Despite declining masculinity when she changed her gender to become a woman, A trans influencer slammed society, boldly suggesting that men today are too sensitive and that they need to stop expecting the “princess treatment.”
Arizona’s Ali C. Lopez is no stranger to controversy. As a proud, plus-size transgender woman and social media influencer, she fearlessly shared her journey, captivating audiences with her raw honesty and bold perspective.
Lopez’ popularity was launched after an appearance on the Whatever podcast, where topics like feminism, gender roles and traditional values are fiercely debated.
Her candid responses during the podcast, particularly when asked to rate her attractiveness, sparked online attention.
Lopez famously declared herself “a fat f***ing ten,” a statement that led to the creation of the now-viral meme “Gorlock the Destroyer.”
Though the moniker initially stung, Lopez admits she’s trying to embrace it but still finds the Gorlock label unsettling.
“If I’m 100% honest, there are days where it still bothers me that I get called that…There was even a time I was like, ‘should I just even embrace [‘Gorlock the Destroyer’] at this point?’ I don’t even care,” Lopez told Fox News Digital.
But, the 25-year-old is enjoying the attention. “I feel like [it’s]… a little bit of an out-of-body experience, or you’re just, like, there’s, ‘No way that’s me.’ It’s a crazy feeling. And honestly, I’m still fairly new to [being viral],” she said about her online fame. “There’s good, bad, exciting, nervous. It’s just all over the place.”
‘Princess treatment’
The hype surrounding Lopez doesn’t stop at her Gorlock identity, and her 502,000 TikTok followers can’t get enough of her content, many posts that collect millions of likes.
From beauty tutorials and lifestyle tips to heartfelt videos on her transition, Lopez – who calls herself a “certified baddie” – offers a unique blend of relatability and inspiration. However, it’s her candid discussions about dating and relationships that have sparked the most heated debates.
The transgender woman has been vocal about her challenges and observations when it comes to dating, faulting the decline in traditional masculinity, which she says impacts modern relationships.
“It’s getting out of control,” Lopez told Fox News, explaining she wants to find a man who can handle tasks that in the past were labelled as traditionally masculine.
But that’s not easy to find these days, according to Lopez.
“At least for me, you better be able to do more than what my dad can do. Because if I have to call my dad to do something for me and not you. Why are you here?” Lopez continued, “I feel like a lot of [men] need to start being [men]. When it comes to the male world…men nowadays are expecting princess treatment.”

She adds, “I just see a lot of men expecting women in the relationship…to go above and beyond and like them to almost do nothing…I also love when there is a little bit of a gender role in a relationship. I’m not a big fan of toxic masculinity [but] I like when there’s a little bit of that, like ‘I’m the man and I’m going to take charge.’”
What people are saying
Lopez’s views on the world were met with some praise and a lot of hostility.
One netizen writes, “Well – I don’t quite know where to start – why would anyone be influenced by anything coming from this person – maybe she should indulge in some inner reflection about dating issues.”
A second, associating her physique to Humpty Dumpty, shares, “…and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men…”

In the comments section of a TikTok clip that has 9.8 million views, one troll references Jabba the Hutt from the Star Wars franchise: “Jabba will not make it past 40 with that lifestyle,” the troll writes. A second adds, “The confidence is amazing. Jabba I’m proud of you.”
Meanwhile, others jumped in and defended the plus-sized trans influencer.
“Girl, you look great! Don’t let these ppl bring you down!!!” writes one, while a second shares, “I’m sorry people are so mean you’re so pretty.”
Ali C. Lopez is more than just a social media influencer – she’s a trailblazer challenging societal norms and her story is a reminder of the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself, especially in a world that often resists change.
