Vivian Wilson has responded to influencer Woah Vicky, who claimed her queerness was caused by “a demon”.
The exchange unfolded on Threads, where Woah Vicky, real name Victoria Waldrip, posted: “You not gay it’s a demon that’s inside of you.”
Wilson, who goes by the handle “vivllainous”, replied: “Vicky the demons are calling me.”
The comeback is the latest in a long line of witty responses Wilson has fired back at people making homophobic or transphobic comments about her.
When Elon Musk previously posted that his “son” had been “killed by the woke mind virus“, Wilson responded by lip-syncing the RuPaul’s Drag Race line: “I look pretty good for a dead b****.”
She later turned one of his anti-trans phrases into a merchandise line raising money for LGBTQ+ youth charity The Trevor Project.
Wilson came out as transgender at 16 and legally changed her name and gender in 2022, taking the surname of her mother, Justine Wilson. She has said she “no longer wishes to be related to” Musk “in any way, shape or form”, after years of him publicly deadnaming and misgendering her.
She has previously spoken about the importance of pushing back against the framing of queer people as something sinister.
“As queer people, we’re always screaming into this void that we’re not these demons you think we are,” she told Out earlier this year. “It’s exhausting, but it’s incredibly important to lift up the queer community. We can’t stop screaming.”
