U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said that closing schools to stop the spread of the coronavirus contributed to the increase in the number of transgender children. She also said that social media played a part, since students not at school were spending more time online. She is spreading the poorly-researched work of Dr. Lisa Littman. She herself spends a lot of time on social media, spreading her far-right statements. Why aren’t these students more influenced by what she writes, but instead influenced by what transgender activists write? For bad logic, and for making statements without evidence, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene gets a Twit Award. The Advocate has this story.

Tucker Carlson referred to transgender people as the “natural enemy” of Christianity. Of course, the Gospels have no stories of Jesus confronting any transgender people, but no, the sorts of people whom Jesus confronted are not the “natural enemies” of Christianity. For rushing to pile on against his own perceived enemies, Tucker Carlson gets a Twit Award. This story comes from LGBTQ Nation.

As we mentioned in the news, many on the far right are trying to draw a connection between Audrey Hale being transgender and a mass shooting by him at a Christian school. A much stronger case could be made for a connection between him as a student at that school and his decision to target that school. Easy access to weapons also played a much more obvious role than did the shooter’s gender identity, and police are not sure if he even got treatment for that gender identity. For rushing to blame the boogeyman of their creation, far-right activists who exaggerate the importance of gender identity of Audrey Hale get a Twit Award. This story can be found in Them.
