3:43Now PlayingBeing Trans, Mental Health, and Violence Are Not All the Same Thing
Lee Tepper discusses the dangerous ways media and political figures twist tragedies to promote harmful narratives about trans people. Using the recent case of Robin Westman as an example, Lee emphasizes that being trans is not a mental illness, nor does it make someone violent. They highlight how right-wing voices like Charlie Kirk are leveraging the Minnesota tragedy not to grieve the victims, but to fuel transphobia and political agendas.
Lee stresses the importance of separating fact from feeling, addressing misinformation about SSRIs, hormones, and trans identity. They also speak directly to trans people and allies, urging trans viewers to protect their mental health by avoiding harmful comment sections, while calling on allies to step up in challenging misinformation and transphobia online.
This conversation highlights the urgent need for compassion, accuracy, and respect in public discourse around trans rights, mental health, and violence. Lee focuses on the responsibility we all share in stopping the spread of disinformation and standing against narratives that dehumanize trans communities.
