In the last year, calls for violence against transgender people have been on the rise. Increasingly, conservative leaders are more willing to make those calls. Charlie Kirk is the latest.
The way he prods his viewers with the concept that real men would “take care of this,” and that the reason it’s being allowed is lower testosterone levels. Playing to the insecurities of his viewers with the goal of inciting violence towards the trans community. Absolutely abhorrent, and terrifying.
That's trash. Why this sort of behavior, calls to mass violence, is legal is beyond me. Or rather, why these folks aren't in prison for such statements is beyond me.
I know he's basically a creature of the fascist right, but is there *anyone* who advertises on his podcast, or maybe even gives to Turning Point, who we could conceivably pressure to drop him?
Cis mom here. I'm standing up for this community every day. There are tens of thousands of us RealMamaBears.org doing the same. We love and need you in this world.
Thanks hon. I’m so freaking angry and scared right now. Texas. Florida. Tennessee. Utah. On and on. Every day a blast to my guts. I just want to live my joy
I feel like an "old, white, boomer lady" shouting into the echo chamber sometimes but I won't stop. Heard tonight that anyone, even outside Kentucky, can make calls to oppose an omnibus bill there. made.my.night. Anytime I can find out specific things to do to protest proposed (and a lot of it IS proposed rn) legislation I'm so happy. It's TOTALLY CRAZY that we're having to play whack-a-mole with hate bills being done at the state level. Living your joy is the ultimate rebellion--please keep going. Love you.

If we joined our voices and did the same towards those who wish to wish our existence away and exterminate us, you know they would have us all locked up.
Don't give up. We have to breathe, stay hydrated, fight what we can and love each other. We are also citizens of this country. We belong here. You are loved.
If you know anyone who attends or attended the list of schools please share Erin's post with them. If you live near one of the schools, please protest on the day CK speaks there (there WILL be other protestors!).
Encourage each other. Keep on loving each other and supporting this beautiful community.
If you are a parent who is not accepting, supporting, and loving your kid (no matter what age) please get ahold of yourself and reach out to me for how to tear that wall out of your heart. It's never too late.

At a minimum, boycott their services and products.
Every day we move one step closer to open genocide of our people. Recognizing that we’re almost there already

Why is it an incitement to violence is allowed on the radio and television? I know they were subtle about it but Jesus
It makes me want to tear my hair out and run around cussing!
You would be justified in doing just that

These people (anti-trans) are the cancer in this country. Why don't they educate themselves? 🤬
No amount of education will change their minds. They will never see or accept us.
Horrible people. I am so sorry.
