Transphobic MAGA Fan Fired From Job After Trans 'Drag Race' Star Calls Him Out For Harassing Her

Jasmine Kennedie, who came out as trans while competing on season 14 of RuPaul's Drag Race, filmed her interaction with a Trump supporter who stalked her and called her slurs while she was waiting for a train in New York City—but she got the last laugh.

A Trumper who harassed a trans RuPaul's Drag Race personality has reportedly been fired from his job over the incident.

Jasmine Kennedie, who came out as trans while competing on season 14 of the show, filmed the encounter she had with a MAGA devotee while waiting for a train in New York City.


In the clip, which Kennedie posted to Instagram and X, the man could be seen following Kennedie both on and off the train, seeming to stalk her while calling her transphobic and homophobic slurs.

Kennedie was returning home to New Jersey after performing at The Playhouse in the West Village at the time of the incident. In her post, Kennedie said the man called her a "tr*nny" and a "f**got."

In video clips of the altercation she shared, the man can be heard uttering pro-Trump language in a threatening way:

“This is Trump’s America... Trump’s your daddy, Trump is your f*ckin’ daddy.”

Kennedie told LGBTQ+ news outlet PRIDE that she decided to "match his energy" and quickly stood up for herself.

When he pointed out that she has "a d*ck," she says she quickly replied:

"Yes, and it's probably bigger than yours."

After Kennedie informed him she would be going to the media with the footage she took, the man's demeanor instantly shifted to nervous acquiescence.

At one point, he could even be seen trying to fist-bump Kennedie in an attempt to smooth things over, but she refused to back down because, as she put it in her video, "these people want us to be scared to live our lives... I was not going to let that happen."

Kennedie also wondered aloud if the man was actually attracted to her and harassing her because of his discomfort with his own sexuality.

It seems that might be a solid theory. After her video went viral, the man was quickly identified as an employee of the very, very gay David Barton Gym (now known as Gym U) in the very, very gay Chelsea section of Manhattan.

Kennedie says she was contacted by the gym and informed he was fired the next day.

Online, Kennedie received an outpouring of support.







Kennedie thanked her fellow transit passengers who stood up for her during the altercation, and urged “all trans women and trans brothers and sisters: do not let them stoke fear in you.”

Trump Repeats Debunked Claim He Predicted 9/11 'A Year Before' It Happened In Bizarre Rant During Iran Remarks

President Donald Trump was called out for repeating his debunked claim that he predicted the September 11 terror attacks "a year before" they happened—all while speaking at the White House about his war with Iran.

Trump was addressing growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. While the strait falls under international maritime law, Iran maintains substantial influence over the corridor.

MAGA Influencer Says Trump Seems 'Demonically Possessed' In Brutal Post Slamming Iran War

A 2024 study found a stronger belief in the existence of demons and adherence to a "shadow gospel" was associated with more favorable views of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump. The shadow gospel refers to versions of Christianity and conservatism conjured through anti-liberal messages with little to no basis in actual scripture.

Trump traded on the beliefs of Christian nationalist factions among his MAGA minions by calling the Democratic Party "demonic."
