Madonna Speaks Out Against the Spread of Anti-Trans ‘Mob Mentality’: ‘It Breaks My Heart’

Madonna defended the trans community against the "mob mentality" being used against them in a social media post on March 6.

In a post to her Instagram Stories on Thursday night (March 6), Madonna shared her candid thoughts on the current wave of anti-trans extremism making its way around the globe. The “Ray of Light” singer went on to call out politicians and pundits specifically in the U.S. leading the charge in the weaponization of ignorance against the community, saying the “Lynch mob mentality is at an all-time high.” She continued by adding that those participating in the public denigration of trans people’s identities was equally disheartening. Among the long list of things the president has done to attack trans folks since he took office again in January are a series of executive orders that call for a complete ban on transgender officers serving in the military, removing federal funding for gender-affirming care for minors and issuing a nationwide ban on trans athletes competing in women’s school sports.
