JK Rowling speaks out about death threats over transgender comments
'Media Buzz' host Howard Kurtz discusses the controversy over the Harry Potter author's remarks about transgender people on 'The Story.'
A far-left media host sparked a food fight on Twitter after she enraged liberals by criticizing "birthing persons" language.
Progressives turned on "The Young Turks" co-host Ana Kasparian after she called transgender "inclusive" language "degrading" to women.
"I'm a woman. Please don't ever refer to me as a person with a uterus, birthing person, or person who menstruates. How do people not realize how degrading this is?" she blasted.
"You can support the transgender community without doing this s---," Kasparian added.

Her tweet blew up Twitter, drawing 13 million views in less than 24 hours. Offended progressive journalists and transgender activists accused Kasparian of being "right-wing."
"Didn’t realize TYT [The Young Turks] was right-wing now," one progressive activist commented.
"Oh f--- off with this stupid made up bulls---. Trans folks are having their existence criminalized in state after state and you want to whine about this s---," liberal writer and civil rights attorney Alejandra Caraballo tweeted.
"Get a grip," transgender journalist and MSNBC contributor Katelyn Burns slammed.
Mike Figueredo, host of a leftist political news show, claimed Kasparian was using a play "right out of the right's anti-trans 'war on women' playbook."
Other liberals claimed the "Young Turks" host was getting upset over a fake problem.
Progressive attorney Justin Kollar tweeted, "Literally no one on earth is telling you that you cannot call yourself a woman or that they won’t refer to you as a woman. A completely made up problem."
"No one is doing this unless speaking in a group that is gender expansive," author Melissa Anelli responded before calling Kasparian's remarks a "logical fallacy."

A progressive psychiatrist for transgender youth also was skeptical of Kasparian's tweet.
"Who called you that? I’ve only ever heard that used when referring to a population, not an individual person. Obviously, those terms are meant to be precise to include all people who meet one of those characteristics, when needing to discuss a relevant topic," Jack Turban tweeted.
Kasparian's commentary also prompted conservative support and mockery.
"A sensible, mainstream take... that is going to absolutely trigger the s--- out of Very Online progressives," libertarian journalist Brad Polumbo responded.
"Your side is going to roast you now. I hope you're ready for the tolerance," British rapper Zuby replied.
"Your comment section has turned into a lunatic asylum. Some people just can’t accept your remarks," journalist Ian Miles Cheong replied.
Virginia state delegate Nick Freitas referenced the infamous exchange between Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson at her confirmation hearing to ridicule Kasparian's media outlet.

"What's a woman? Asking for TYT viewers," he tweeted.
