In a candid interview with Fox News Digital, Ali C. Lopez, a transgender influencer who unexpectedly became an internet meme, is raising concerns about society’s growing sensitivity and what she perceives as a decline in masculinity.

Reflecting on her sudden fame as an internet meme, Lopez describes the experience as surreal and emotionally charged. She emphasizes the range of emotions, from excitement to nervousness, that accompanied her newfound viral status.

Initially an obscure influencer, Lopez’s image became a meme after her appearance on the podcast “Whatever,” a platform that delves into debates around feminism, traditional values, and gender roles. Discussing the challenges of modern dating, Lopez expresses worries about the diminishing presence of masculinity in society.

Lopez emphasizes the difficulty of finding individuals capable of handling traditionally masculine tasks, such as fixing a flat tire, which she values in a partner. She challenges men to embrace their traditional roles, stating, “I feel like a lot of [men] need to start being [men].”

The transgender influencer believes that some men expect a princess treatment in relationships, advocating for a more balanced dynamic. She encourages men to contribute equally, both emotionally and financially, in relationships.
