Chapter 1: What recent controversy is a leftist TikToker facing?
Guys, sometimes I ask myself, is woke alive and well, or is it dying? And today is one of those alive and well times. I'm going to get into a recent scandal that is viral and set the internet ablaze. And it's all about a feminist content creator who's being accused of being a TERF. If you don't know what that means, I'm going to be your leftist translator as a former leftist myself.
And I've come to the conclusion that if woke dies, it will be because these people have eaten each other alive. Guys, before we get into today's video, please like and subscribe. Today we're going to be talking about feminist content creator, Paris Mawendwa, who's found herself in a big tub of hot water recently online. And when I tell you why, I don't even think you're going to believe it.
It is so ridiculous. Just to give you a little bit of background here, Paris is a young 21 year old girl who makes feminist content on TikTok. Now, her videos range on various topics. I'll read you some of the captions of her videos. One says repairing my relationship with race as a suburban black girl. Another, we depend on vulnerable women, but are so quick to drag them. Odd.
My feminism might be upsetting because to my bones, all I care about is defending women. How white beauty standards micromanage your body. And the last one here, the way we look at foot binding now is how people in the future will look at our BBLs and lip injections. It takes different forms, but it's a destruction of the female body all the same.
So we're talking about some baseline feminist content that is centered around her life and her experience, as the left would call it, lived experiences, which I just don't understand that. And maybe I can go on a tangent here for a second on that phrase. Aren't your experiences the ones you've lived? Why do we have to say lived experiences? You guys let me know in the comments down below.
Now, recently Paris has found herself in hot water because she has been accused of being a TERF. If you don't know what that means, let me translate again. Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist. It means you are a feminist who only cares about biological women, cis women as the left would call us. and that you don't care about the trans experience or trans oppression.
Now, why is Paris getting this accusation? I don't really know. I guess it's because she doesn't have a video playlist dedicated to the trans experience and trans oppression. Now, this accusation started
And follow me here because a lesbian content creator decided to make a video about Paris saying she hasn't really spoken about the trans experience and she hasn't really focused on trans oppression and therefore she must be a TERF. a trans exclusionary radical feminist. Now you imagine a video like this would just float in the ether, okay? Not in woke land.

Chapter 2: Who is Paris Mawendwa and what is her content about?
No, in woke land, these videos get picked up, they go viral and tons of people, I mean, thousands start making videos and think pieces about this young 21 year old black girl being a trans exclusionary radical feminist. I'm gonna show you some of those videos right now if you've even been able to follow this long into just the woke mindset. Here's video number one.
If you think trans women are trying to be the center of feminism, you're wrong. Trans women are doing us a favor by pointing to a very important principle of feminism, which is a movement is only as free as the woman who is most impacted.
and most oppressed by the most systems at once we're recognizing that this is a constellation of systems of oppression that some people do experience and some people don't let me put it this way if we build a feminist movement that addresses the needs of trans women right especially trans women of color especially black trans women here in america we are going to build a feminist movement
that is going to address how many systems of oppression, right? If we look at the woman who is impacted and most burdened by the most systems of oppression at the same time in the room, and we say, you know what?
she's good that means we're all gonna be good because all of the systems of oppression are going to be addressed because we're addressing them all at the same time right if it's going to be addressed for her that means it's gonna be addressed for me because I am also under like some of the systems of oppression that she is so if we free her
then our movement's gonna be as free as possible, right?
Okay guys, are you following? If not, I'll be your translator. Because Paris is focusing on her experience as a woman and largely the experience of other cis women, she is apparently leaving out
a neglected group and that is trans women now some would argue that trans women if you believe them to be women are the most neglected group of women in the space and we can only be as free as our least free counterparts or our least free group member which would be trans women does that make sense
So because her content has not had a focus on trans women and it's not really an issue that she talks about given that she's going into her own experience and the experiences of other biological women, then she's leaving out a neglected part of the group. Let's get into another video.

Chapter 3: What does it mean to be labeled a TERF in feminist discourse?
All this to get to the end point here. And it's that Paris has responded to these allegations in a tearful five minute and 15 second video because she's been berated so hard on the internet over random allegations from a random lesbian who wasn't even trans that she felt the need to respond.
And in writing, there are truly few things that I hate more than being misrepresented, especially when I feel like I have a really, really simple mission or very simple
goal to have my love and and care and deep adoration for women be um seen and understood and for my platform to be a safe space for us to talk about that and explore that um and so i've made this video so many times and that's that's what's making me like really emotional i've made this video a lot of times and i'm always upset like i just always wind up crying there's nothing more embarrassing than crying on the internet
So as much as I would not like to have to be like this during this response, it's just gonna have to be a thing. I'm not trying to get sympathy points. I literally just need to get this video out and this is just the state that it's happening in. Forgive me for reading my response.
Writing is the medium I have felt the most comfortable with and considering the gravity of the situation, I would like to ensure that I'm communicating my feelings clearly. First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone who has offered me constructive criticism in relation to this recent pushback.
My goal with my content has always been to make a safe space for women across the gender spectrum to reflect on and share their experiences in the hope that we can feel more empowered to lead lives that feel authentic and fulfilling. Anything that threatens the safety of the online spaces I have created is a matter I take extremely seriously. and want to be sure I correct.
There seems to be two primary concerns people have with my content as it relates to trans rights and transphobia. The first being my comment section. First off, some context. I have been making TikTok since I was 19 years old. Over the course of a year and a half, I've gained 300,000 followers. While I'm immensely grateful for this job, it has had some challenges.
Staying present with the feedback I receive online has been something that I have at times found to be overwhelming and intimidating. At certain points, I've had to significantly decrease the amount of time I spend reading comments and messages due to how the hate I would receive would impact me or how obsessive I would become with the response.
At some point, I found it easier to focus on consistent output than to sit with the response I was receiving. This failure to adequately medicate my comment section led to narratives that I do not align with and were actively harming members of my community to exist.

Chapter 4: How did the accusation against Paris Mawendwa escalate online?
You are in an online space as an online creator with online conversations and comment sections that you have no obligation to be reading or responding to in any way, shape or form. But we are letting this become our lives. We're letting everybody's energy who are random strangers on the seep into our brains, our souls, our spirits, whatever it is that you believe in at this point.
This is kind of... Insane. Okay. I think the lines are super blurred when it comes to internet versus reality And I can't think of a group of people where that is more shown than the typical leftist in our country right now and this story Exemplifies that not only do a large group of people feel entitled to this girl's opinion Which she shares
with you and is on the same wavelength as you, but they feel entitled to that vocalization in her content that she's creating in an online space. Like she just makes TikTok videos. It's weird.
Okay, let's continue watching and see what she has to say. I give my history not to lessen my responsibility, but to give context as to why I have not been active enough in correcting bigoted narratives and removing those that perpetuate them. I apologize to anyone who has been harmed or made to feel unsafe in the comment section due to the hostility that was present there.
Moving forward, I'll be more present with the comments being left and will be quick to remove or correct any bigoted or harmful narratives.
So now not only is she responsible for what she says online and the videos that she creates, she's responsible for policing the words, the verbiage, the opinions of those who are in her comment section who happen to either enjoy or not enjoy her videos. Are we okay?
I don't often think about this, but I don't know when I see TikTok content or internet content or I'm making content, I make the content, I watch the content and I go about my life. Is that not what everybody else is doing? What is everybody else doing? What is this young girl doing now that she's made a crying apology and she's posted that on the internet?
And mind you, she hasn't posted anything since. And it's been a little bit of a while now. What are other people doing when they make videos berating her or calling her a TERF? How much does this truly mean to these individuals? That's the thought that I'm struggling with at this moment. Let's keep watching.
The other concern relates to a lack of conversation on trans people and their specific plight. While broadly speaking, the focus of my content has been feminism, it has been more specifically modeled after my life experience. When I started posting TikToks in 2024, they were based on essays and poems I wrote about my life experience as a Black African lesbian.
