In honor of Pride month, I joined the @ZAAKAHNY podcast to discuss my experience as a conversion therapy survivor, as well as a larger conversation about being from a yeshivish background. To listen, head to the link in the tweet below. My story starts at about 25 minutes in.

There's been a popular Instagram/TikTok account portraying a Haredi gay jew. He never denies that it's his lived experience and appears to be living life as a proud LGBTQ Haredi person. Well, it's fake.

When I was a Haredi gay kid, I couldn't just take off my peyos and my black hat. It was a constant struggle and I was reckoning with it 24/7. I'm extremely upset that he is falsely portraying an experience without the nuance of living it.

I was bullied for being gay in 8th grade and I don't recall that you participated. What happened between then and now that you would have such a hateful person on your show?

It's extremely not ok to co-opt the identity of people who have lived and struggled without making it clear that it's an act. He claims to be a voice for others when all he's doing is putting on an outfit, filming a video, then taking it off.

I was able to add my comments. Thank you @thislouis for reaching out. I hope it makes clear why it's so damaging to present a one-sided view of an experience that has been a struggle for many. If you want to learn more about a community, make sure your source is accurate.

There's been an article covering the fake Haredi TikTok person that I exposed. Click the link below. I hope to add my comments soon, as I didn't initially receive the dm that the reporter sent me.

Latest update: He seems to have acknowledged what he did. However, he is not apologizing or offering any valid reason for his misrepresentation. Sure, create a character as a social experiment. But don't capitalize on the real experiences of others. I don't consider this amends.

Update: Several people have reached out to him. He's blocked them, been dismissive, and made no attempt to own up to his fakery. This is extremely upsetting.
