Sage is annoying and is guilt tripping Tiffany.

And I think Tiffany should’ve brought on an older more seasoned transwoman who’s had more experience not a 20 year old baby. Tiffany made a mistake so you don’t have to keep saying she harmed anyone... she offended people yes but she didn’t harm and the fact she’s willing to admit it and take responsibility doesn’t mean keep beating her over the head with it... just explain what the offensive action was, how she can rectify the situation, and give her kudos for having this conversation in the first place. Don't just keep bashing her over the head with it... 🙄 Tiffany didn’t intentionally do it and she’s obviously eager to learn and educate herself. It doesn’t excuse anything but it does explain a lot and now she knows and can apologize and materialize her apology for the future

An inner cry 😢

Speaking as a transgender women, Sage get over it! You’re reaching for something that’s not there! Nor is it that deep! Next..🙄

Sage seems bitter still as in won’t let go of a grudge. She seems to feel good about making Tiffany feel even shittier than she already feels. Like back off Sage. She gets it. No need to keep pressing in the wound.

And Sage is kinda wrong and keeps trying to guilt trip Tiffany..... as a transwoman you kinda have to educate people on these things otherwise they won’t know.... being transgender isn’t a natural born gender so how would cispeople who aren’t familiar with the trans life KNOW to begin with? She said things that weren’t politically correct, and she perpetuated a culture that makes fun of transpeople in general... HOWEVER, I don’t believe she did that knowingly or was even aware of how it would affect any community.... Clearly there is a distinction between transwomen and cis women, and Tiffany simply didn’t know how to phrase it when she tried to apologize the first time. But as I said it’s quite apparent she’s being a woman about her shit, accepting full responsibility, and is ready, willing and able to accept responsibility, learn & grow and move forward not sit and be riddled with guilt over one mistake. She’s said A LOT of offensive things throughout her career... that’s part of the entertainment she provides... this was just one thing she didn’t know would affect an entire community and demographic of people. Calm down no one is going to completely cancel Tiffany out or end her career over this

[@robsmith5914]

Agreed.

[@nasscain1998]

She is so unserious😭😭

[@emblembalm4485]

Tiffany didn't do any harm. The transgendered woman was being excessive, just a lot of self-pity. She made Tiffany the target of her past traumas.

"I'm not here to accept your apology," bitter asf 😤 😒 Forgive and forget, you don't have to be buddies. One thing I hate about this community is that they're so okay with being the victim. People are going to be less likely to apologize if you're not going to accept their genuine apology. Making someone feel like shit isn't going to solve the problem. If anything, this is why things aren't changing

Tiff, you give my weak ass life, luv u girls xx

[@lindseyjohnson1758]

lol, welcome to womanhood!!! Having been assaulted many times it is infuriating that you think this is a trans issue i.e. feeling unsafe walking alone, people saying things about the way you look. I am furious that you think this is a trans problem.

[@briannabombshell1921]

New York just needs to learn how to choose her words more carefully ... I’m really surprised she doesn’t know these things considering what an icon she is in the lgbt community and she’s said in other interviews how that community always has her back.... one would think she’d know these things. I guess not... At least she put her ego to the side and really attempted to listen and learn. She did nothing THAT bad to just cancel her out completely but her choice of words were a bit offensive. She didn’t have to refer to Sage as a “young queer” she could’ve just said “she’s a transwoman” and people will get it. 🙄
