In the latest controversy surrounding the culture wars, a transgender activist known as Jay posted a video online issuing explicit threats in response to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s reaffirmation of single-sex restroom policies in the U.S. Capitol. The fiery video, which originally appeared on TikTok, gained widespread attention after being shared by the account Libs of TikTok on X (formerly Twitter).
This video comes after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Speaker Johnson took a firm stance on the issue, clarifying that access to restrooms in Congress would be determined by biological sex—a policy that has reignited debate over privacy, safety, and common sense in public spaces.
Jay, however, took the conversation to a disturbing level, issuing what can only be described as a veiled threat to those who uphold such policies. “I dare you to try and stop a transgender woman in my presence from using the bathroom. It will be the last mistake you ever make,” Jay said, leaving no room for interpretation.
What began as a grievance over restroom policies quickly escalated into something far more alarming. Jay’s video included what they called both “a call to action and a call to arms.” This activist went so far as to urge members of the LGBTQ community to purchase firearms and prepare for potential conflict.
“You need to arm up. Plain and simple. Go out, buy a gun, learn how to use it efficiently through and through,” Jay stated. “Because the time to act is now.”
This isn’t just hyperbole; it’s a dangerous escalation. Encouraging people to arm themselves over the question of who uses which bathroom takes the culture war from ideological debates to a potential flashpoint of violence.
Jay’s rhetoric also took a divisive turn, targeting Christians, conservatives, and Republicans, accusing these groups of being all talk and no action. “They just talk a big game, that’s all they do. But heaven forbid you do something in my presence, you’re going to know what fear actually feels like,” Jay said.
In response to this growing tension, Speaker Mike Johnson stood by the commonsense restroom policy, stating: “All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings (like restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms) are reserved for individuals of that biological sex.”
This policy reflects the reality that most Americans support—maintaining privacy and safety in public restrooms and facilities. Conservatives argue that such policies aren’t about discrimination but about preserving boundaries that make sense for society as a whole.
Jay’s call for armed resistance over restroom policies underscores a troubling shift in the activist left. Instead of engaging in productive dialogue, extreme voices are increasingly turning to threats and intimidation.
While many in the LGBTQ community may not share Jay’s rhetoric, their inflammatory words highlight a broader issue: how far some activists are willing to go to impose their will.
It’s a stark reminder of why policies like those in Congress are necessary—not just to uphold common sense but to push back against the kind of dangerous extremism that threatens to tear at the fabric of civil discourse.
