announcement, with one YouTuber user commenting:
Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Earlier in 2020, Trisha posted a now-deleted video titled ‘Meet My Alters’,
a term used to describe the different identities people can slip into
when dealing with dissociative identity disorder.
The switches are real scary.
Trisha can be seen ‘slipping’ into various identities throughout the video.
So like, if you can’t get over it honey, then you have to get over you too, okay?
But viewers weren’t convinced that she was telling the truth and they were vocal about their outrage.
One Twitter user said:
I’m crazy, b****, you’re crazy too, like, get over it.
Transgender.
Also in 2020, Trisha posted a now-deleted video in which she came out as a transgender man.
I do love girls and I love, like, their sensitivity and all that stuff like that.
But that’s why I identify more as, like, a gay man, because I like guys but I also identify as a guy.
This video caused a lot of controversy,
as many transgender people thought Trisha was just messing around and making a mockery of the trans community.
So, do I think I’m transgender? Yes, a thousand per cent.
Do I identify with my natural-born gender? A thousand per cent.
After the video had been posted, one viewer tweeted:
Other people were angry at Trisha’s apparent lack of respect for the identities she has claimed to have,
with one tweeting:
Also, trans YouTuber Stef Sanjati responded with:
To which, Trisha replied:
