WHEN DAVID and India connected on Facebook, the attraction was instant. India told Love Don't Judge, "I saw his profile and I was instantly in love." India transitioned three years ago and was open with David from the start. David admitted, "It was a little different for me because it was the first time for me to date someone that is trans. But I just said you know what, I might just give it a try and see what happens - we gave it a shot and never looked back." The couple often share their love online, where they are subjected to a huge amount of judgement. "People say the meanest things to us. Trolls say we're the ugliest couple on the internet." In this episode of Love Don't Judge, we'll be hearing how the pair deal with the scrutiny that they face both on and offline.

Anywhere we go, people stare at us. I'm India. This is my partner, David

The trolls say that we the ugliest couple on the internet, but we don't care
0:27
We met on Facebook dating. I saw his profile and I was instantly in love, like hooked on looks
0:35
As soon as she messaged back, I looked at all her pictures and I saw her likes, dislikes
0:39
And I was like, OK. So I sent her a message. I said, so what are you looking for
0:44
She's like, I'm looking for something serious. I'd like me too. We met September 21st and I finally went to go see him in February, like February 2nd
0:53
And I never left his side. I was with him every day, every since then
0:57
Every day. I was obsessed. Like, that's my baby. My husband do my hair all the time
1:05
He don't mind doing my hair. No, I do not. He color my hair. He cut the tracks out and put extra tracks in my hair
1:12
He really, like, lay my hair down. Does it all. He does it all
1:16
And right after he do my hair, he cook for us. I knew a little bit about styling women's hair because my big mama, she always did sew-ins
1:25
but India taught me how to do the wigs and to get it to where it blends in with the skin
1:30
so that when you look at it you don't see the track or anything like that
1:34
we get so much backlash go ahead you start baby there's no amount of backlash we get
1:40
I mean everything everything people say some of the meanest things to us but you know we have
1:46
tough skin alright baby you wanna see how it looks so pretty
1:54
you always do it pretty baby look at that these are some of the comments we get
2:00
on Instagram and Facebook someone say frightening y need Jesus no soul Lord have mercy
2:12
They say I look like a monster. They say I look like the Black Grinch
2:17
They say I look like the damn gremlin woman. What is it
2:21
They tell my what in my mind. They crazy. They always say that we crackheads
2:26
We f***ed in. I don't care. They just look at somebody and they see me with no teeth
2:31
Not realizing that I haven't had work. They be saying that we using each other or like I'm using him
2:41
Saying that we ain't going to last long. We're going to block these people. And I've been blocking a lot of people
2:45
Like 300 people in 24 hours. They kept coming on the page. Talking about what
2:51
Oh, this is a man out of man. Why you keep calling her your wife? People say so much mean stuff, but you know, I'm so used to it or whatever
2:58
a long, you know, I'm happy. I don't care. And about your tattoos. And they always
3:02
say I messed my face up and this and that. But they don't know where my
3:06
tattoos came from. My tattoos came from pain. I use tattoos for therapy, you know
3:12
We respond to the judgment we face by looking at it, but not really letting it
3:17
affect us. And it's not coming between us. We're the type of people that don't really care
3:24
about what people think. We care about what makes us happy. I first transitioned three years ago
3:31
It was a little different for me because it was the first time for me to date someone that's trans
3:36
But we had so much likes and we just talked it and everything just went out great with us
3:44
So I was like, well, you know, why not just give it a try and see what happens? You know, so we gave it a shot and never looked back
3:50
So this is me as a guy before I started transitioning. I always knew I wanted to transition
4:00
How did my friends and family react? You know, it was really cool
4:04
I had prepared them for this. I had like warned them and let them know like when I turn 30 I gonna turn into a woman So I was getting them prepared for that This is when I first start transitioning
4:19
Yep, I didn't have my breasts done or nothing like that. What procedures have I had
4:23
I had my breasts done. I did a lipo 360 and I did a BBL and I did my lips

5:01

5:06

5:12
carts into racks because they turned around to look at us they knocked over stuff off the rack
5:17
if we'd look back and all you see is them turn around their carts it was funny we've had some

5:28
you made that many tattoos look so feminine then you got other people that just like give me that
5:34
A little dirty meat mug look. Have I noticed anyone staring at us since we've been out
5:41
Yes, I've noticed a lot of people been staring at us. Some people, like, try to play it off until, like, we walk away and then they look
5:48
But when we look at them, they turn their head. You know, that's just human reactions. They don't want to be seen
5:54
I used to be like, oh, what is they staring at? But I realized I tatted my whole body up
5:59
I just want to ask them, do they like what they see? so we're gonna play a song that we written together the name of the song is called dancing
6:08
so but it means more than just dancing yes because you know it's not the meaning to just
6:13
