For writer ParkerMolloy, Tucker Carlson’s obsession with constantly depicting transgender people as weirdos, or worse, on his show is extremely dangerous.
“It’s so frustrating to watch because that is the only perspective that a lot of people are going to get. The only trans person they’re gonna hear from is—well, they’re not even gonna hear from that trans person—they’re gonna hear from Tucker Carlson screaming about how this is leading to the end of society.”
This is particularly troubling to host Andy Levy as he points out that attacks on trans rights—and LGBTQ rights more generally—seem to be increasing and becoming bolder, from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “Don’t Say Gay Bill” to bathroom and sports legislation all across the country. “It’s a recipe for discrimination and it’s gonna hurt a lot of people. That’s something that I’m really worried about, especially as it concerns these attacks on what people can learn in school, because this kind of echoes the 2013 law that Russia implemented, the gay propaganda law that they put [into law] over there. It became illegal to put things out in public that exposed children to basically being gay or being trans and promoting it in any sense.
Also on this episode: Molloy and Andy discuss the GOP’s hypocrisy when it comes to anti-trans legislation, why the right’s outrage with pronouns is “fake,” and the latest in the Elon Musk Twitter saga.
