"In my heart I am a valid African American man" — Bachelorette alum Josh Seiter slams liberals who condemned his transracial journey
The Bachelorette alum Josh Seiter has recently spoken about his transracial journey through tweets on X. He shared a tweet on November 16, where he explained struggling with his racial identity for a long time. In the tweet, Seiter claimed that he was in "wrong skin."
In the much-gone viral tweet, Josh Seiter wrote:
"Being born in the wrong skin isn’t easy, and I’ve spent years in agony trying to reconcile my racial identity with the skin pigmentation I was assigned at birth. I know I will face racism and hate from ignorant people as I begin this journey, and transition into the authentic African American man I was always meant to be..."
The information on the tweet was, however, not taken very positively in comments. Responding to them, Seiter posted another tweet on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. In the tweet, he wrote that the criticism that he allegedly got from the "liberals" was "crippling." He further wrote:
"I refuse to let the racism or transphobic comments stop me. I know in my heart I am a valid African American man..."
This tweet made by Seiter has gained more than 1,200 likes.
In May, Josh Seiter revealed that he was going to transition into a woman
Josh Seiter made headlines a few months back when he shared an open letter on Instagram. In the letter, he expressed his desire of transitioning into a woman. In the letter posted on May 21, Seiter revealed that he had struggled with gender identity for a long time. He wrote:
"I no longer want to hide who I am, and I no longer want deal with the mental turmoil that comes with suppressing such an important of me. So I ask for your thoughts and prayers- and patience- as I transition..."
In the post, Josh added that he decided to keep this part of his life private for about three decades. Since then, the reality TV star has shared his journey on social media. His feed was covered with videos in which he spoke about different elements surrounding the transition.
In October, Josh appeared on Blaze TV's Prime Time with Alex Stein, where he revealed that the information about the transition into a woman was a hoax. He further added that he was just doing a "social experiment" on the internet "to expose how gullible and delusional the left is."
"I hope that this could help some people understand that just because you put on dresses and makeup as a man doesn’t magically make you a woman," continued Josh Seiter.
Seiter made similar remarks while talking to The Daily Mail as well in October 2024. According to him, he was doing the experiment just to start the controversy. Josh Seiter further added that he wanted to understand how far people would continue the "postmodern gender ideology and woke culture."
He also bashed the "science" behind modern gender ideology. According to Seiter, it lacked credibility. As for his current tweet about his transracial journey, people criticized him after his previous "hoax."
