Former “Bachelorette” contestant Josh Seiter claimed in a new interview that he is posing as a transgender woman online as part of a social experiment to “show how gullible and delusional the left is.”

Seiter originally came out as a transgender woman in May 2024 and was greeted with a slew of death threats that he claimed made him “fear for my safety all the time.”

Notably, he claimed during his apparently fake trip that he believed people “didn’t have to take anything to be a trans woman,” including hormones or elective surgeries.

The last five months of his life have apparently been a ruse to emphasize how “gullible and delusional the left is,” he said on the BlazeTV podcast “Prime Time with Alex Stein.”

“I think a lot of trans women get turned on by the thought of being women. Guess what? It doesn’t magically make them women,” Seiter said.

“We live in a free country, you can do whatever you want. But don’t make your fetish my truth. I don’t have to accept it.”

He said earlier this year, when he first embarked on his so-called social experiment, that he faced “intolerance, bigotry and gatekeepers from all sides,” including transgender people and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

He started the interview in full make-up and wearing a scarf with the colors of the transgender flag. He had one of the employees working on the show wipe off his makeup and then revealed his hoax on camera.

“I pretended to be a faker. I pretended to be a pretender,” Seiter said.

“We are all the same, we are all men who wear makeup and dresses and claim to be women, and I hope this can help some people understand that just because you wear dresses and makeup as a man does not make you magically makes a woman.”

The ‘Bachelorette’ alum’s alleged ploy went deep, as he set himself the task of convincing the country that he was transgender. He managed to fool both sides of the political spectrum and even reach conservative commentators like Megyn Kelly.

He claimed that from an early age he believed he was different, often dressing up in his mother’s clothes and experimenting with her makeup when she wasn’t looking. He previously discussed the difficulties of accepting himself while growing up in a strict conservative Christian household.

Seiter equated being transgender with chronic mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. Neither gender dysphoria nor gender non-conforming presentations such as being transgender are considered mental disorders, according to the American Psychiatric Association.

He also claimed that during the alleged social experiment, he noticed that the left has a need to “ingratiate themselves” by aligning themselves with what is most current on their side, even if they disagree with it.

Seiter previously came out as pansexual in January 2021, and later as bisexual in 2023, which he did not elaborate on during his interview with Stein.
