After activist Tara Jay called for armed resistance against those who opposed biological men accessing women’s restrooms, a video of Jay from April 2023 reappeared on social media, garnering a lot of attention. Millions of people watched the video, which was shared by the LibsOfTikTok X account and promoted by Republican Representative Nancy Mace. It sparked a renewed discussion about restroom access regulations. In response, House Speaker Mike Johnson established a rule that Delaware Rep.-elect Sarah McBride pledged to enforce, which forbade biological men from accessing women’s toilets in the Capitol.
Important points:
- Tara Jay s video urged transgender and LGBTQ individuals to arm up to defend their restroom rights, prompting backlash for perceived threats of violence.
- Rep. Nancy Mace shared the video to underscore ongoing policy debates about transgender restroom access and safety concerns.
- A new policy from House Speaker Mike Johnson bans biological men from women s restrooms in the Capitol, a move McBride pledged to respect.
The controversial discussion over striking a balance between public safety and transgender rights in public areas has been heightened by the resurfaced film.
In a video from April 2023 that went viral on social media, an activist warned people who opposed biological men using women’s restrooms that it was time to arm up, implying that anyone who attempted to prevent men from using the lavatory could die.
The video was reposted by the LibsOfTikTok X account on X Friday, and as of early Friday night, it had received 1.9 million views. The video was also posted by Republican Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina, whose post received over 220,000 views as of Friday night.
This week, the topic of biological men posing as transgender women and using women’s restrooms garnered media attention. This comes after Mace presented a resolution on the restrooms in the Capitol building in response to Sarah McBride’s election to Delaware’s at-large congressional seat. The activist, Tara Jay, challenged opponents to bar him from entering a women’s restroom in the video that was first aired on TikTok last year.
Observe:
I challenge you to attempt to prevent a transgender woman from using the restroom while I’m around. It will be the final error you make. This is a call to arms and action for all Americans who are afraid or concerned and who have children who are gay, bisexual, lesbian, or transgender. A call to action is what this is. You must arm yourself. It’s simple. Go out, purchase a firearm, and become proficient with it. Because now is the moment to take action, Jay stated.
In addition to protecting yourself, you also need to safeguard your transgender siblings and their families. You must defend the other members of the LGBT community, just as I will. Neither Christians nor conservatives, nor evangelicals nor Republicans are anything I’m afraid of. The only thing they do is speak a big game. However, you will experience the true sensation of terror if you do anything in my presence.
When the Daily Caller News Foundation attempted to access Jay’s TikTok, it looked to have been removed.
