BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate is a controversial influencer and prominent figure in pop culture. Tate has faced criticism after making a statement about his sexual preferences. In a resurfaced clip, Tate jokingly expressed his preference for having sexual relations with a transwoman rather than a women. Known for his teachings on masculinity and methods of manipulating women, Tate's comment provoked accusations of him being homosexual.

While the clip in question appeared to be lighthearted banter, it ignited a discussion about his true sexual orientation, as critics argued that his preference for transwomen suggested a deviation from his stated heterosexual identity. Nevertheless, differing opinions exist regarding how serious he was when he made the remark, leaving room for interpretation and debate among those who follow him on social media.

'Even if she is got the d**k...'

A video clip shared by @HaleyKennington captioned, "Tate is actually trying to convince heterosexual men to choose trans c**k over sleeping with a bio-female. Read that again. Men, please explain to me why this is someone you idolize, " captured Tate as he posed a thought-provoking question on social media. In the video, Tate presented a hypothetical scenario, asking viewers whether they would choose to have sex with a trans woman, assigned a rating of ten, or with a woman, assigned a rating of one. According to Tate, the overwhelming majority of respondents selected the option of being intimate with the woman.

Tate said, "Listen, I recently posted a question on Twitter asking, 'would you rather have sex with a transexual, which is a legitimate 10, or woman, which is a legitimate one?' And everyone is sittin' there clicking woman, woman, woman 'cuz they think they're gonna be gay if they do anything else, but they're not actually thinking about the question. I am so smart, I operate on so many levels higher than the average man."

He then went on to add, "When I say a one and a ten, I mean Megan Fox with a d**k – that's the tranny. Or Hulk Hogan with a p***y – that's the girl. This is the question I'm asking. Megan Fox or Hulk Hogan?"

Tate further states in the video, "Are you going to f**k Hulk Hogan? Okay if he is got a p***y, but he is a big dude, hairy, six foot five. That sounds pretty gay to me. Whereas Megan Fox, even if she is got the d**k, it’s still Megan Fox. You can put a hand around her neck and mess her up. You ain’t messing up Hulk Hogan, he will mess you up.”

'Dude is gay but can't face it'

Following @HaleyKennington's tweet, a wave of speculation emerged as social media users wondered about Tate's sexual orientation, raising doubts about his proclaimed heterosexuality. Many wondered whether the controversial influencer, known for his misogynistic views, might be gay. The discussion gained momentum as individuals deliberated on the possibility of incongruence between Tate's public persona and his true sexual preferences.

One user wrote, "So this basically boils down to the fact that this dude is gay but can't face it." Another user wrote, "Fellas, is it gay to have sex with a man? 🤔." One user commented, "So Tate is gay if the make up and boob job is good enough. Maybe it's why he's surrounded by fawning young men. I always find him a bit overly stereotypically masculine. He seems to like homoerotica. He's in prison so we all no [know] what happens there." One user wrote, "He came out a bisexual. Good for him. Nothing wrong with that."
