Daily Wire podcast host Candace Owens responded to a student’s question about how she would react to transgender students who feel “victimized” by her presence by advising them to “get a helmet, man.”
While speaking at a Turning Point USA event for the “Live Free Tour” at the University of Albany on Wednesday, Owens informed the student that “life’s tough.” Owens is currently eight months pregnant and has two children at home.
The student asked, “What do you have to say to the trans students on this campus who feel actively victimized by your presence here?”
“Life’s tough, get a helmet, man,” Owens told the student. “I’m too pregnant for this.”
I am over 8 months pregnant with two toddlers at home. If you are a 20 year old adult who feels “actively victimized” by my standing on stage to speak about social and economic conservatism, it is because your parents failed you, entirely.

It is not my job to coddle adults. https://t.co/JePdQDjEdC
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Owens wrote, “If you are a 20 year old adult who feels ‘actively victimized’ by my standing on stage to speak about social and economic conservatism, it is because your parents failed you, entirely.”
“It is not my job to coddle adults,” Owens added in her post.
Owens has spoken about the impact of transgenderism on society and in April, during a portion of her podcast, she compared it to being “worse than Jim Crow laws because we are mutilating the bodies of children.”
