Charlie Kirk Challenges California's Ban on Misgendering
Showing 5 Misgendering videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Charlie Kirk pressed a student who supported California's law criminalizing misgendering, arguing that threatening prison time for using an unintended pronoun amounts to state-compelled speech and a step toward authoritarianism, while the student maintained that respecting a person's stated pronouns should take precedence. The exchange turned on a broader disagreement over how many genders exist and whether language itself should be legally regulated to protect gender identity. A separate video shows police using pepper spray and a taser on a student in mental health crisis during an unrelated pronoun-related dispute that escalated into a physical standoff.
