The Right Is Now Transvestigating Charlie Kirk and His Wife, Erika
Transphobia truly impacts us all. By Samantha Riedel
Definite beverage alert, though it may be choking rather than laughing.
We all knew it was inevitable: the MAGA conspiracy set is knee-deep in transvestigating Charlie Kirk and his widow, Erika Kirk.
For the blissfully offline (oh, how we envy you), “transvestigation” is a transphobic conspiracy theory advanced over the past eight years, adherents to which believe countless celebrities, politicians, and other public figures are secretly transgender. The conspiracy usually involves armchair phrenology, as believers overlay diagrams of skeletons and skulls over photographs to highlight alleged “discrepancies,” and pseudoscientific analyses of body language and posture. It’s abject nonsense that conveniently ties in with QAnon, “Pizzagate,” and other right-wing conspiracies — and nobody, not even far-right figureheads themselves, are safe from suspicion.
Transvestigators on social media started training their eyes on Erika Kirk roughly two months ago in mid-September, shortly after her husband, Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk, was shot and killed in Utah. (snip)
Comments on the post were somewhat divided, though many took Starbucs’ side. “Of course almost all models, especially agent models and Victoria secret models are mostly [trans women],” one wrote. Another simply called her a “filthy Luciferian.” Others cited a video Erika Kirk filmed over a decade ago, in which she described herself in childhood as a tomboy, as evidence that she was actually assigned male at birth. Some even took the opportunity to posthumously transvestigate Charlie Kirk as well; “that’s why Charlie Kirk seemed so feminine and emasculated because she was a transgender handler. That’s why he was so pretty,” one person wrote. (emphasis mine-A.) (snip-MORE-it’s not long)

How Trump’s Anti-Trans Passport Ban Impacts You
Here’s what you need to know about Trump’s trans passport ban. By Quispe López
On November 6, the Supreme Court granted the State Department temporary permission to enforce the Trump administration’s passport ban, giving it authority to bar transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people from obtaining passports with gender markers that reflect their identity.
The decision reversed two previous injunctions ordered by lower courts, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as a class action lawsuit against the State Department, Orr v. Trump, which temporarily prevented the Trump administration from enforcing its trans passport ban. The ban stems from an anti-trans executive order in which the Trump administration attempted to codify the legal definition of gender as biological sex determined “at conception.”
While the lawsuit was pending, the injunctions temporarily allowed trans, nonbinary, and intersex people to obtain passports, new or renewed, with the gender marker corresponding to their identity. Following the Supreme Court’s decision, which allows the State Department to enact the executive order while Orr v. Trump is debated, people who apply for a new or renewed passport will only be able to receive one with their sex assigned at birth. According to the ACLU, there is no guidance on what intersex people who might not have any documents with an F or M marker from around the time they were born should expect for their passports.

Scottie's Playtime 
Hi. I have often thought that some of the anti-trans bigotry on the right is that conservative or religious leaders find some trans people attractive and that makes them very uncomfortable. It is like the anti-gay preachers that get caught having affairs / sex with other guys / boys. They are constantly told it is wrong and unnatural so they are upset over how they feel. They know it couldn’t be their fault. It must be the fault of the gay guy or the trans person. Notice the comments that “Of course almost all models, especially agent models and Victoria secret models are mostly [trans women],” shows their sexual desire and fantasies over what is forbidden. To me it shows the complete bravery of those who broke from that mold to be their sincere self.
As for the passports. Until tRump it was normal to have an injunction to stop enforcement of a law being challenged so that if it is found to be unconstitutional then no harm has been done. But the makeup of the court is people ideologically opposed to further understanding of our society / people’s expressions in favor of keeping the traditional past that they feel most comfortable with. It could be due to age as most of the right wing of the court is older, all are straight cis people who never questioned their own sexuality, and half of the right wing are hyper religious believing the words in a book written 2,500 years ago have more scientific merit than what medical science shows to be true today. My feeling is let people be people if they are not physically harming others. Simply existing and have equality to live as who they are is not causing harm. Hugs
