Transvestigators on social media started training their eyes on Erika Kirk roughly two months ago in mid-September, shortly after her husband, Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk, was
shot and killed in Utah. On Facebook and X, right-wing users began
spreading the rumor that Erika was an “invert” — a term conspiracists use to describe trans people — and derisively referring to her as “Erik.”
The “investigation” has shown no signs of slowing down since then, as X user
Audrey Rose Beavers noticed earlier this week, sharing a screenshot from a Facebook group titled “Transvestigation Disclosure NOW,” which has over 53,000 members. A user named Karen Starbucs
posted several photos of Erika Kirk from her days as a Miss Arizona pageant contestant, alleging they showed evidence Kirk is secretly trans. “[T]hat is a man. as most pageant winners are,” Starbucs contended, pointing to Kirk’s jawline, collarbone, and thigh gap.
