There's a War Brewing Between Trans Actor Ts Madison & Comedian Jess Hilarious

Emell Adolphus READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Trans activist and actor Ts Madison has been feuding with fellow actor and comedian Jess Hilarious online, and it is getting very ugly between the two public figures.

As reported by Rolling Stone, it all started when Jess posted an Instagram responding to a video by trans TikTok creator Blessing Rose in which she claimed that cisgendered women "don't own womanhood or periods." Jess took issue with the comment and posted a flaming retort.

"Who the fuck is gonna stand up for us?" Jess asked in the since-deleted video. "And us, I mean real women, biological women. When does the delusion stop? What is the difference between [a trans person] and someone who has been diagnosed to be mentally insane? The only difference is you don't have a straitjacket on."

Catching wind of Jess's comments, Madison issued her own retort attempting to explain why Jess and other women who share her views might be upset.

"There are sooooo many 'real' women that get mistaken for being 'transgender' women and that's where a lot of the anger comes from," Madison wrote. "I do hope they take a good look at how transphobia affects ALL women."

Jess then promptly responded to Madison in an Instagram post warning her, "You da last one that needs to be fucking with me... Keep that shit over there."

Thus a war has begun with some siding with Jess's comments and others siding with Madison.

Who wins in the end? No one.

Addressing transphobia, Madison urged, "I would hope that the Black community would actually sit down and have a willing openness to learn." She added, "I really wish that we would look at it through the lens of what we had to go through with white supremacy and racism and say, 'Oh my God, I am doing some of the same things to a marginalized group of people.' Transphobia affects all women, cis women and trans women. And we have to put an end to it."
