On March 15, Kelly spoke at length about Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), repeatedly deadnaming and misgendering her. Discussing a March 11 committee meeting incident, Kelly praised Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) for intentionally misgendering McBride and repeated, “Sarah McBride is a man,” several times. Kelly used increasingly crass language to disparage McBride, saying, “You're wearing a fucking dress and you've got a dick,” and calling transgender identity a “fetish.” The segment, which lasted over 15 minutes, continued to direct hate toward McBride and spread further anti-trans misinformation.

Kelly has repeatedly targeted influencer Dylan Mulvaney. In an interview with commentator Link Lauren and podcaster Christian Toto, Kelly mocked Mulvaney's new creative projects, saying, “By the way, Dylan Mulvaney, for those of you who don't know, is a man pretending to be a woman.” More recently, Kelly called Mulvaney's partnership with Versace “a colossal blunder” and referred to Mulvaney as “a man who poses as a woman and gets off on diminishing women.” [Sirius XM, The Megyn Kelly Show, 3/20/25, 5/12/25]

And shame on him for cheating.” She and Knowles discussed the possibility of a league specifically for trans people, failing to note that Sullivan's opponent had competed in a coed tournament just seven days before refusing to spar with her trans opponent.
