Megyn Kelly wants to reframe ‘transphobia’: ‘Not sure fear is exactly what it is, but anger’

Media personality Megyn Kelly slammed critics who have labeled her “transphobic,” saying the term misrepresents her stance on biological males identifying as transgender females.

“You know, this word ‘transphobic,’ I’ve been thinking about this word,” Kelly said on her SiriusXM The Megyn Kelly Show. “I don’t care what you call me. I believe women are women and men are men.”

“You can’t change your sex. And gender is really not a thing,” the podcast host continued. “The word ‘transphobic,’ it’s suggesting fear of trans people. Well, I’m not sure ‘fear’ is exactly what it is, but ‘anger.’ Anger at the trans people who want to steal women’s medals, who want to invade our pools, our locker room, our bathrooms, our sororities. Recognition that they’re being grossly inappropriate.”

Last week, Kelly tweeted in response to criticism of views she had expressed on her show, saying: “Call me whatever names you want. I am speaking the truth. And neither I nor the millions of other women (and men) who believe in biology/reality/fairness will be dissuaded by your attempts to marginalize us with words like ‘transphobic.’”

Kelly affirmed her position on Thursday during her show, saying she has no intention of backing down.

“I do want to be trans-exclusionary when it comes to my bathrooms, and my locker room, and my sports,” she said.
