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???

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.

      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!

      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--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.

      What about it?

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power.

      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.
