People are “transvestigating” Charlie Kirk and his recent widow Erika, with online posts circulating that claim both members of the former couple were, and are, trans. This is a pretty insane claim but I still wanted to see what possible evidence there could be.
“Erik(a) kirk, straight collar bones, his legs aren’t normal female anatomy either, jaw line is male, smaller hips then shoulders, thigh gap, that is a man. as most pageant winners are,” Was written in a “Transvestigation” facebook group. They also claimed that Charlie Kirk clearly had an Adam’s apple implanted, pointing to its small size.
GLADD notes that the whole idea of Transvestigation is considered dehumanizing hate-speech. Ironically something similar to Kirk’s own beliefs who himself said that trans people were “throwing a middle finger to god”.
So while highly unlikely i think debunking these extreme conspiracy theories can help us understand where these harmful ideologies stem from.
