Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, who has a rich history of mocking transgender people, visibly upset many of his staffers by floating that “big hairy men” may try to gain entry to women’s homeless shelters, a remark that many present took as a shot at transgender women.
According to the Washington Post, staffers reacted viscerally, with one woman leaving the meeting in protest.
Earlier this week, Carson also lamented that society could no longer differentiate between men and women.
While running his failed presidential campaign, he called transgender people “abnormal” and his department rolled out a proposal in May that would allow federally funded shelters to lump transgender women in with men, forcing shared bathrooms and sleeping quarters.
A HUD senior official denied the account to the Post, saying that Carson “does not use derogatory language to refer to transgendered individuals.”
Somebody’s feeling guilty about his fetish… Or is uncomfortable in his own skin…
The more creeps attack transgenders or gays, the more obvious these people are hiding their “predilections”.
Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you are a nut. In both cases you’re Ben Carson.
In related news, Ben “Uncle Tom” Carson also thinks the pyramids were built by the Old Testament figure Joseph to store grain.
If this nut had been my brain surgeon, I would not be sleeping well at night.
