Not that we ever thought she wasn’t…
They really are coming for trans kids — and LGBT people in general:
Megyn Kelly accused Fox News of betraying its “mission” over the network’s decision to air a report about a transgender child.
On Friday morning, the network aired a segment about 14-year-old Ryland Whittington, who identifies as a transgender boy. The network did so to celebrate “diversity” for “LGBTQ+ PRIDE MONTH,” per a graphic on America’s Newsroom.
The story drew immense and immediate backlash from many conservatives.
Kelly, a former Fox News prime time host, joined Newsmax TV’s The Balance on Tuesday to talk about the story with host Eric Bolling.
“If you look at the history of transgender – gender dysphoria, it affects mostly, almost exclusively, little boys who think that they’re actually girls,” she said.
Kelly said roughly 70% of children experiencing gender dysphoria will grow out if it. She then ripped her former network for what she categorized as irresponsible reporting. Kelly said,
In the Fox News segment, Ryland’s mother Hillary Whittington invoked high rates of suicides for transgender people.
“I’d rather have a living son than a dead daughter,” she told the network.
Kelly described Fox’s decision to quote her verbatim as “dangerous.”
“That’s a very dangerous trope, because this is used by the LGBTQ activists to shame parents who know about that 70% statistic, that generally, if I stay out of it, my kid’s going to outgrow this, and in many cases, they just turn out to be gay,” she said.
Kelly added,
To not flag the significant downsides of what happens to these kids when they’re put on puberty blockers, when they’re put on cross gender hormones – by the way, when that’s done two girls, they’re sterile, they can’t have children anymore – and you can go down the list is irresponsible to their mission. I mean, I don’t expect any of the mainstream press to do it.
She is clueless and cruel. And she is also a right wing hack if there ever was one. She makes it clear that the Fox news “mission” is to transmit right wing propaganda. But you knew that too.
