Dems’ ‘Most Masculine’ Constituency May Soon Be Trans Women, Gaetz Tells Kirk

Former Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz told Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk that transgender women will soon be the Democrat Party’s “most masculine” constituency in a discussion aired Tuesday.

Struggling to find a single leader and message to get behind, Democrats have significantly dipped in their favorability polls for their party and among congressional lawmakers. While at a TPUSA conference in San Diego, California, Kirk asked Gaetz for his views on the state of the Democrat Party and what Republicans can learn since winning the election.

“I have some impolitic views on this. I believe that the most — Well, who’s left in the Democratic Party are like the beta males, the unsuccessful males, the angry pitbull-adopting lesbians and then the transsexuals,” Gaetz said. “So I believe that the trans women will very soon be the most masculine force in the Democratic Party.”

“Because who are you? I see several of you nodding. Like, who do you think is going to be the most masculine force in the Democratic Party, the beta males or the trans women? I think the trans women are probably going to kind of take over that,” Gaetz added.

In March, a CNN/SSRS poll showed the Democrat Party hitting its lowest favorability rating at just 29%, dropping 20 points since January 2021. Among respondents, over 30% were unable to write in a Democrat leader they felt “best reflects the core values” of the party.

Appeal for congressional Democrats has also dropped among young voters, according to a Harvard Youth Poll, dipping to 23% as of April compared to 42% in spring 2017.
