Megyn Kelly begins her show with a monologue explaining why she is done using “preferred pronouns” and will base her conversations on trans ideology in reality and truth, how her own views on this issue have evolved, the harms of gender affirming care in schools and by physicians, the injustice of biological men competing in women’s sports, how Lia Thomas and then Riley Gaines changed the story, standing up for women, and more.
This talk is a a great history of Megyn’s personal learning as well as key related events in the United States and elsewhere.
“Children should not be subject to these dangerous interventions in school or at the hands of so-called medical professionals. The facilities that allow it must be stopped or shut down.”
“I have resolved to base my conversations around gender on the same tenets that already govern my life: truth and reality.”
Megyn Kelly
Megyn quotes the poem recited by a 14-year old (@brandubh4) at Kellie-Jay Keen’s ‘Let Women Speak’ event in Belfast, Northern Ireland:
I am Not a Dress
We are women, we are warriors of steel.
Woman is something no man will ever feel.
Woman is not a skill that any man can hone.
Woman is our word and it is ours alone.
I am not a dress to be worn on a whim,
A man in a dress is nonetheless a him.
Women are not simply what we wear.
If this offends you, I do not care.
I am not an idea in any man’s mind
And my purpose in life is not to be kind.
So while my rights are trampled every day of the week,
I will not stand by being docile and meek.
I am not defined by sexist lies.
There is more to woman than that shallow guise,
That guise of dresses, bikinis and skirts,
Those clothes are not what womanhood is worth.
I am not a bitch, a TERF, a whore, a slag,
Hysterical, a witch, a slut, a hag.
No I am a woman, I am a female,
Who will not let her rights be put up for sale.
I am not defined by what men are not.
So to hell with cis misogynistic rot.
I am a woman, I’m not a subset of my sex.
If this makes me a dinosaur, so be it, I’m a T-Rex!
I am not a bleeder nor a menstruator,
A womb carrier or a uterus haver.
Those words and phrases are such a sham.
Just call me woman, it is who I am.
We are women, we are warriors of steel.
Woman is something no man will ever feel.
Woman is not a skill that any man can hone.
Woman is our word and it is ours alone.
