Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) Protected Knowles responded to a question by the New Republic’s far-left publication, saying: “By transgenderism, I assume he means the ideology of suggesting to kids who are suffering anxiety, depression, or what have you that there’s something fundamentally wrong with their bodies and they need to change their gender.”
“We’re having that debate in Missouri right now about whether we should push kids toward gender reassignment surgery,” He added. “I think no, no, no, no, no, no.”
Knowles stated that gender ideology was based on false assumptions about the human condition. He argued that it cannot be imposed upon or indulged in any context that doesn’t give credence to these premises. This undermines the foundations and values of society.

The Daily Wire demanded immediate retractions from Rolling Stone and Yahoo News as well as apologies for The Daily Beast’s coverage of Knowles’ speech.

“I have been called all sorts of nasty things by the liberal press, Tucker, so I tend to expect everything,” Knowles began, conceding, “But I have to admit being accused of genocide did take me by surprise.”
