As attacks on hospitals across the country providing gender-affirming care services to trans children increases, with the latest target being a hospital in Ohio, far-right Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson is adding fuel to the fire.

During a segment on his show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, on Wednesday, Carlson, who has often made anti-LGBTQ+ comments, attacked hospitals providing gender-affirming health care to transgender young people. 

Carlson said that being transgender is a fad, and he repeatedly claimed that gender-affirming medicine harms children and called it a “crime.” He also described being transgender as a “fad.”

Following a series of tweets from right-wing extremist influencer Matt Walsh accusing Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee of opening its gender-affirming care division for financial gain, Carlson joined online trolls in targeting the facility.

Here he is endorsing violence against people. 

As a result, the hospital received an influx of hate and vitriol, leading to its having to shut down its website, as the Daily Beast reported.

Carlson directs his viewers to engage in threatening behavior with a wink and a nod.

Why does the FCC allow him to be make these threats and the harassment. Why hasn't Fox license been suspended? 

Quoting a soon to be released report from the state… “Hate crimes cause trauma to the individual victim and can spread fear, feelings of isolation, and insecurity throughout the wider targeted community.” yet he continues to make these veiled threats.

there has been other hospitals that have been harassed and threaten, such as Akron Children’s Hospital and the Boston Children Hospital.

Carlson continues to lambaste the hospital with false claims that doctors across the country are “drugging and mutilating” children.

For months, conservative hate groups have attempted to spread a conspiracy theory that hospitals are conducting genital surgeries on minors...

[…]

Trans rights advocates say these "mutilation" conspiracy theories aim at generating outrage and inspire attacks against medical facilities and professionals providing essential health care to trans children and adults.

He is spreading fear, and stirring up violence against trans people. Last year we broke records on the number of trans people murdered and we are on the way to equal or break that record again.
