Hate influencer Chaya Raichik – who goes by “Libs of TikTok” online – is trying to take her show on the road, and it doesn’t appear to be going well.

Raichik gave a speech yesterday at the Indiana Memorial Union at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, alongside Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN).

During her speech, she ranted about “pornographic” books in schools and moved on to her hatred of everything “woke.”

Some students started laughing.

“Um, do you have a question? Is something funny?” she asked, apparently not expecting people to find her over-the-top concerns funny.

“How do you define wokeness?” someone in the back asked.

Raichik tried to respond: “Wokeness is the destruction of normalicy [sic] and… And… Um… Uh…” More students started laughing.

“… of our lives,” she said, apparently thinking she was finishing a sentence.

    Semantic point:

    Your two points are the same thing. The old vernacular, a woman is someone who was born with the outward appearance of a biological female.

    Biological sexes aren’t transphobic to acknowledge, it’s just transphobic to insist biological sex match expressed gender. Gender is purely the social construct identity side of things, so saying the feminine gender is the same thing as saying the societal constructed norms often seem as female.
