Trans influencers Lilah Gibney and Kendall Raindrop open up about 'heartbreaking' experience of being kicked out of Team 10's house.
Two transgender women were kicked out of the Team 10 house — an incubator for social media influencers — after allegedly being told that they weren’t “real girls.”
“I’m not trying to be disrespectful, I’m just being real,” Blaine is heard saying in the video. “I was told that girls were coming.” Gibney, who just came out as transgender one year ago, went on to explain that as a trans woman, she lives with nearly constant worry about her safety. Hearing such degrading words come out of the mouth of someone in a home where she’s felt comfortable in the past was “shocking and insane to me.”
Gibney explains to Yahoo Lifestyle that she and Raindrop sat down to film an explainer video as soon as they got home after a friend encouraged them to share their story. Initially, Gibney explains that she questioned if she should be going against Team 10, a company that has millions of dollars and 19 million followers on social media. But, she ultimately felt that speaking out was important.
