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???

That's SO FUNNY @Charlize😆

(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.

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
