For those of you who don't remember Lindsay, you may have seen this clip.
00:00:05.240
Hello, my name is Lindsay Graham and I am a cat.
00:00:12.780
By show of hands, I'm curious, how many of you believe and confess that I'm a cat?
00:00:17.960
By show of hands, I'm curious, how many of you believe that your child or a child from
00:00:21.860
this school would believe that I'm actually a cat?
00:00:44.140
My little kids, I have a three, six and nine year old.
00:00:46.500
They've started to memorize that speech and they walk around the house saying, my name
00:00:52.780
So I guess I have to teach them about transgenderism sooner than I thought.
00:00:56.360
Well, you better because you said your youngest is three.
00:01:04.820
According to pre-K, public pre-K in certain states, your kid could be taught about transgenderism
00:01:11.000
What has the reaction been just in your local community to your magnificent speech in the
00:01:18.540
cat costume, which I would thank you for wearing on the show today?
00:01:27.540
Uh, the man that I was speaking out against, which is Paul Bixler, he's 72 years old.
00:01:32.440
He's lived a full life as a man, married to a woman, two children.
00:01:36.680
All of a sudden he has what I consider a mental breakdown.
00:01:40.780
And I was told that he's wearing his wife's clothing and he's now identifying as a woman
00:01:49.280
He's done nothing to, to really identify as a woman.
00:01:53.440
Not that that matters other than put on dresses.
00:01:56.600
And, uh, the community has been outraged and actually, you know, I'm sure you know this.
00:02:02.620
And so that little charade of mine, the meow, meow, it got a lot of attention, um, which I'm,
00:02:09.040
I'm fine with good and bad, but, but a lot of people in the community had no idea that
00:02:13.880
this man even existed and that he was attending all of the elementary school functions.
00:02:18.720
Spelling bees, carnivals, using the little girls' restrooms, by the way, at these events.
00:02:24.820
So it brought a lot of attention to the school district in a good way.
00:02:28.840
Um, more people started showing up to the school boards, the email, um, a lot of the,
00:02:32.740
two of the board members are very conservative and messaged me and said, we are getting flooded
00:02:37.900
Parents didn't even know that this man, that he was doing this.
00:02:42.900
So he's on a school board, um, of the district, which is oversees all of the elementary schools.
00:02:50.940
And by the way, you know, it goes beyond, he dresses as a woman and makes kids call him
00:02:57.400
He's advocated and voted for, uh, bills that allow children to identify differently at school
00:03:12.520
He wants gender to be fluid and non-existent and for men to be able to dominate girls in
00:03:22.620
For some reason, in my mind, he was a teacher, but no.
00:03:25.280
So if he's on the board, that means that he's actually setting the policy, which if he were
00:03:30.520
just a teacher for one classroom of kids, you'd say, okay, well, it's too bad for that classroom
00:03:34.740
and it's, it's going to be really hard though to, to get rid of a teacher.
00:03:38.200
You know, these unions are so crazy now, it's pretty much impossible to fire them.
00:03:41.240
But no, this is a person who's playing a role crafting policy in a, in a, an ostensibly
00:03:52.260
And so if he's crafting the policy, then he's shaping the whole education of all of the
00:04:05.280
I want to tell you something, Michael, this man went and got a harassment injunction against
00:04:10.900
me and he tried to serve me repeatedly at my home in front of my children.
00:04:16.240
And when that didn't work, he tried to serve me.
00:04:19.220
He did serve me at the next school board meeting because he didn't want me speaking out against
00:04:24.440
An elected official who doesn't like the opposition speaking out files a harassment injunction against
00:04:31.060
me and has a cop serve me publicly at the school board.
00:04:37.720
Again, that would be outrageous enough if he were a teacher because you'd say, well, he's
00:04:45.100
I have some right to, to say what goes on in the classroom.
00:04:51.780
This guy is so directly accountable to you, except what they want to do is they want to
00:04:56.580
take the power and then crowd out all the parents.
00:04:58.820
You're seeing this with all of the bills about not only the curricula, but about the books
00:05:02.560
in elementary school libraries around the country.
00:05:04.960
You're seeing the educators and the elected officials saying the people, the parents have
00:05:09.720
no right to determine what kind of books their kids are being taught.
00:05:18.040
And if you do speak up, you're certainly going to get targeted by the liberals and all of their
00:05:22.480
minions and, you know, he, his transition, if you will, has become a massive distraction
00:05:36.980
And he has been asked to step down simply because, you know, you're a distraction and
00:05:42.620
you're, we're not able to focus on the kid's education while you're sitting there in your
00:05:46.380
pearl earrings trying to be addressed as a woman.
00:05:50.000
And for that reason alone, we think you should recuse yourself.
00:05:56.240
He, he believes, no, I'm entitled to behave and act and look and vote on policies that
00:06:03.660
I believe in, whether or not my community supports me or not.
00:06:09.460
And, you know, you were, you were just talking about liberals and their mentality and how,
00:06:14.320
um, you're not, if you're not qualified to speak on something, you shouldn't be speaking
00:06:20.420
So for him to walk around the school and tell little kids to address him as a woman,
00:06:27.520
I think my favorite part about your entire political campaign here is the obvious provocation
00:06:36.320
And as far as I can tell, they have taken the bait on this, which is, Lindsay, you're dressed
00:06:42.500
in a way that is inappropriate, that it's inappropriate for you to dress this way at
00:06:48.420
And you say, go on, tell me more about dressing inappropriately.
00:06:56.640
Why don't I show up dressed as a drag queen next?
00:07:01.200
But yeah, they, um, the, there was a little bit of hate and mind you, the hate is, is minimal
00:07:06.740
because if I were to stop and waste my life arguing with liberals who will never change
00:07:12.140
their mind, I would dominate them easily, but you can't reason with them.
00:07:16.540
And so some of the comments were, your speech is ridiculous.
00:07:23.680
And I'm like, obviously men can't be women either, but you're willing to have that argument.
00:07:30.840
Well, the choice of the, the cat avatar, I don't know if this was intentional or not,
00:07:35.760
but it's profound in that one of the early national news stories about this weird kind of
00:07:41.940
identity dysphoria was from, I think it was about 20 years ago.
00:07:45.580
There was this character, I forget his name, but he went by Stalking Cat.
00:07:49.980
And he thought that he was a cat and he had, I think he won the world record for all of the,
00:07:55.060
the largest number of body modifications to look like an animal.
00:08:02.980
He was, he was part of the furry community, it turns out.
00:08:06.460
And he went down a sexually deviant rabbit hole of delusional identity that did not run
00:08:15.260
down to his benefit or the benefit of society at all.
00:08:17.600
And so when you show up to the school board and you draw this parallel with your cat costume,
00:08:26.160
In fact, there's recent precedent for just such an analogy.
00:08:31.220
And honestly, the, the cat costume was literally laying around because I had worn it for Halloween.
00:08:36.560
And, um, I want to give a shout out to my friend, Kristen Newton.
00:08:39.680
She loves you by the way, watches you all the time.
00:08:42.000
I wrote my cat speech, um, cause I needed it to be, I'm, I'm kind of hardcore.
00:08:48.580
And she's like, well, let's go in and edit and maybe take out some of these raw emotions
00:08:58.400
And it was just ironic that I had a cat costume laying around.
00:09:02.600
And, and Michael, this was the first school board I'd ever spoken at ever in my life.
00:09:10.880
It, well, yeah, you clearly knocked it out of the park.
00:09:13.460
Great job to your friend who edited the speech.
00:09:18.220
And it's, it's been one of the best examples of a broad nationwide phenomenon we're seeing,
00:09:26.820
And I wonder if, if this is catching on right now, if this is such a winning issue for conservatives
00:09:33.940
in Virginia, which is a pretty blue commonwealth, in Florida, in all over the country, if this
00:09:40.320
is such a winning issue because people don't have a problem with liberal leftist absurd policies
00:09:53.820
But they only start to have a problem with it when it affects them and their school districts
00:10:01.240
And all of a sudden, pretty, I was just with the Moms for Liberty the other night down here
00:10:09.060
You had people who were, who voted left for a lot of their lives who said, wait, what's
00:10:19.480
Well, and, and that's why it's okay to take the hate.
00:10:22.280
People call me, of course, you can imagine a transphobic and a homophobic all the time.
00:10:27.180
And I said, look, these are not the first drag queens to exist.
00:10:30.640
And, and they're certainly not the first transgender people to exist.
00:10:34.440
You notice that we have a problem when you try to indoctrinate our kids with it.
00:10:39.580
And that is the problem that I have and, and continue to have with Paul Bixler sitting
00:10:44.680
If he wants to dress like a woman in the privacy of his own home, well, that is a problem for
00:10:49.840
But when you bring it out into society and you sit on a school board and you dictate to
00:10:55.260
little children to call you a woman when they know, because they're not stupid, that
00:10:59.780
you're not a woman, you create a problem in society and you expect everyone else to fix
00:11:07.760
If you want to chop off your penis and wear lipstick and pretend that you can even remotely do what
00:11:22.980
And, and, and demand new rights that exist for you because you've created a problem for
00:11:31.200
This, this is a nuanced take that the libs don't understand that we understand, which
00:11:37.740
is we're not saying that five years ago is the first time ever that a man wanted to pretend
00:11:44.600
No, this phenomenon has been going on for all of human history.
00:11:48.300
The phenomenon of having sexually eccentric kind of desires and perceptions.
00:11:53.880
You go back and read Plato's Symposium and Aristophanes in Plato's Symposium describes soulmates as
00:11:59.400
being some people are a man and their soulmate is a woman and they're two halves and they
00:12:04.920
And for some people it's two women and for some people it's two men.
00:12:08.080
And there are all these ideas have percolated for a long time.
00:12:11.600
Eunuchs, transvestites, these ideas and these kinds of eccentricities, they've been around
00:12:17.580
The thing that's new is that we're pretending that it's normal.
00:12:22.060
The thing that's new is that we're pretending that this is conducive to human flourishing.
00:12:26.040
The thing that's new is that we're pretending that it's true, that a man can actually become
00:12:32.720
As you say, if some guy wants to put on his wife's blouse in his own closet, we're not
00:12:37.880
sending the morality police door to door to make sure that he's wearing overalls or blue
00:12:42.680
But when you come into the public square, you have a responsibility to observe the standards
00:12:49.020
and norms and rules and laws of the political community.
00:12:52.320
And it's not just the crazy libs who get to make those rules.
00:12:57.560
It's parents, parents like you, even parents who put on a cat suit to make a point.
00:13:08.680
