I\u2019m finally Korean. I\u2019ve transitioned,\u201d London said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SmashingUrFort\/status\/1409638904009953287?s=20\">video<\/a> posted Monday to Twitter. \u201cI identify as Korean \u2014 that\u2019s just my culture, that\u2019s my home country, that\u2019s exactly how I look now,\u201d he added.&nbsp; London also claimed he\u2019s been \u201ctrapped in the wrong body for eight years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps anticipating blowback from the Left, London, who now prefers to go by \u201cJimin,\u201d said, \u201cI support all the LGBTQI+K\/J community and believe everyone should be able to be who they want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=fccOsafAXgE&#038;feature=oembed\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=fccOsafAXgE&amp;feature=oembed<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>In an extensive interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-9713395\/British-influencer-Oli-London-reveals-identifies-non-binary-Korean.html\">The Daily Mail<\/a>, the 31-year-old expressed how unsupported he feels by the LGBT community. \u201cIt is sad during Pride Month, a month that celebrates diversity, equality and love,\u201d he said, \u201cthat WOKE people would use my com300,ing out and sharing my non-binary Korean identify, something that took me many years to understand and accept and took me enormous courage to share with the world \u2013 and use it as a platform to bully, degrade and dehumanise me and the LGBT community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>London went on:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"27\">\n<p><em>\u201cWhile I recognise that a lot of people don\u2019t understand how I identify, and may find it unusual\u2014being Korean and feeling Korean is part of who I am and how I feel. And I will never allow a single woke person, bully or troll to take that away from me.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I have gone through extreme lifestyle changes to become who I am today and have lived in Korea, I eat Korean food everyday, use Korean skincare, have plastic surgery to look Korean and I speak the Korean language\u2014all of this shapes me as a person and my identify as a non-binary Korean person.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>These same woke people who preach about tolerance are the same people who send me death threats everyday, make up false rumours and threaten me or tell me to take my life.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Despite all this and the difficulties I endure at the hands of these radical woke trolls, I will always celebrate who I am and identify as Korean and embrace the Korean culture. And I will always have a deep and profound respect for Korean culture and the Korean people, who I love and adore with all my heart.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>London\u2019s application of transgender ideology enraged a woke mob on Twitter who attacked him for cultural appropriation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but you can\u2019t just choose to be Korean. It\u2019s a nationality and ethnicity,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Naughtyy_Wolfe\/status\/1406985859606450178?s=20\">tweeted<\/a> one trans-identifying account. \u201cYou have to be born Korean! Just because you like the culture, doesn\u2019t mean you can take it and become it. There is a way to appreciate a different culture, this is not it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a Korean nonbinary person, I haven\u2019t really talked about the Oli London thing. But, the fact that they are acting like it\u2019s genuine and that it\u2019s part of a \u2018journey\u2019 due to a \u2018identity issues\u2019 really irks me. It\u2019s a mockery of trans people, it\u2019s cultural appropriation,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/harbingerslut\/status\/1409594463803084803?s=20\">posted<\/a> another.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, one Korean user <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yerisme_\/status\/1406866523352829958?s=20\">replied<\/a> that while he celebrates London\u2019s new gender identity, it\u2019s wrong for him to claim a new ethnic identity: \u201cKorean isn\u2019t a pronoun, nor is it a persona you decide to suddenly take on because of kpop hype. I\u2019m glad you identify as non-binary and I applaud you for being transparent about that, but I can\u2019t commend you for taking a whole ethnicity and treating it like a persona.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>London <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OliLondonTV\/status\/1409481123894284288?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1409481123894284288%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthefederalist.com%2F2021%2F06%2F28%2Fleftist-logic-you-can-have-surgery-to-change-your-sex-but-not-your-race%2F\">responded<\/a> to this criticism with a hard-to-refute argument based on the LGBTQ lobby\u2019s logic: &nbsp;\u201cBeing Transexual is the same as being TRANSRACIAL because you are born in the wrong body.\u201d He also drew on classic post-modern ethics on sexuality and gender to defend his new Korean identity, saying in another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Bl3Xulg836g\">video<\/a>, \u201cThis is my choice, my decision.
