Ex-LGBTQ ally/failed presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard must have been really, really bored at 4:46 this morning. So, she took to Twitter to rage tweet about COVID cases among pregnant non-binary people.
In the wee early hours of the morning, Gabbard shared an article about how pregnant individuals infected with the delta variant of the coronavirus are more likely to have severe cases of COVID-19.
“Pregnant PEOPLE?” Gabbard wrote. “Read that headline again. Some hate women so much that they literally want to erase even the word ‘woman’ from our vocabulary.”

Forget the pandemic. Forget the sick parents. Forget the children. Forget the hospital workers. Gabbard is most upset about the gender inclusive language being used to talk about the issue.
How about we take this to the next level?

Of course, her outrage is nothing new. In her final weeks in the U.S. House of Representatives, she introduced the “Protect Women’s Sports Acts,” which aimed to limit protections under title IX of the Education Amendments to “biological sex as determined at birth by a physician,” effectively stripping trans and gender-nonconforming students of their rights.
And 24 hours after leaving the U.S. House of Representatives, she went on Tucker Carlson‘s show to rant and rave about the House’s change on gendered language, claiming it denies “the very biological existence of women.”
Now, here are some responses to Gabbard’s “pregnant people” tweet…
What do you do about people who are pregnant but don’t identify as female? Pretend they don’t exist? Enforce society’s gender roles on them?

Thanks for making this country even more divisive. Can’t you find anything more important to discuss? Healthcare? Pentagon wastefulness? Environment?

Actually it’s because trans men and non binary can get pregnant
It has nothing to do with hating women, and saying it does sets up trans people to receive a lot of hate.
Please don’t promote bigoted language.

I feel like the Delta variant being more dangerous to pregnant people is way more important than the term “pregnant people” itself. Talk about priorities. This is just lazy bait to attract a reactionary audience

Come onnnnnnnn it’s literally the smallest thing why are you getting so heated over non-binary people existing?

This ain’t it. There are some people who are not women who can be pregnant. The language used is about being inclusive.

The article is written by a woman.

Does this affect your daily life in any way? No? Okay then, let’s move on.
Show your relevance by fighting for the things that *are* affecting everyone’s quality of life, i.e., M4A, police brutality, financial inequality for starters.

Sorry Tulsi but this ain’t it, this is clearly more of a gender-neutral language thing than a hating women thing.
And from a language/grammar perspective it’s also accurate, unless you’re implying that someone who is pregnant isn’t a person?

I love that she tried so hard to pretend not to be right wing and was exposed so early and so completely that she had to drop out of the election.
barryaksarben
Whoever put her up to joining the democratic party just to run to steal votes must have assumed we are as stupid as republican voters. they were schooled quite quickly when her faux campaign never got any real traction. She could no more hide her horrible personality than trump can hide his fat gut with those long ties. She is a LOSER and she doesnt even know to just fade away

It’s more informative to check the time in the Russia when considering when her tweets are sent out. The Russians tell her what to tweet, especially when it comes to these “wedge issues”. She is and always has been a Russian plant; She’s been moderately successful in her mission, and they are still milking her to try to promote instability in the West. Let’s hope her usefulness to the Russians is coming to an end – what are her latest non-doctored poll numbers?
Jack
Seriously! The only thing shocking is that the Russians were stupid enough to put this bish on the payroll. Like she had ANY credibility with anyone in America. She’s a nut job.

Tulsa is a troll. Conflating these items is bizarre. She does realize, however, that the overreach of leftist social engineering resonates with a lot more people than Queerty readers realize. Expect to see a lot more attacks on just how mean the far left is and watch the far left take the bait and deliver more nutty stuff to hate.
Cam
@LumpyPillows
Yeah, Tulsi resonates so much that she was polling at UNDER 1%.
LOL!!! Have a seat.
LumpyPillows
I don’t like Tulsi and would love to see her replaced by a real democrat. Seriously, you have lost it. You and your nutty, fringe friends have truly lost touch with reality. Tulsi, unfortunately won reelection just last year. Try again, or better yet, dry up and blow away.
LumpyPillows
Actually, Tulsa did not get reelected last year. I stand happily corrected.
barryaksarben
Oh yes, OUR overreach as opposed to the sick demented shit coming from the right this minute. A anti abortion law with no provision for incest or rape victims? That is some vicious Taliban style law right there buddy. Your pillows are lumpy for a reason – no one will sleep with you TROLL! Or how about exposing school children to a deadly virus so a couple of govs can feel they have a shot at the white house. Nothing venial there. Or their lawyers wanting to not only roll back gay marriage but to recriminalize gay sex. Go to some other website with your pathetic sad comments
barryaksarben
You outed yourself fool. You say you are happily corrected that she did win reelection. Hm. again go elsewhere gop troll
Cam
@LumpyPillows
The right wing troll is so used to lying that it had no problem lying and claiming Tulsi was popular, when she wasn’t.
your troll game is sad and weak.

moondowner’s syndrome? she’ll start making random 911 calls next.
