Really disappointed in Kyle over this.
This take is shameful and transphobic. I hope he gets some backlash so that he re-evaluates his view.
I have watched Kyle for around 7 years, and I’ve always thought he was principled and doing his best. That’s why I’m so disappointed in him saying this, especially with the huge audience he has on twitter. Many of us look up to him, including those of us in the LGBTQ+ community.
With Trump about to come into power, it is especially important to stand strong in support of trans people; as Kyle himself has reported, the trans community is one of the main focuses of right-wing hate right now.
Just because someone is hateful and bigoted, that doesn’t mean it is okay to use bigoted rhetoric against them.
Caitlyn Jenner won’t see Kyle’s tweet. But plenty of trans people will—people who don’t deserve to have their identities denied, people who will be hurt by this type of rhetoric.
Please do better Kyle.
