On a 4 March episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, Rogan made several unfounded claims targeting trans people while speaking with his guest Steve-O.

Comedian and stunt performer Steve-O, known best for his role within the ‘Jackass’ franchise, was attempting to share a story of an encounter he had with a trans person who described to him a “level of oppression that genuinely f*cking broke my heart.”

When Steve-O said that the trans person mentioned they weren’t allowed to use the restroom at their place of work, Rogan interjected with “Not true. They’re just not allowed to use the bathroom that doesn’t align with their biological s*x.”

Rogan continued on a tangent, saying “I genuinely think there’s people that feel like they are in the wrong biological s*x, right? But there’s also people that are f*cking p*rverts and they have a thing called autogynephilia… and they’re creeps. And so, you give them a f*cking Willy Wonka golden ticket to go into the women’s locker room and the women’s bathroom and stare at women and pretend you’re a woman when you’re just a crazy man.”

Autogynephilia is a debunked pseudoscientific theory that American medical and psychological associations reject as untrue and unsupported by scientific evidence.

Later on in the episode, Rogan questions Steve-O, saying “Do you know who’s k*lled more people than ICE this year? Trans sh**ters. Do you know the majority of these high school sh**tings have been transgender people?” before using “psych medications,” “giving them a bunch of crazy hormones,” pre-existing “mental struggles,” and being “ostracised from society,” as evidence.

Of the 129 school sh**ting incidents reported this year alone, only a few have been conducted by a sh**ter who identified as trans. Mass sh**ters are not disproportionately transgender and the overwhelming majority of mass sh**tings are conducted by cisgender men. There is no connection between gender-affirming medications, trans-related mental health issues, and sh**tings.
