It’s fair to say ‘Welcome to Plathville’ fans are not exactly fond of Micah Plath’s latest dating adventure with Veronica Peters. Many viewers appear to be convinced that they don’t actually like each other, which is an outrageous claim. Some want Micah to run away from Veronica because of the off-putting “vibes” or for whatever reasons.
The general consensus is Micah and Veronica are an awkward pairing. Some find it funny that Veronica keeps hunching her shoulders to get down to Micah’s height. But the most ridiculous speculation came when social media started rumors Veronica is a trans woman and that she used to be a guy.
Micah Plath’s Girlfriend Veronica Peters Is Not Transgender—She Was Never a Guy; The Rumors Make No Sense!
Let’s make something abundantly clear. Micah Plath’s girlfriend Veronica Peters is not trans. She has never been a guy; she is just a tall cis female. The absurd rumors appear to have originated because of the way she looks, but we can confirm she’s always been a girl ever since she was little. The reality star recently took to Instagram in the couple’s joint account to debunk those ridiculous claims with a series of childhood pictures, writing:
Sharing a glimpse of my younger self to show those who try and attack me who they are making rumors about. As an advocate against all forms of bullying, I stand firm in rejecting cruelty and prejudice. Everyone deserves respect and dignity— I will always fight for these principles and look forward to the day when we can all uphold these values together.
It was nice to see the comment section filled with sympathy, encouraging her to stay strong. One user wrote, “You’re beautiful. Unfortunately, the internet is full of miserable people. Pay no mind to them. Their issues are with themselves. Happy, nice people don’t put down others.”
Many comments also called out the accusers for being cruel and suggested that such behaviors are the result of their own insecurities. For instance, one user remarked, “People who bully others have low self-esteem. You are so incredibly beautiful. Remember that hurt people, hurt people.”
Some people, while not being fond of Micah Plath nor his girlfriend, still acknowledged that this is a very messed up situation and that people are making stuff up about them when she is clearly not trans.
Is it even surprising that things tend to take a turn for the worse when someone appears in the public eye? A user wrote, “And people wonder why you took so long to come forward. People can be so cruel. Stay strong, girl.”
Over on Twitter, the negative and speculative comments are rife among ‘Welcome to Plathville’ fans. They think Veronica is transgender, pointing to her body shape and head size as “evidence.” Many are in agreement that something is off about her body and facial features while some refer to her jawline as being “very masculine.”
One user not only speculated about Veronica’s gender but also questioned her name, implying that “Veronica” isn’t a typical name for a woman. The person added, “Can’t tell if that’s an Adam’s apple or not…..” Beyond her physical appearance, some Twitter users criticized her personality, calling her “controlling” just like Olivia (you won’t believe who her new man is).
Some fans also think Micah might be gay, which explains his new relationship. One user wrote, “I always thought Micah was gay. So it wouldn’t surprise me to see him open to all avenues and being more fluid.” Well, we can’t confirm if Micah is gay, but we can certainly put to bed the rumors that Veronica is trans.
Welcome to Plathville Fans Think Micah Plath and Veronica Peters Give Off Awkward Vibes
A lot of online fans are currently saying Micah and Veronica seem super awkward together. It’s not just the camera shyness; they reckon something feels off about their chemistry. Some viewers think Veronica’s shyness might be a bit fake or just for show. She seems awkward around Micah, and people can’t help but notice.
As we addressed earlier, several comments suggest Veronica Peters has a masculine appearance or even that she might be transgender. Some people think she looks like “Rick, Ron, Nick” or even “Squidward (when he was handsome)” from SpongeBob SquarePants. That’s unnecessarily harsh!
There’s genuine skepticism about how long the relationship will last. Fans are drawing comparisons to previous couples from the show and expressing doubts about the pair’s future. Viewers are also noting that Micah Plath and his family seem to have some real issues, and there’s a general sense that the chemistry between the couple isn’t great.
The biggest speculation, though, revolves around Veronica being transgender or at least having a non-traditional appearance, which is contributing to the awkwardness. Balanced takes are not exactly common on Twitter, but a few reckon Veronica’s appearance or behavior might be making people uncomfortable, and there are calls for more understanding and less judgment. Meanwhile, some think Veronica is just introverted and awkward while others feel she might be putting on an act or not being genuine.
