Transgender rights activist and influencer Rose Montoya is under fire after going topless at the White House Saturday during President Joe Biden’s Pride Month 2023 festivities.
Montoya, a biological male who identifies as a woman, is an Idaho native and child of a father who was a pastor and a mother who was a Christian missionary.

Building a platform through modeling, content creation, and activism, Montoya has garnered over 100,000 followers on Instagram and was one of the many LGBT influencers who visited the White House Saturday.
Montoya captured the whole day on film and posted it on social media.
“I had the honor of attending White House Pride, the largest one in history where the pride flag flew for the first time,” Montoya captioned the post. “This is trans joy. We’re here at the white house unapologetically trans, queer, and brown.”
The activist poses for photos with other transgender content creators, gets showered in affirmations by the president and first lady Jill Biden, and even confuses the commander in chief by trying to take a video with him.
“Happy Pride Month! Happy Pride Year! Happy Pride Life!” Biden says in the video before calling influencers like Montoya some of the “bravest and most inspiring people” he has ever known.
The video then takes a wild turn when Montoya and several other transgender activists go topless on the front lawn of the White House.
Critics were quick to call out the action on Twitter.
“Trans TikTok activist Rose Montoya shakes fake breasts outside the White House after being personally invited to attend Biden’s White House pride party,” one user tweeted.
“Whackadoo topless trans meets senile brainless politician at WH,” another user commented.

“Did you ever think you’d see the day when the White House would more closely resemble a trans version of the Playboy Mansion rather than an establishment of We The People?” one user asked.
In the wake of the criticism, Montoya said “going topless” in Washington, D.C., is legal and critiquing the action only affirms Montoya’s identity as a woman.
