Lionel McGloin may be a genius.
McGloin is known for his “man on the street” style interviews that subtly call out the hypocrisy of his subjects, and a recent series of interviews at New York City’s Pride festival may be his best yet.
In one clip, McGloin interviews a young woman wearing a tiny, rainbow-hued Pride-themed dress.
“To all the beautiful trans women out there, tell me how your transition went,” he says in his usual deadpan manner.
“Wait a second,” the woman said, impatiently reaching for the microphone, “I have a question. Why are you asking me this question?”
“We’re interviewing transgender women and others,” he replied.
“I’m not a transgender woman,” she replied angrily.
“We fully support it, we fully support it,” he continued, refusing to back down. “We just want to talk about the journey that’s been through and the challenges that we’ve had.”
“I was born female and have never had a gender transition,” she says.
As McGloin continues to purposefully misinterpret her, she grows increasingly frustrated and begins to say exactly what conservatives have been saying all along.
“You thought I was a guy?” she asked, offended.
Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report said he was very impressed with McGloin’s work.
“Oh, so you think there’s a difference between men and women,” Rubin said, adding: “When someone thinks you’re a transgender woman, or a man, all of a sudden it makes you feel uncomfortable.”
