Le’Veon Bell Addresses Flirty DMs To Trans Sex Worker After Anti-Trans Tweet

by

Recently, Le’Veon Bell took to X to reveal one of the reasons he decided to vote for Donald Trump. “I don’t want my daughter to have to compete or share a locker room with men,” he wrote. This anti-trans rhetoric didn’t sit right with many and prompted one trans woman, Lex, to fire back. She shared screenshots of various DMs Bell previously sent her, requesting her phone number, asking if she was in town, and more.

“Spewing this rhetoric when…& yes this was on my nsfw page he knew I was a doll lol,” she wrote. Now, Bell has addressed Lex’s revelation, admitting to FaceTiming her and blocking her shortly after. According to Bell, he didn’t know Lex was trans, and no longer pursued her after learning she was.

Le’Veon Bell Exposed For Allegedly Sliding Into Trans Sex Worker’s DMs After Anti-Trans Tweet

Le’Veon Bell is certainly no stranger to voicing his political opinions online. Recently, however, this backfired on the athlete when he decided to use his platform to spread anti-trans rhetoric. Earlier this week, he was letting his supporters know some of the reasons he decided to vote for Donald Trump. “I don’t want my daughter to have to compete or share a locker room with men,” he wrote.

For obvious reasons, his tweet rubbed several social media users the wrong way, including a trans sex worker named Lex. She wasted no time firing back and did so by exposing Bell’s own alleged DMs to her. In the messages, he allegedly asks her if she ever visits L.A., asks for her number, and more.

Le’Veon Bell’s Tweet Backfires

“Spewing this rhetoric when…& yes this was on my nsfw page he knew I was a doll lol,” Lex alleged in her caption. Before allegedly exposing Bell, she told her followers she’d be putting all of the Trump-supporting men who’ve slid into her DMs on blast. “Outing all DL men including celebrities that ever hit me up and post about Trump idgaf,” she wrote. She also shared that she was nervous about another one of her posts, but described being fed up with celebrity men.

“Nervous to post what I did but I have dealt with so many celebrity men over the years and protected them on behalf of danger of myself and embarrassment of them but to see them being so vile like they don’t fantasize about us constantly,” the post reads. At the time of writing, Bell has yet to respond publicly to Lex. What do you think of Le’Veon Bell getting exposed for allegedly sliding into a trans woman’s DMs after posting an anti-trans tweet?

Dave Chappelle Takes Aim At Trans Community & Disabled People In New Netflix Special

by

These days, Dave Chappelle is known for standing by his non-PC approach to comedy, and his new special is no exception. The Dreamer arrived on Netflix today, raising eyebrows and getting social media users talking. The special features various jokes about the trans community, disabled people, Will Smith’s infamous Oscars slap, and even Lil Nas X.

One of Chappelle’s jokes centered around him meeting Jim Carrey on the set of Man On The Moon, in which the actor stars as Andy Kaufman. “I was very disappointed because I wanted to meet Jim Carrey and I had to pretend he was Andy Kaufman all afternoon. It was clearly Jim Carrey. I could look at him and clearly see it was Jim Carrey,” he explained, citing Carrey’s method-acting. “I say all that to say … that’s how trans people make me feel.”

He later joked that in an attempt to mend his relationship with the trans community, he wrote a play about a trans woman. “To be honest with you, I’ve been trying to repair my relationship with the transgender community cause I don’t want them to think that I don’t like them… You know how I’ve been repairing it? I wrote a play. I did. Cause I know that gays love plays. It’s a very sad play, but it’s moving,” he described, “It’s about a Black transgender woman whose pronoun is, sadly, n***a. It’s a tear-jerker. At the end of the play she dies of loneliness cause white liberals don’t know how to speak to her. It’s sad.”

Chappelle didn’t stop there, however. He went on to joke that he’d now be targeting disabled people. “Tonight, I’m doing all handicapped jokes,” he declared. “They’re not as organized as the gays and I love punching down.” What do you think of the jokes Dave Chappelle made about trans people in his new Netflix special? Do you think the comedian crossed the line? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Tinashe Claps Back At Lance Armstrong’s Comments About Trans Athletes

by

During a recent episode of Stars on Mars, Lance Armstrong voiced his opinion on trans athletes. The cyclist brought up a podcast he did with Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman who doesn’t believe trans women should be treated the same as biological women when it comes to sports. They suggested that trans women should not be able to compete in women’s sports at all. The controversial take got him a ton of backlash.

In discussing the incident on the TV series, another contestant on the show, Tinashe clapped back. “To me, I think you just have to care about, if you ‘otherize’ people, it’s not good for their mental health,” she explained. In a confessional, the singer also says she “wasn’t really shocked to hear his opinions.” “I definitely didn’t think that he should be the spokesperson for that,” she explained.

Tinashe Warns Armstrong Not To “Otherize” People

Armstrong insisted that he’s not trying to exclude trans athletes. “You want to transition? Let’s do it – you have your own category. We’re going to have a whole new division. We’ll celebrate you just like we celebrate everyone else. Let’s go. What’s unfair about that?” he asked. “By the way, I sound like a right-wing lunatic. I’m not,” he explained, “I’m the most liberal person, but from a sporting perspective…”

“You might not agree with me, and I might not agree with you, but that’s ok,” he says in a confessional later, “And there’s a lot of sensitive subjects. It’s not just trans issues and trans in sports, it could be abortion, it could be war, it could be gun violence, anything. Global warming. But if you can’t feel safe to enter into the conversation, then we’ve all lost.” Last month, Armstrong also took the debate to Twitter. “Is there not a world in which one can be supportive of the transgender community and curious about the fairness of Trans athletes in sport yet not be labeled a transphobe or a bigot as we ask questions?,” he asked. Many allies and people in the trans community found his comments transphobic, but he doesn’t appear to be letting up any time soon.

World Boxing Council In Works To Create Transgender Category

by

As transgender athletes continue to champion for rights and access in the sporting world, the World Boxing Council is currently planning to create a category specifically for transgender boxers.

Speaking with The Telegraph about the decision, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said, “We are going to put out a global call for those who are interested in 2023 and we will set up the protocols, start consultation and most likely create a league and a tournament.”

“It is the time to do this, and we are doing this because of safety and inclusion. We have been the leaders in rules for women’s boxing – so the dangers of a man fighting a woman will never happen because of what we are going to put in place,” he continued.

On the WBC’s plan to debut a transgender category, the official added, “We are creating a set of rules and structures so that transgender boxing can take place, as they fully deserve to if they want to box. We do not yet know the numbers that there are out there, but we’re opening a universal registration in 2023, so that we can understand the boxers that are out there – and we’ll start from there.”

Several transgender fighters have been making a name for themselves in recent years. According to ESPN, Patricio Manuel made history in 2018 when he became the first transgender man in the United States to professionally compete in boxing. 

Fallon Fox has also found success in the professional fighting field, becoming the first openly transgender woman to face off in mixed martial arts.
