"Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey appointed Giselle Byrd, a Black transgender woman and executive director of The Theater Offensive, to the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women (MCSW), an appointment that, in turn, caught the attention of notorious anti-LGBTQ+ X account Libs of TikTok. On 16 November, Libs of TikTok tweeted a photograph of Giselle Byrd with the caption: "UNREAL. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey (D) appointed Giselle Byrd, a man pretending to be a woman, to the 'Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women' which advises on policy to improve opportunities for women. You cannot make this up.""
"Megyn Kelly then quote-tweeted the post by Libs of TikTok, adding her two cents and writing: "Men make the best women, we all know that." However, if she expected her usual, vehemently anti-trans fan base to celebrate her comment, she may have been disappointed when she instead was faced with repeated references to Jeffrey Epstein, and Kelly's recent, much-criticised comment about his victims."
"On Thursday's edition of her SiriusXM show, after the House Oversight Committee released more than 20,000 emails sent to and from Epstein, she appeared to question whether Epstein really was a paedophile. "He was into the barely-legal type," Kelly said. "Like, he liked 15-year-old girls. And I realize this is disgusting. I'm definitely not trying to make an excuse for this. I'm just giving you facts, that he wasn't into, like, eight-year-olds.""
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey appointed Giselle Byrd, a Black transgender woman and executive director of The Theater Offensive, to the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women. The appointment was targeted by the anti-LGBTQ+ X account Libs of TikTok, which posted a photograph and derided Byrd. Megyn Kelly quote-tweeted that post with the remark "Men make the best women, we all know that." Responses to Kelly’s tweet repeatedly referenced her recent SiriusXM comments about Jeffrey Epstein, where she suggested he preferred "barely-legal" teenagers and questioned whether he was a paedophile. Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008 and died in jail in 2019 while awaiting federal sex-trafficking trial.
