Actor also rails against « hypocrisy of the left-wing media »
Former “General Hospital” star Ingo Rademacher posted a three-minute video on Monday addressing backlash to a transphobic post the actor reshared on his Instagram over the weekend. But the actor, who recently left the ABC soap after raising public objections to COVID vaccine mandates, used demeaning descriptions of a trans woman as “a transgender” and said it’s not “OK to call a transgender an empowered woman because where does that leave women?” Despite those statements, Rademacher insisted that he’s not transphobic and apologized for his previous post to Cassandra James, a trans woman who co-starred on “General Hospital.” He apologized for not crossing out the word “dude” in a tweet authored by a conservative commentator about Rachel Levine. Dr. Levine is the U.S. assistant secretary for health and the first openly trans four-star officer to serve in any of the nation’s eight uniformed serivces. Allie Beth Stuckey’s original tweet sneered at the notion that Levine could be considered an empowered woman while Winsome Sears, Virginia’s newly-elected lieutenant governor who is the first Black woman to fill the position, could be called a “White supremacist.
