Senator Tuberville targets ‘furry’ pilots in speech attacking transgender people
Tuberville linked transgender people to violence and said airline workers could be furries, while calling for life prison terms for doctors who provide gender-transition care.
- Senator Tommy Tuberville claimed on the Senate floor Tuesday that transgender people are becoming violent, warning airline passengers could fly with pilots who have a "deranged fetish" for dressing as animals and alleging "many" flight personnel are part of the furry community.
- Republicans have increasingly fixated on furry culture, which many in the GOP characterize as deviant. Tuberville spearheaded a 10-month blockade of over 400 military promotions in 2023 to protest policies he labeled "woke."
- Citing an unidentified 2022 study, The Alabama Republican argued transgender youths face radicalization risks. He proposed the United States bring back mental institutions, claiming it is in the country's best interest to treat "gender confused" individuals.
- Experts dismissed the claims as political, noting the Department of Health and Human Services report used dubious methodology. Epidemiologist Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz told the Guardian the study was "probably the most obviously political study" he encountered.
- Tuberville has alleged suspects in high-profile attacks were involved in "transgender furry culture," claims often relying on internet hoaxes such as the debunked narrative that schools provide litter boxes for students who "identify" as animals.
