Megyn Kelly Says She Won't Use The Word "Trans" Anymore — She'll Say This Term Instead
by Ron Dicker · BuzzFeedPosted 3 minutes ago
Conservative chat host Megyn Kelly said Tuesday she will no longer use the term “trans” because it’s “fiction” ― and revealed she’ll use “gender-confused” as a substitute.
Kelly spewed her regressive take in a conversation with Victor Davis Hanson on The Megyn Kelly Show.
“By the way, I want to say I’m done using the term trans. Done,” Kelly declared. “I will say someone is gender-confused, sometimes they genuinely are, sometimes they’re faking it, but there’s no such thing as trans. That’s not a thing. You can’t transition your gender. We’ve been engaging in this fiction for too long.”
It wasn’t so long ago that Kelly appeared to support the transgender community. Mediaite cited a 2018 episode of NBC’s Today when the former Fox News personality hosted a segment about support and acceptance for “transgender kids.”
“The people on stage with me are all transgender kids who want others to know it is possible to transition socially with love and support and acceptance within a family and a community,” she said.
Of course things changed. She recently used the transphobic slur “trannies” and criticized a trans character on The Pitt while scoffing at a scene in which a medical worker apologizes for the misgendering on her chart.
She has also spoken out against transgender women in sports.
