Summary of the article:

These days we can see that Michelle Blanc is the target of social networks. Why? Since Michelle Blanc was a male at birth, it is true to say that certain traits at her place have remained at her original sex as her voice for example. It is precisely his voice that pushed him to use the N-word. Indeed, six months ago, Michelle Blanc would have used a racist statement about a Bell Customer service representative, since he would have called him sir despite his serious voice. She would have removed the tweet shortly before launching her campaign. Since Michelle Blanc was a male at birth, it is true to say that some part of herself have not changed and stick up to her original sex as her voice for example. It is precisely her voice that pushed her to use the N-word. Indeed, six months ago, Michelle Blanc would have used a racist statement about a Bell representative since he would have called her sir because her voice seems masculine. She would have removed the tweet shortly before launching her campaign. Which brings us to the second part of this story. Michelle Blanc falsely accuses a blogger of pedophilia. Indeed, Xavier Camus, a blogger and philosophy professor at Collège Ahuntsic , was unfairly accused twice of having a certain attraction for minors by Michelle Blanc. Mr. Camus uses his website to denounce public figures, which happened to Michelle Blanc. At the same time, she must have expected it. When we are under the spotlight, it’s sure that we will receive some hateful comments. The best thing to do is not to respond or take it like a joke. But Miss Blanc didn’t take it like that. PQ leader Jean-Francois Lisée came to the rescue of Michelle Blanc, saying that she is only a politician at the beginning of her career and that she doesn’t know yet how to respond to insults on social media. Luckily, Michelle Blanc apologized not only on social networks, but also to Mr. Camus so he could remove his cease-and-desist letter.

Quotes

*"An employee insists on calling me 'Sir' because my voice is masculine. My response, your voice is African and I don't call you my little n--ger,"

                                                        -Michelle Blanc

* “Camus is a cheese that stinks of its dubious amalgams and its unhealthy fixation on me. And you are just as dubious to resume his bullshit. Do you like 15-year-old girls too? that's the kind of bullshit that's also told about it”

                                              -Michelle Blanc
