Georgia Republican Representative and QAnon devotee Marjorie Taylor Greene is once again in the internet's crosshairs after absurdly claiming to feel "threatened" by transgender women.
Greene shared her fears in a tweet that, as usual, made very little sense and made absurd claims about transgender women replacing cisgender women.
Greene made her claims while quoting a tweet from Fox News host Tucker Carlson attacking Admiral Rachel Levine, the Assistant Secretary for Health for the US Department of Health and Human Services, who is trans.
See Greene's tweet below.
As a woman, I feel threatened because biological men are aggressively replacing women.\n\nAll of my life, as an American women, I\u2019ve been equal in every place to men, but not anymore. https://twitter.com/tuckercarlson/status/1506300057745862665\u00a0\u2026— Rep.

"All of my life, as an American women, I’ve been equal in every place to men, but not anymore."
What that second sentence means is anyone's guess.
But as for the first, Greene's fear has absolutely no basis in reality. According to the UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute, which tracks LGBTQ issues, there are an estimated 1.4 million transgender people in the U.S. out of a population of 329.5 million.
Transgender people couldn't replace cisgender people if they tried.
But it surely sounds good to Greene's fanbase of cartoonishly bigoted far-right fascists, for whom the equally absurd White nationalist conspiracy theory of the "Great Replacement" of White people by people of color is gospel, and to which Greene was surely dog-whistling in her tweet.
The Tucker Carlson tweet on which Greene's tweet was based shared screenshots of two since-deleted tweets attacking Admiral Levine, one in which White nationalist Charlie Kirk lambasted USA Today for selecting Levine as one of its Women of the Year, and another in which right-wing Christian satire website The Babylon Bee misgendered Levine.
The issue of Levine's selection has had a transphobic bandwagoning effect among many on the right, a thing Greene is of course always loathe to pass up.
On Twitter, her latest transphobic tweet drew no shortage of criticism.
She should feel threatened because she's so stupid and so many people hate her.https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1506302276532674568\u00a0\u2026— Mimi Madeira (@Mimi Madeira) 1648054246
Tweeting the same old thing.. expecting a different response! Once again get some new material.— Deb (@Deb) 1647965691
Hmmm... Let me try to see if I can understand you, despite the grammatical errors, OK? You've always been equal to men, but now you feel threatened because men are replacing women? So you're not equal to men, actually? WTF are you talking about? You sound like crazy. Believe me.https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1506302276532674568\u00a0\u2026— \u262d T\u044feaso\u0438ous T\u044faito\u044f T\u044fump \u262d (@\u262d T\u044feaso\u0438ous T\u044faito\u044f T\u044fump \u262d) 1647973078
WTH does that even mean?— Betsy Happe \ud83c\udf3b (@Betsy Happe \ud83c\udf3b) 1647965836
What? As a woman I feel ashamed for all women when you tweet.https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1506302276532674568\u00a0\u2026— OverRunByDogs (@OverRunByDogs) 1647975296

1. It's American WOMAN.\n2. That's a lot of nonsense to unpack. You've been equal to men, but not any more, because trans women exist? \n3. They're "aggressively replacing" us? What do we become when our replacements arrive? \n4. Why is your womanhood so fragile that it'shttps://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1506302276532674568\u00a0\u2026— Miz Parker (@Miz Parker) 1647974403
OMG WHAT DRUGS ARE YOU TAKING?\n\nTHIS IS UTTER GIBBERISH.https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1506302276532674568\u00a0\u2026— Paul (@Paul) 1647994099
Of course this makes no sense whatsoever. At least you are consistent.— perpetuallycurious (@perpetuallycurious) 1647977309
Can someone please tell me what she is saying here? My computer burned up and died when I ran this statement through Google Translate.pic.twitter.com/ShrubMEIdb— Soros Employee of the week (@Soros Employee of the week) 1647970913
Greene's tweet comes just weeks after her personal account was permanently banned by Twitter for repeated violations of its COVID-19 misinformation policy.
