Joe Rogan calls out leftists who treat trans people as ‘protected class’

During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the commentator expressed disgust at officials gawking at the rarity of so-called "women [who] rape and murder a woman," in reference to a case in which a man stalked, raped, and strangled his ex-girlfriend and then began identifying as a woman years later.

"I'm all for people being able to express themselves and live however they want, however, there was a story that I was reading — about this woman that brutally murdered and raped this woman, and about how unusual it is for a woman to brutally rape and murder another woman," Rogan said.

"Well, it turns out it's not a woman. It's a trans woman, but they have to call it a woman. So they're saying it's a woman," he continued. "So there's people that are phrasing it in this woke speak."

Last week, the first openly transgender woman on death row, Amber McLaughlin, made headlines for calling on Missouri's governor for a pardon due to mental illness.

McLaughlin, 49, was convicted of the murder of ex-girlfriend Beverly Guenther after sexually assaulting her and stabbing her to death in St. Louis County on Nov. 20, 2003, reports the Daily Mail. The felon transitioned at least 14 years later, as 2017 prison records show a male-presenting mugshot and birth name.

"It's wrong when anyone's executed regardless, but I hope that this is a first that doesn't occur," said federal public defender Larry Komp of the killer. Even though McLaughlin committed the crime while living and identifying as a biological male, the government employee described the transition as courageous.

"Amber has shown great courage in embracing who she is as a transgender woman, in spite of the potential for people reacting with hate, so I admire her display of courage," Komp said.

Corrections Department spokeswoman Karen Pojmann added to the sentiment, pointing out how "unusual" it is for woman-on-woman homicides to occur.

"It is extremely unusual for a woman to commit a capital offense, such as a brutal murder, and even more unusual for a women to, as was the case with McLaughlin, rape and murder a woman," Pojmann said.

Rogan tore into the statements referring to the death row inmate as a woman.

"No, it was his ex. That was his ex-girlfriend that he killed, that he murdered and raped. He was a man at the time, he was dating her. Like, to say, 'Oh, it's so unusual for a woman to do that,' it's like, what kind of game are we playing?"

Rogan continued, referencing the story of another transgender-identifying criminal who impregnated multiple female inmates.

"You're talking about crime," he added. "Like that person that went to jail and said he was a woman, and started banging all the inmates and got two of them pregnant — that person brutally murdered his mother with a knife. It's a horrible story."

"The cops that came to the scene said it was one of the most horrific things they had ever seen, stabbed her from her face down to the bottom of her legs — but you can say you're a woman and all of the sudden you're in a women's prison," Rogan said.

The UFC commentator continued on to say that transgender individuals are viewed as a "protected class," and decried the fact that "you can't even criticize them, even if they're murderers, even if they've brutally raped and murdered their ex-girlfriend, you still have to call them a woman."

"Even if they were a man at the time, you still have to call them a woman. 'It's very rare for a woman to do this.' Is it? Is it also rare for a woman to have a d*ck?" he joked. “What the f*ck are we doing?”
