Radar Watchlist: Lilly Contino

Lilly Contino, perhaps one of the loudest and most alarming trans activists, has no business inserting himself into children’s spaces where he does not belong. Contino’s selfish approach to activism has led to one outrageous incident after another. He deliberately forces himself into spaces meant for children, antagonizes people for making honest mistakes, and thrives on creating public outrage to feed his victim narrative. Lilly Contino, formerly known as Nicholas Sylvan Contino, is a self-proclaimed TikTok influencer, game designer, and transgender “educator” with a passion for stirring up arguments and causing conflict. This brand of “education” is very problematic, to say the least. Instead of meaningful discussions, Contino thrives on provocation, rage, and bullying.


Reporting from LGBTQ+ and entertainment media has been favorable. We are not surprised, since these publications tend to run by sex pests who harass their staff, like PinkNews, whose executives were accused of sexual misconduct, groping, and kissing young staff who were too drunk to consent, with 33 staff members coming forward to share their stories. PinkNews has spent 2 years slandering Gays Against Groomers and churning out smear campaigns, fueling media bias and the lies on our Wikipedia page. The groomers out themselves eventually. And this is the website defending Lilly Contino. Take note. Pink News makes the false claim that Contino was harassed in a restaurant, which was a lie.


According to The Independent, Contino was “verbally assaulted” in public, which also was not the case. One media outlet published “Is Lily Tino an Inspiration for the Younger Generation? Without a doubt, Lily Tino serves as an inspiration for many, especially the younger generation. Her story showcases the importance of perseverance, creativity, and staying true to oneself. By sharing her experiences and insights, she empowers others to embrace their unique journeys and pursue their dreams.”


Contino has been known to film restaurant staff for making honest mistakes and then publicly shaming them online. He forces adult conversations about “gender identity” into spaces meant for children. He has filmed himself in girl’s restrooms and makes those around him visibly uncomfortable. In the videos he posts online, he is always dressed up in bright, child-like clothing to create content aimed at children, disguised as “education.” His activism is not about progress. It is about attention, validation, and pushing boundaries. Lilly Tino doesn't just film himself acting out in public. He creates his own pornography that goes viral online. His most well-known skit is dressing up like a cartoon character, Velma from Scooby Doo, and searching for his penis. "Jinkies!" he says for the camera, squinting through a magnifying glass and looking for his genitals. This is a common theme in trans pornography, which sometimes centers on the penile shrinkage caused by estrogen injections: the same drug he pushes on children.



One particularly disturbing incident happened at DisneyLand. In May 2024, Contino went to Disneyland, a place designed for families and children, to film himself discussing sex change surgery in explicit detail. In the video, Contino holds a Minnie Mouse cake pop and uses it as a metaphor for his upcoming surgery, referring to his penis as a “marshmallow wand” and the surgical transformation into a “surgical vagina” as a “marshmallow tunnel.” This was not a private discussion. It was filmed in a public space, surrounded by children, and posted for all to see. Disneyland is a place for childhood innocence, not for graphic discussions about amputating body parts. Why would someone feel the need to discuss genital mutilation in front of children?! There is absolutely no reason for any adult to discuss their genitals in a theme park. This sets a dangerous precedent, normalizing explicit conversations in spaces meant to be safe for children. It is yet another example of radical activists normalizing inappropriate topics in front of children. TalkTV covered the incident, questioning why there wasn’t more outrage from the general public. This was not an accident. It was deliberate. Contino is not just controversial online. He actively seeks out conflict in real life. In March 2023, Contino was involved in a heated altercation at a San Francisco Cheesecake Factory. A 70-year-old woman confronted Contino, furious after being filmed by him inside the women’s restroom. The verbal confrontation quickly escalated, and the woman threatened to punch Contino, a moment that Contino conveniently recorded for social media.


Another video shows the influencer filming himself leaving the restroom after scaring a three-year-old CHILD. Instead of apologizing, he took a video and used it to play the victim. This is part of a larger pattern of behavior. Contino has filmed inside multiple women’s restrooms, creating an environment where women and mothers feel unsafe. According to the Toronto Sun, Lilly enjoys filming the staff at various restaurants and getting misgendered, so he can post the footage on social media. In one instance, a waiter made an honest mistake, but Contino escalated the situation, berated the employee, and demanded to speak to the manager.


Contino doesn’t document discrimination; he manufactures it.


Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of Contino’s activism is his repeated efforts to engage with children. Contino dressed as “Miss Rachel,” a beloved children’s YouTube personality–a deliberate attempt to appeal to very young children. Miss Rachel’s main audience consists of toddlers aged 1 to 5 years old. Let that sink in. Contino’s social media content is terrifying. His Facebook page is a smorgasbord of disturbing content geared towards parents and their children. All of the video themes are the same – dressing in bright, child-friendly colors that match the trans flag. He shares videos on how parents should introduce pronouns to their children. He frequently records himself in spaces where children are present, including restrooms and playgrounds. This is not normal adult behavior. It is a clear attempt at boundary violation.



He posted a video encouraging “queer kids” to get angry. Contino has openly stated that "We can get stuff done with anger." He has encouraged trans youth to “fight back” against those who do not affirm their identity. He is radicalizing young followers, teaching them to choose anger over rationality. This type of content fuels division, hostility, and potentially dangerous behavior. Instead of teaching kids to accept people who think differently, Contino promotes an “us vs. them” mentality. This is extremism.


Lilly has a long history of antagonizing people in public for making mistakes and sexualizing children. He is a radical provocateur pushing an agenda that disregards decency, privacy, and the safety of minors. He pushes explicit conversations into children’s spaces, baits public confrontations for social media attention, films inside restrooms, and tramples on the privacy of others. The trans agenda has absolutely NO place in children’s spaces. There is NO reason a kid should be told that they are anything other than a boy or a girl. Does Contino genuinely believe that he's doing the right thing? Because this behavior just makes people dislike him even more, further alienating himself.


From graphic discussions about genital surgery at Disneyland to starting trouble in restrooms and restaurants, Contino’s behavior has officially earned him a place on the Gays Against Groomers Radar Watchlist. Leave the kids alone, Lilly.
