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.”

Dem Senator Drops F-Bomb In Fiery Video After Trump Calls For Congressional Democrats To Be Hanged

Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said "maybe it's time to pick a f**king side" in response to President Donald Trump's call for a group of congressional Democrats who are military veterans to be executed after they reminded U.S. troops that they must disobey unlawful orders.

Senators Elissa Slotkin (Michigan) and Mark Kelly (Arizona) joined Representatives Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan (Pennsylvania), Maggie Goodlander (New Hampshire), and Jason Crow (Colorado), all of whom are veterans. In a video message, they noted that the Trump administration is "pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens."

Sometimes you don't know what you don't know until someone shows it to you in a TikTok video.

For instance, a person might not know about the possibility of having an astigmatism, which is an ocular condition that causes blurriness in vision, and the blurriness worsens with bright, contrasting lights. Blurring taillights at night, especially when it's raining, is a common occurrence among those with astigmatism.
