A CNN panelist lost what little mind he had left when another analyst dared to call transgender women “boys” - which, of course, is exactly what they are.
Shermichael Singleton was in the middle of making one of the most simple and innocent statements you could possibly make: "I think there are a lot of families out there who don’t believe boys should play girls' sports.” He made this comment in the context of talking about men being in women’s sports, and how many American voters found this to be a major issue in the presidential election.
That’s when Jay Michaelson’s brain seized up and caused him to start yelling hysterically at Singleton for daring to speak the truth on this issue.
"They’re not boys," Michaelson yelled while slapping the table. "I’m not going to listen to transphobia at this table."
"When you use a word that's a slur, I'm going to interrupt!" Michaelson continued. "They're not boys. They're not playing girls' softball. I'm not going to sit there and listen to that."
"I am NOT going to listen to transphobia at this table!"

But that’s not where this meltdown ended. Singleton proceeded to speak yet more truth by saying that Donald Trump’s ads that showed Kamala Harris supported sex change operations for prisoners prompted people to take a firm stance on this issue.
“Regular people with children look at these things, and they say, ‘You know what? This is a bit too far. I do not agree with this. I don’t like this. I think Democrats have gone way much too much to the left on social issues.’ They’re uncomfortable with it… You may disagree with that reality, but that’s why Republicans kept running those ads over and over and over again,” Singleton said.

After hearing that healthy serving of truth, Michaelson’s frail little mind blew up in outrage again, this time claiming that people who voted with truth weren’t “regular people.”
“It’s not regular people," Michaelson responded. "There’s no consensus that these are actually boys. This whole thing about trans girls is a canard. We’re talking about a tiny, tiny sliver of the population."
Actually, there is a consensus that these are boys, and that its not just a tiny sliver of the population. The United freaking Nations highlighted that men are stealing medals and awards from women in athletic competitions. Is Michaelson all of a sudden going to ignore that organization's study?
In all honesty, he might, because he is so blinded to reality and so obsessed with believed a lie.
