Despite declining masculinity when she changed her gender to become a woman, A trans influencer slammed society, boldly suggesting that men today are too sensitive and that they need to stop expecting the \u201cprincess treatment.\u201d\n

Arizona\u2019s Ali C. Lopez is no stranger to controversy. As a proud, plus-size transgender woman and social media influencer, she fearlessly shared her journey, captivating audiences with her raw honesty and bold perspective\n

Lopez\u2019 popularity was launched after an appearance on the Whatever podcast, where topics like feminism, gender roles and traditional values are fiercely debated.\n

Her candid responses during the podcast, particularly when asked to rate her attractiveness, sparked online attention.\n

Lopez famously declared herself \u201ca fat f***ing ten,\u201d a statement that led to the creation of the now-viral meme \u201cGorlock the Destroyer.\u201d\n

Though the moniker initially stung, Lopez admits she\u2019s trying to embrace it but still finds the Gorlock label unsettling.\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m 100% honest, there are days where it still bothers me that I get called that\u2026There was even a time I was like, \u2018should I just even embrace [\u2018Gorlock the Destroyer\u2019] at this point?\u2019 I don\u2019t even care,\u201d Lopez told Fox News Digital.\n
But, the 25-year-old is enjoying the attention. \u201cI feel like [it\u2019s]\u2026 a little bit of an out-of-body experience, or you\u2019re just, like, there\u2019s, \u2018No way that\u2019s me.\u2019 It\u2019s a crazy feeling. And honestly, I\u2019m still fairly new to [being viral],\u201d she said about her online fame. \u201cThere\u2019s good, bad, exciting, nervous. It\u2019s just all over the place.\u201d\n
\u2018Princess treatment\u2019\n
The hype surrounding Lopez doesn\u2019t stop at her Gorlock identity, and her 502,000 TikTok followers can\u2019t get enough of her content, many posts that collect millions of likes.\n
From beauty tutorials and lifestyle tips to heartfelt videos on her transition, Lopez \u2013 who calls herself a \u201ccertified baddie\u201d \u2013 offers a unique blend of relatability and inspiration. However, it\u2019s her candid discussions about dating and relationships that have sparked the most heated debates.\n
The transgender woman has been vocal about her challenges and observations when it comes to dating, faulting the decline in traditional masculinity, which she says impacts modern relationships.\n
\u201cIt\u2019s getting out of control,\u201d Lopez told Fox News, explaining she wants to find a man who can handle tasks that in the past were labelled as traditionally masculine.\n
But that\u2019s not easy to find these days, according to Lopez.\n
\u201cAt least for me, you better be able to do more than what my dad can do. Because if I have to call my dad to do something for me and not you. Why are you here?\u201d\u00a0Lopez continued, \u201cI feel like a lot of [men] need to start being [men]. When it comes to the male world\u2026men nowadays are expecting princess treatment.\u201d\n
She adds, \u201cI just see a lot of men expecting women in the relationship\u2026to go above and beyond and like them to almost do nothing\u2026I also love when there is a little bit of a gender role in a relationship. I\u2019m not a big fan of toxic masculinity [but] I like when there\u2019s a little bit of that, like \u2018I\u2019m the man and I\u2019m going to take charge.\u2019\u201d\n

What people are saying\n
Lopez\u2019s views on the world were met with some praise and a lot of hostility.\n
One netizen writes, \u201cWell \u2013 I don\u2019t quite know where to start \u2013 why would anyone be influenced by anything coming from this person \u2013 maybe she should indulge in some inner reflection about dating issues.\u201d\n
A second, associating her physique to Humpty Dumpty, shares, \u201c\u2026and all the king\u2019s horses and all the king\u2019s men\u2026\u201d\n
In the comments section of a TikTok clip that has 9.8 million views, one troll references Jabba the Hutt from the\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0franchise: \u201cJabba will not make it past 40 with that lifestyle,\u201d the troll writes. A second adds, \u201cThe confidence is amazing. Jabba I\u2019m proud of you.\u201d\n
Meanwhile, others jumped in and defended the plus-sized trans influencer.\n
\u201cGirl, you look great! Don\u2019t let these ppl bring you down!!!\u201d writes one, while a second shares, \u201cI\u2019m sorry people are so mean you\u2019re so pretty.\u201d\n
