‘Abandoning Reality’: Megyn Kelly Torches Women’s March Tweet Declaring ‘Trans Women Are Women’

Journalist 📺Megyn Kelly is taking issue with a tweet from The Women’s March about transgender women.

On Thursday, The Women’s March tweeted a series of claims, some of which seemed as though they were designed merely to provoke outrage, such as, “Abortion is safer than giving birth. Just saying.”

Another tweet that garnered a lot of outrage read, “Trans women are women. That’s it. That’s the tweet.”

Kelly took issue with the tweet as she wrote, “No they aren’t. There are massive differences between women and trans women. We can be respectful to trans people while not abandoning reality.”

Kelly is correct. There are differences between people who are biological females, people who were born female, who have two X chromosomes, and those who identified as and transitioned to a woman.

She’s also right that there is a way to be respectful of transgender people without adopting the view that someone who identifies as a particular gender and underwent surgery — or not — is, in fact, a different gender than when they were born.

In America, a core part of our values is that people should be able to live and pursue happiness. And people who believe they are a different gender they were born as are no different.

They shouldn’t be discriminated against or judged because no one has a right to judge anyone else.

But not judging people and trying to be loving to transgender people does not mean that the world needs to abandon thousands of years of views about sex and gender.
