"When Glover said that the trans person wasn't allowed to use the bathroom at their own place of work... Rogan replied, 'Not true.' 'They're just not allowed to use the bathroom that doesn't align with their biological sex,' Rogan said."
"I genuinely think there's people that feel like they are the in the wrong biological sex. But there's also people that are f**king perverts, and they have a thing called autogynephilia."
"Approximately 19 states have passed laws or implemented policies restricting transgender people from using bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity, according to the Movement Advancement Project. A majority of these aforementioned states restrict trans bathroom use in government-owned buildings and spaces, including K-12 schools, colleges, and more."
During a podcast episode with Steve-O, Joe Rogan made inflammatory statements characterizing transgender people as perverts and falsely blamed them for school shootings. When his guest attempted to discuss the oppression experienced by a transgender person denied bathroom access at work, Rogan repeatedly interrupted and denied the existence of institutional discrimination. Rogan claimed transgender individuals are simply restricted from bathrooms not aligned with biological sex, despite approximately 19 states having implemented laws restricting bathroom access based on gender identity. Rogan further promoted autogynephilia, a debunked pseudoscientific theory originating from anti-trans doctor Ray Blanchard, which falsely suggests transgender women transition due to sexual fetishism rather than genuine gender identity.
