Nikita Dragun sends scathing response to Taylor Caniff over resurfaced transphobic comments YouTube: The Hollywood Fix, Taylor CaniffYouTuber and beauty guru Nikita Dragun has once again spoken out against influencer Taylor Caniff after his previous transphobic comments were brought to light. On June 16, a few video clips of Taylor Caniff went viral on Twitter, which showed the influencer making transphobic remarks against transgender YouTuber Nikita Dragun and even claiming he\u2019d outed her to several security guards at a venue they had both attended. Dragun shared the videos in an emotional Instagram post, where she reminded viewers that both her life and livelihood are \u201cconstantly threatened\u201d as a transgender person and admitted she is \u201cterrified\u201d of \u201cthings like this\u201d happening to her. She and Caniff hashed it out on Twitter, with Caniff initially claiming it was all a joke that had been leaked by some friends of his, but later threatened to \u201cleak some real info\u201d in a now-deleted tweet. View this post on Instagram Two weeks later, Dragun has spoken out on the situation once again after being approached by paparazzi from The Hollywood Fix \u2014 and she minced no words with her response to the matter. In the interview, Dragun confirmed that Caniff had reached out to speak to her, but did not elaborate on the conversation they\u2019d shared. \u201cAll I\u2019ll say is, trans women are women, trans men are men, and I feel like if anyone else has a problem with it, they can suck my d**k,\u201d Dragun said. \u201cI\u2019ve moved past it,\u201d she continued. \u201cI feel like it\u2019s just so hard because it can turn so dangerous so fast. A little heckler, one person having a problem, can turn into a trans person losing their life.\u201d Nikita\u2019s statement comes at the tail end of Pride Month, providing a poignant look at the work still yet to be done with regards to LGBTQIA+ discrimination and acceptance in wake of Caniff\u2019s transphobic vitriol. Caniff has not spoken out about the situation since his response video a week ago, where he re-iterated he\u2019d only meant to share the clip with friends and called the internet \u201csofter than a Tempur-Pedic mattress.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
