Opinion: Tucker Carlson's Anti-Trans Rant Endangers Us All


Carolyn Marie

Recommended Posts

This is just wrong on so many levels.  But, unfortunately ... not surprising from FOX/right wing media.  It was at the very top of the first breaking news "Transgender shooter .... ". 

But I am happy Charlotte Clymer provided some great statistics.  99.7% of shooters are NOT trans!

Get rid of the screaming voices and the logic of the R-dubs reveals itself as simple but unintelligible and illogical huckstering of H8.  That was nailed down tight.  Carlson needs a psychiatric hold put on him as a danger to others.  He will be in his element in a sound deadening, padded room with appropriate physical restraints.

Speaking purely pastorally, Mr. Carlson is a lunatic in serious need of help who doesn't understand and misrepresents his faith. He needs our prayers. What astounds me about him is that his show is so popular.

 

The one point the author of the article that I have to disagree with, based on the facts, is that this has very little to do with "unrestricted access to guns." The shooter legally purchased 7 firearms from 5 licensed dealers. This means Hale went through 5-7 background checks which can hardly be described as "unfettered access." I would instead argue the background check system needs to be improved.

I agree with what everything said, but as the leaks on Carlson's dislike of Trump make clear, he is not arguing in good faith. Ditto for most of the others: they say whatever they think will rile up their base or boost ratings, not what they actually think. They are fully aware that their points are illogical. In my opinion, FOX News is the main cause of the problem. The entire network should be shutdown. Surely, deliberately broadcasting "news" known to be untrue and provocative is illegal. All the monopolies controlling media should be broken up, too.

Yes, Fox is a problem. But, so are other networks as evidenced by such shows as The View, Rachael Maddox, etc. Every last one of them are nothing more than propaganda organs anymore with each caring only about ratings. ANd, perhaps th4ey could be shut down in other countries, but not inn th4e USA. It's that darned pesky First Amendment again...

Ick.  I don't think Tucker is insane...he's doing what makes him and his network money.  Its all dollar-driven, and violence and scandals are what sell.

 

Tucker and his stuff made an unexpected and unpleasant appearance at our Easter dinner table.  My husband's father brought it up....the whole "transgender is like a religion" etc...  Husband's parents are sometimes tone-deaf Trumpers, and we turn the other cheek when they talk about it.  Somehow they manage to listen to Tucker even after they stopped paying for cable TV.  🙄

 

Today was more than I could stand, although I got the impression that husband's parents see all trans folks as leftist/Democrats.  Pet peeve of mine.  I was 🤏 very close to pointing out that they're sitting at dinner with a trans girl, and also that I'm my husband's intersex/trans partner....and neither of us are Democrat voters, nor anti-Christian, nor wannabe shooters.  I kept my mouth shut, and my husband guided the conversation to something else. 

 

Thanks, Tucker.   You made my Easter soooo special. 🤬

I actually wondered why no-one had mentioned it here before now. The story was widely covered here. Our news media seem obsessed with the inane and unhinged utterings of Fox News, Carlson, Alex Jones, Trump et al. Personally I think they would be better off not giving them oxygen.

I certainly won't miss him and i saw in a satire the fox is replacing him with an automated lying machine.  It can spew out more deception and hate faster than even he could do.

I also noticed that Jesse Waters is "on vacation" and that CNN fired Don Lemon. Maybe this signals a beginning of the end to frat boy journalism???

(oh! I just realized this emoji face 😆 is just like Tucker's stupid fake laughing face.  Guess he's not laughing now)

He's only laughing on his way to the bank. I read somewhere that he got a multi-million dolla5r settlement and already has a contract to become news director for some obscure cable network. And he's suing Fox for defamation or something. He just needs to go away.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3

      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable

      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--
