A Celebration of Pride and Diversity. Her shade reigns supreme, and her eyebrows are so flawless they could very well give you an identity crisis. (In, like, an inspire-you-to-kick-your-own-ass-into-being-better sort of way.)
Kaylah’s YouTube channel is a haven for humans who are interested in weight loss without being talked down to or negatively motivated. Over the course of 14 months, Kaylah lost 100 pounds, and has been vlogging about the food she eats, her mental health, and products that she likes (and dislikes). In a recent interview with Ali, she explained:
Being snarky as fuck and a queer feminist killjoy, there are many things that I don’t buy into. Like, at all! I denounce detox teas, shakes, waist trainers. All the things that are getting the big views and the big bucks! I’ve gotten a good amount of negativity surrounding the funniest thing: STRETCH MARKS! Getting rid of stretch marks is the type of video you do if you talk about wellness or weight loss, but I don’t. I’m asked about it alllll the time! In an update about my body progress I mentioned that I didn’t mind having stretch marks and, in fact, they are sexy and part of me and they aren’t going anywhere. This made people angry for some reason and I decided to delete a ton of the comments. I don’t want anyone watching my videos to think that their bodies were gross and then to see me getting shamed about that! Also, everyone wants to know if boys think I’m cuter now… blah blah blah. I like giving a different perspective than what everyone is used to. I’m the anti-wellness guru.
Kaylah is bisexual.

69. Kaitlyn Alexander / realisticallysaying / Couple-ish / Carmilla (actor) – 36k subscribers
Kaitlyn is a gender neutral/nonbinary, gay, Canadian awkward taco. They post weekly vlogs, bad advice, and Gin-terviews — including, most popularly, Elise Bauman of Carmilla fame. Kaitlyn, of course, played LaFontaine in the webseries, and has credited the character with giving them the confidence to be unabashedly strange. Most recently, they’ve been creating, co-writing and starring in Couple-ish, which Karly summarized:
Kaitlyn plays Dee who, with sister Amy’s help, finds a new roommate, Rachel. Rachel is British and cute, Dee is a snarky grump, and Amy is the sweet, helpful lady who keeps them together. That is until they find out that Rachel listed Dee as her common law partner so she could renew her visa and just expected Dee not to notice. For fans and followers of Kaitlyn, they already know that Dee and Rachel will pretend to be a couple and start a Couples YouTube channel, which apparently is a thing that fools immigration departments. Amy will start to fall for Rachel; and Dee, who is gender nonbinary, will fall for a boy named Edmond. Shenans! But already this series is intriguing for the snarky dialogue and actors we already love and ones we just met.
On Kaitlyn’s personal channel, you can find hilarious songs, emotional slam poetry, and extreme silliness. If nothing else, you should join Kaitlyn’s 36k other subscribers to learn how to eat Nutella sexy-like.
