Conservatives seem to be furious about Swift’s rumored romance with Travis Kelce—and they’ve decided that she must be a trans woman.
Conservatives, especially the far-right kind, have never met a conspiracy theory they wouldn’t immediately embrace with all their might. Just look at that whole JFK-Jr-returning-from-the-dead thing.
And when it comes to right-wing bugaboos, nothing seems to get their goat quite like the existence of transgender people. Naturally, the two have melded in the most bizarre way possible—so-called “transvestigators.”
These are people who claim to be able to suss out who is and is not trans, and they’ve set their sights on all kinds of celebrities for all kinds of inane reasons. Their latest suspect? One Miss Taylor Swift.
You read that right. Conservatives now think Taylor Swift is trans, and they’re all over X, aka Twitter, posting “evidence.”
Yep, far-right weirdos obsessed with transgender people are convinced Taylor Swift is secretly a trans woman. Why? Because they can just tell, you see.
In one tweet, a conservative posited that because Swift’s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, took a knee during the national anthem at a recent NFL game, Swift must have male genitalia.
***Swift is obviously trans and “poisoning young girls to hate men.” But, to be fair, he also said it’s because “her face does not look feminine to me either, something is off.” Okay, well, in that case!
This, he claimed, is proof that Taylor Swift is “a trans agent placed by LGBT government,” a thing that does not exist. There are 13 openly LGBTQ+ people in Congress. Thirteen.
As always, Taylor Swift is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the far-right’s obsession with sussing out who may and may not be trans. Just last week a “transvestigator” and QAnon devotee pled guilty to following and threatening the life of a member of Congress he was convinced is secretly trans.
