One influencer is getting candid about her life offline.

TikToker Averii, who goes by Slayverii on the platform, gave some insight to her followers about what it’s like working at Hooters as a transgender woman.

“Being a trans girl working at Hooters is literally the most bizarre thing in the world,” Averii said in an Oct. 10 TikTok. “Like, the dichotomy of infiltrating the space of the straight, white male gaze as a trans woman is just so insane.”

As she explained, she’s even “had customers straight up say the most transphobic rhetoric to me, not knowing that I was trans, and I’m just like, ‘OK, period.'”

Averii noted that she often finds herself at a loss for words during these interactions, especially because it shows her just “how open people are with their prejudices,” adding that it feels “so insane.”

“I don’t know,” she said, “I’ll never get used to it, ever, ever.”

After sharing her video, Averii was immediately flooded with support in the comments.

“May you always be protected,” one user wrote. “Thank you for your service.”

Another added, “Firstly—girl you’re STUNNING. Secondly—that really cannot be easy to deal with everyday. I really hope you have safe spaces to vent.”

The experience of living as a trans woman is something that Averii—who released her debut single “Republican” on Sept. 27—has spoken very openly about, especially when it comes to the subject of “passing,” or being perceived as the gender a person identifies as.

“There are so many trans women out there who think passing is the ultimate goal,” she said in Oct. 8 TikTok, “and everything will just be easier once they start passing.”

But from her experience, Averii found that it actually got “10 times harder” once she began to pass.

“You will be dealing with a lot more heartbreak, a lot more disillusionment, a lot more transphobia,” she continued. “When these specific people find out that you are trans, they will be 10 times more enraged, because previously they thought you fit their standard of beauty.”

Still, she hopes that those looking to transition will continue focusing on their goals, adding, “Keep being you, period.”
