Tuberville’s Transphobic Remarks Spark Outrage: Kids Should Not Fear Parents
Senator Tommy Tuberville denounced parents of transgender children as abusive, asserting that transgender children should fear their parents, not the government. This statement followed an Episcopal bishop’s plea for mercy towards those fearing current political climates. Tuberville’s tweet ignited criticism from the Alabama Transgender Rights Action Coalition, who condemned his remarks as contradicting Christian teachings and exacerbating the already heightened anxiety and depression experienced by transgender youth. The senator’s statement came after President Trump signed an executive order recognizing only two genders.
