Tuberville calls transgender people ‘deranged’ on Senate floor: ‘Bring back mental institutions’
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, the Republican nominee for governor of Alabama, criticized transgender people, their parents and their doctors on the Senate floor Thursday.
Tuberville claimed transgender people are mentally ill and a danger to others.
He said that airline pilots who are transgender or wear fursuits are “deranged” and suggested more LGBTQ people should be institutionalized.
“It is the best interest of our country to bring back mental institutions as a normal part of our society, instead of sweeping it under the rug,” Tuberville said, standing next to a sign that said “Transgenderism is a Mental Illness.”
“I want to be clear about this gender confusion,” he said.
“It is not normal. It is a cry for help, and our society needs to stop affirming people who are suffering from this mental illness.”
Its creepy how obsessed they are with transgender people. Why are they so obsessed? To what point and purpose would institutionalizing these people solve? Like, I’m not seeing how transgender people existing harms people.
Also, who’d pay for this? We don’t even have universal health-insurance in America. So, what? We involuntarily incarcerte transgender people and then charge them for their own extermination treatment?
Also also, how would the 5th Amendment come in?

"Destruction of Institutions and Erasure of History
Upon seizing power in 1933, the Nazis targeted the vibrant trans community in Weimar Germany by shutting down safe spaces like the Eldorado nightclub and raiding the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexual Science). Led by Magnus Hirschfeld, this institute pioneered early gender-affirming surgeries and trans rights advocacy; its library was burned by Nazi students, destroying decades of medical records and research in an act of “memoricide.”
Legal Persecution and Concentration Camps
The regime revoked the “transvestite certificates” that had previously allowed some trans people to live openly, leading to widespread arrests. Trans women were often prosecuted under Paragraph 175 (criminalizing homosexuality) or Paragraph 183 (public indecency/cross-dressing), while trans men faced harassment and forced detransition. Many were sent to concentration camps such as Buchenwald and Mauthausen, where they were subjected to forced castration, torture, and murder; notable victims include trans women Liddy Bacroff and H. Bode. "
Nazis still doing Nazi stuff.
Anyone in the government could get rid of these things whenever they wanted, IF THEY WANTED TO
