Trans influencer filming in the women's room at Disney World is everything that's wrong with this selfish movement
If you're not perpetually online, perhaps you've never heard of trans influencer Lilly 'Tino' Contino. Lucky you. Unfortunately, if you are a waiter just trying to do your job or a woman in a Disney World restroom just trying to do your business, look out. Consider this your creep alert. Since 2022, Contino's 400,000 TikTok followers have witnessed his journey from hirsute man to linebacker dressed as a '50s pin-up gal — all while terrorizing unsuspecting wait staff for misgendering. 7 Trans influencer Lilly 'Tino' Contino posted a Tiktok series rating women's bathrooms at Disney. @ lillytino_/TikTok Yes, there are curls, kewpie lips, facial feminization surgery (also chronicled) and crop tops. But when Contino speaks, the influencer's voice is lower than his regard for the hospitality workers tortured for his content. But Contino, who claims to be a 'trans girl on a mission,' has an even more disturbing and narcissistic social media project: lurking in the women's bathrooms at Disney theme parks, snapping mirror selfies and rating the experience depending on if he was misgendered or complimented on his outfit. Essentially, did the women affirm his identity? 7 Contino complained about being misgendered in the bathroom of a Disney restaurant. @ lillytino_/TikTok Meanwhile, many of the photos show women in the background, sometimes with emoji over their faces. One Tiktok post starts with an image of Contino in Minnie Mouse ears and a hair bow meant for a 5-year-old girl, taking a selfie that shows three women in the background. The caption: 'Ranking every women's bathroom at Disney World.' The song on the post, 'When You Wish Upon A Star,' is the perfect encapsulation of this delusion that a dude can simply bibbidi-bobbidi-boo into a lady. 7 Lilly Contino visited Disney and posted a series on rating his experience in the women's bathrooms. AP It's a Venn diagram of the worst the internet has to offer: infantilized Disney adults and performative trans content rolled into one. 'Got misgendered right before this pic so the vibe was off,' Contino wrote on one image. Perhaps being a man carrying a giant selfie stick in the ladies' room killed the vibe. Just a wild guess. In another Disney video, Contino delivers a preamble about using women's rooms in Florida as a trans person. Three minutes later, the influencer gives blow-by-blow commentary including excruciatingly unnecessary detail about how he 'peed standing up.' In another photo with a woman visible in the background, Contino's wearing Minnie Mouse ears decorated with the trans flag and flashing a peace sign. 'Got complimented on my fit and there was no line for a stall,' reads the caption. 7 Lilly Contino posted this video on Tiktok accusing the server of misgendering. Lilly Contino/ Instagram Another says: 'had a friend with me so I felt safe.' The inverted victimhood is this influencer's entire shtick. Contino is the one who is unsafe, you see — even while poking others, not for his security or freedom, but for content. Clicks. It's all one big provocation. Like Dylan Mulvaney, Contino's online persona is about being trans. It's also so trolling, so hyperbolic that, for a while, I simply assumed the idea was to paint the trans community in the most loathsome light possible. But it seems that Contino is that awful. 7 Contino chronicled his facial feminization surgery on Tiktok. Lilly Contino/ Instagram There's also an OnlyFans account — for only $8.99, Contino promises to shows 'everything' — with an eggplant emoji in the bio. More proof that this dude does not belong in a women's bathroom. While the demand for affirmation from complete strangers is bizarre, Contino's need to be affirmed by other women in the loo is dangerous. But the influencer isn't alone in bathroom activism. There are also videos of trans activists having dance parties and sit-ins in ladies' rooms to protest Rep. Nancy Mace's proposed policy that Rep. Sarah McBride, who is the first openly trans person in Congress, use the men's room. 7 Another photo in Contino's review of the women's toilets in Disney shows women in the background. @ lillytino_/TikTok It's as if they think toilet stalls are the next Greensboro lunch counters. But they are not. It's awfully bizarre to fetishize a toilet and access to a place where women simply want privacy. We want to get in and out. We do not want some creep in Minnie ears taking photos and posting them for the masses like it's an act of public service. But it's quite the opposite: a disservice to other trans people. 7 Trans influencer Lilly 'Tino' Contino regularly berates restaurant workers for misgendering — and posted this side-by-side comparison showing his former self. Lilly Contino/ Instagram This is why women don't want to simply open their spaces, no questions asked, for any Tom, Dick or Harry claiming to be Lilly, Dylan or Sally. And why would Disney, which has loads of rules and regulations regarding inappropriate behavior and wardrobe, allow this invasion? Contino can choose how he wants to live — posting 'spicy things' on OnlyFans and hassling waiters — but that cannot include using private women's spaces as the set for his perverted reality show.
