\u2014Baselessly claimed<\/a> in a transphobic tweet, that there were photos of suspected shooted in the Uuvalde school shooting “cross-dressing” and that it was sign they were “mentally disturbed.” There is no proof that the suspected killer of 21 people including 19 students inside Robb Elementary School, is transgender. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u2014Targeted<\/a> Rep. Marie Newman, the mother of a transgender child, with a false tweet insisting that science supports just two genders. The science<\/a> shows there are far more than two genders and more than two sexes. Owens falsely claimed that supporting transgender people from discrimination is an attempt at \u201cerasing\u201d womanhood. Trans women are women. Owens’ Twitter feed is an ongoing stream of false claims and hostile rhetoric toward trans people and supporters who believe trans people exist and need protecting. At least 44 trans people<\/a> were murdered in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u2014When uninvited from a podcast appearance for making Jameela Jamil\u2019s staff feel unsafe due to her transphobic comments, tweeted<\/a>: \u201cSAD TO ANNOUNCE that @jameelajamil has revoked my invitation to her podcast bc I tweeted \u201conly women can give birth\u201d. Apparently the statement made her trans co-workers feel \u201cunsafe\u201d. My refusal to untether myself from biological realities has cost me, yet again. SAD!\u201d [sic]<\/p>\n

\u2014After Mario Lopez apologized for transphobic remarks he made on Owens\u2019 show (he said it\u2019s \u201cdangerous as a parent to make [a] determination\u201d about young transgender children), Owens said he was bullied into an apology by \u201csick\u201d \u201cleftists.\u201d<\/a> Owens initially promoted his comments by saying that parents affirming their child\u2019s gender identity was a \u201cscary trend coming out of Hollywood right now.\u201d Research<\/a> shows that affirming trans youth’s names and pronouns lowers suicidal ideation and behavior.<\/p>\n

\u2014When singer Harry Styles appeared on a Vogue<\/em> cover in a dress, tweeted<\/a>: \u201cThere is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence. It is an outright attack. Bring back manly men.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said the movement for transgender equality is \u201cSatanic.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed<\/a> that the trans equality movement \u201cis one of the most dangerous\u201d and \u201cevil\u201d things.<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> \u201cI cannot think of anybody\u2019s emotional capabilities that are more unstable than somebody that is transitioning from a male to a female.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Tweeted<\/a> that trans women competing in sports and Miss Universe pageants is a \u201ccomplete and utter mockery of modern feminism\u201d while misgendering them as \u201cmen.\u201d<\/p>\n
