In 2022, Charlie Kirk came to the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville as part of Turning Point USA’s “Educate Don’t Mandate Tour.”
Charlie spent an hour and a half speaking to the crowd and answering questions from individuals — many of whom disagreed with him.
During the question and answer portion of the evening, Charlie was asked about letting men who claim to be women access women’s showers, locker rooms, bathrooms, and women’s sports teams.
In his answer, Kirk discussed fairness in women’s sports and said that these situations force women to “live under the tyranny of men who think they’re women”
It’s worth pointing out that most Americans agree that athletes should compete according to their biological sex — not their gender identity.
In 2021 Arkansas passed Act 461 to prevent male athletes from competing against girls in women’s athletics at school. This good law protects fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas.
And in 2023, Arkansas passed Act 317 to protect privacy in public school locker rooms, showers, restrooms, changing areas, and similar facilities by requiring public schools to designate these facilities for “male” or “female” use.
Charlie Kirk was tragically murdered on September 10 during an event on a college campus in Utah.
