His debut album Montero, featuring Elton John, Miley Cyrus, Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat, is released on 17 September.Minaj has always been a controversial rapper with an enthusiastic, loud fanbase. In fact, it positioned him as public enemy number one for some Americans – and they haven’t stopped making their views known ever since.īut Lil Nas X remains unbothered – he has instead focused on his music, blowing fans away time after time with his extraordinary songs. Needless to say, the music video didn’t go down particularly well with Christians and conservatives. Earlier this year, he sent fans into a frenzy with his song “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)”, which was released alongside a music video that showed him sliding down a pole to hell where he gave Satan a lap dance. Lil Nas X’s latest initiative comes after a busy few months for the star. If you're wondering why some trans people may be expressing discomfort towards the pregnancy photos by i prompt you to look into the reaction towards pregnant trans men posting on social media and the backlash they face, especially recently. I’m down for everyone to indulge their desires for pregnancy - Lil Nas X, cis guys, trans women, your mom. I have been a pregnant trans guy, Lil Nas X’s album is dropping on my birthday, and it is not transphobic. Me, who actually is trans and pregnant rn, dehydrated and delirious from losing my guts up until 4am, waking up to see the album announcements with dried tears and snot on my face: “Aww dang, what if I had maternity photos that were this cute?” Not gon lie, the way folks are treating Lil Nas X’s parody pregnancy post highlights a small fraction of violence trans men and other Masc non-men receive when they are carrying a child in real time. We should be pushing for more gender fuckery, not policing it. Lil nas x is fine, I don't really think being reactionary abt cis people playing with gender in their art serves trans people. Many trans men said that they felt seen by the images, and were here for the “gender f**kery”.
He also argued that Lil Nas X’s fake pregnancy stunt was “insensitive” given the recently passed abortion ban in Texas, which severely restricted abortion access in the state.īailar’s post sparked significant debate on social media – some agreed, while others argued that Nas wasn’t being transphobic, and pointed out that other, white cis men had pulled similar stunts without attracting criticism. Writing on Instagram, Bailar pointed out that trans men “can and do” get pregnant “all the time”. Schuyler Bailar, a trans swimmer, branded the stunt “transphobic”, suggesting that its humour relied on the shock factor of seeing a pregnant man. Lil Nas X’s charitable efforts come after he found himself embroiled in a row following his fake pregnancy announcement. They stay grasping at straws… /0lPtthJC5f Looking forward to seeing Lil Nas X’s haters twist this into something that hurts children, the Black community, Christians, decency, etc. You know a lot of these charities wouldn’t even be necessary if “Christian” worried less about blood sneakers/fake pregnant bellies and more about kids getting kicked out of the house for coming out… /9JfFvdW4mV
Others took the opportunity to make some important points about Christian bigotry.
large boy hug enjoyer September 7, 2021 As a trans dude, I was really apprehensive when I first heard about the shoot but you really handled the whole thing well. Look I know this shit is gonna be drowned out but I honestly appreciate you putting a trans org as the first charity.
