On Twitter, Matt Walsh, a right wing person, has posted and called out a person named Eli Erlick, who seems to be offering to send people extra hormones they have on hand to people near and far. Matt claims hes reporting them to authorities to sending drugs without a precription over states lines. I apologize for not providing a link, but if you check twitter, its there. Matt is claiming hes being attacked as transphobic. ---

[Here’s a link.](https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1555656973772853248) From [this article](https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-daily-wires-matt-walsh-tried-to-dupe-trans-people-into-joining-his-anti-trans-documentary), I surmise that Walsh is out to get Eli Erlick because Erlick exposed Walsh’s documentary scam. Walsh and his producer pretended they were making a transgender-sympathetic documentary in order to get trans people to participate. The real objective, though, was to make an anti-trans film. Erlick warned others, so now Walsh is apparently seeking revenge. Real classy guy, that Matt Walsh. 🙄 ---

No, what Walsh saw was a Tweet claiming Erlick was working with a distribution network to get hormones out to those living in states trying to criminalize hormone therapy. Walsh did not witness Erlick actually sending those hormones. Of course, publicly offering to send Rx meds to people they were not prescribed for is illegal, but the claim that Erlick actually sent those prescriptions is not correct…you know, _technically_. ---

Walsh is also responsible for this bit of transphobia masquerading as a children’s picture book: > **[Johnny the Walrus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_the_Walrus)** > > Johnny the Walrus is a children's picture book written by American conservative political commentator Matt Walsh. It allegorically compares being transgender to pretending to be a walrus, through the story of a child named Johnny.

Amazon reclassifying the book from Children to Politics prompted your typical rightwing trollery.

Ah, damn, this thread had me confused because I thought Matt had finally been banned from Twitter, but turns out I was thinking of a different hatemonger and provocateur, James A. Lindsay. Ah well, it’s only a matter of time before Mr. Walsh gets his turn. ---

Anyone else is none of your fucking business. I notice these transphobes hammering on the semantic issue of what the word “woman” means never seem to apply the same sort of scrutiny to questions like “What is a mother?” or “What is a daughter?” I mean, those are both words with very clear and specific biological meanings, as are all standard words denoting genetic kinship. Yet for thousands of years, humans have gone around calling people “mothers” and “fathers” and “children” who have no immediate genetic kinship at all. ISTM that anybody who is okay with calling, say, an adoptive mother a “mother”, despite that individual’s complete lack of the standard biological qualifications for “motherhood” in that relationship, should have no problem with calling a transgender woman a “woman”. ---

> [@SuntanLotion](#): > > Someone called Blair White says Eli is a self admitted rapist. But is it true? …I really hope that this thread doesn’t just become a repository of unfounded accusations against Erlick because Erlick has come out and stated that everything she is being accused of is untrue. > At the moment White is on Twitter trying to whip up the hate-mobs on Erlick. It isn’t pretty. And White has a history of making wrong accusations and later having to retract. People like Walsh and White are not acting in good faith. If they are speaking, the odds are pretty good they are probably lying. ---

Well…someone photoshopped a fake tweet where Matt defended Josh Duggar. It was reporter and Twitter posted that it is fake. I dont see all the hate coming only from Matts side. Its also coming from the other side, but I guess thats ok. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/matt-walsh-accuses-trans-person-of-crimes-on-twitter/969267.md?page=2)
