Daily Wire pundit at CPAC wants to "eradicate transgenderism" (CW: violent transphobia) [View all]

Michael Knowles, political commentator at Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, says in front of (kind of sparse, honestly) crowds at CPAC that "there can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. ...Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely."





Obviously violently eliminationist rhetoric. But of course when news outlets reported the things that he said out loud in front of people for them to hear, he calls it libel:





And, of course, he is being roundly beaten up on Twitter for being a genocidal fascist about it:





He thinks he gave himself wiggle room by saying "transgenderism" instead of "trans people" must be eradicated from public life, but no one's buying it. So, we get more violent rhetoric against trans people, more stochastic terrorism, more threats of actual violence against the trans community.

Sorry, Michael: Trans rights are human rights, and your genocidal tendencies are incompatible with existence in a just and fair society.
