In a post on Facebook on Tuesday (6 August) which was also cross-posted to X/Twitter, someone named Rob Anderson shared a photo of Tate in what appeared to be a pair of Speedos, also nicknamed budgie smugglers in Australia, and zoomed-in close on his crotch area.

“I guess she forgot to wear her fake,” Anderson captioned the photos, alongside an aubergine emoji, misgendering Tate – who identifies as a cisgender man – and implying that there was no male genitalia present, thus making the controversial figure trans.

Anderson also said Tate was among a number of people who are notable for being “part of the inverted show”.

Several of Anderson’s followers commented that they believed in the conspiracy too, with only a number of people pushing back, leading Anderson to say: “Don’t like what I post, think it’s crazy, get off my page. I don’t care, it’s the truth.”

Anderson further claimed that Tate is transgender in order to “blaspheme the Father”, referring to God.

When asked if he supports transgender people, Tate said he “supports individual liberty” because he is “a libertarian”.

However, he has also said that YouTuber Mr Beast and trans influencer Kris Tyson were part of a “psyop” to normalise transgender people among children.

They are coming for your children, everybody at home. Your children are the future which they want to control,” he claimed.

Tate is also a self-proclaimed misogynist and claims to be the “pinnacle of masculinity.”

      It’s still unpleasant intolerance, so not funny. Not suddenly ok because the target is normally the assailant on this front.

        Ah, so you were trying to defend him. I see. Your initial comment didn’t made that clear.

          No, I’m saying we shouldn’t care about his junk, unlike him and his followers. It’s stooping to his level.

            I don’t care about his junk. I care about making a human trafficker self conscious about his junk. I would have to stoop much, much lower to get to his level.

              The problem with him is the human trafficking, dick head bit. His junk is immaterial to that.

            Yes, you are. Because you’re completely ignoring the fact that people simply call out his hypocrisy. You can’t be some sort of self proclaimed alpha male or trans hater if you’re either a small dick guy or a trans male.

              He might see himself as an alpha male, but the rest of us see him as a dick head. I’m sure there a lots of small dick guys who are dick heads and think they are alpha males. I see no reason to believe there aren’t trans men like that too. Pointing out the hypocrisy won’t change them. Even if they had massive junk, who cares? They are still dick heads to avoid.

                le sigh… Yes, they can be that, but not without being hypocrites. That’s the point and why people focus on that / making fun of him. Please stop being obtuse, it’s not that deep.

                  And if we mock him for being dickless, doesn’t that make us hypocrites? He mocks trans and men who don’t want to be like him. How about we just keep calling him a criminal scale dickhead regardless. Let’s avoid the trans baiting.

                    No, it doesn’t, because we just use what he thinks are valid reasons to attack others, which means it would also upsets him if fired back at him. You’re arguing like racists who claim that calling someone a racist is also racism.

                No? Their whole concept of an alpha is to be the more superior being compared to others, which would mean they’re better in every aspect, including dick size.

        It’s like laughing as your enemies launch nuclear weapons at each other. Still gonna get fallout.
