Megyn Kelly has caused a stir after posting a photo of herself wearing a MAGA-style red hat with “Make Women Female Again” written on it.
The hat was an obvious homage to Donald Trump’s infamous “Make America Great Again” hat, and her critics were quick to point out that the two had feuded in the past.
The statement on the hat was a clear reference to the ongoing “culture wars” in the US over transgender people and identity.
Kelly, a former Fox News host, has often raised the issue on The Megyn Kelly Show, which she hosts daily on SiriusXM.
“Thanks for a HUGE week on the @MegynKellyShow,” Kelly captioned the photo she posted to Twitter on Sunday.
“In Miami, we’re celebrating our friend’s 50th birthday and looking forward to another great week of shows starting Monday,” she added.

The hat was an obvious homage to Donald Trump’s infamous “Make America Great Again” hat, and her critics were quick to point out that the two had feuded in the past.
The most common reaction to the image was comments about the polarizing hat.
In a later tweet, Kelly linked to the online store she bought it from, called Adult Human Female.
The small brand was created by Kellie-Jay Keen, also known as Posie Parker, a British women’s rights activist who founded the group Let Women Speak and who has risen to prominence in recent months.
Parker identifies as a TERF, or trans-exclusive radical feminist, and has stated in large text on her website that “2023 is the year of the TERF.” Parker herself has been labeled an “anti-trans” activist by the left.
The controversial TERF movement has been attacked for being “transphobic,” refusing to include trans women under the purview of feminism.
Parker appeared on Kelly’s show last month in a segment where the two expressed similar attitudes about gender and identity.
“I’m a really confident woman, I’m very outspoken,” Parker said when Kelly asked him how she came to create Let Women Speak and make the case.
‘I will speak my mind but I have a daughter who is introverted she won’t tell a man in her space to get out and so I thought I should step forward and if I’m not going to do it who is,” she added up to it.

Kelly was labeled ‘transphobic’ for calling out Anheuser-Busch CEO to apologize for Bud Light’s affiliation with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney
In a tweet on April 18, the podcast host responded to suggestions that her comments were transphobic, telling her 2.7 million followers on the platform that she “speaks the truth.”
Kelly’s views on trans issues led her to become embroiled in her own controversy last month.
She was labeled “transphobic” for calling on Anheuser-Busch’s CEO to apologize for Bud Light’s affiliation with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, sparking significant backlash from conservatives.
In angry comments on April 17 on The Megyn Kelly Show, she accused Mulvaney of “making a mockery of women’s and girls’ lives” and denounced the creator of Bud Light, saying, “Screw you and your stupid, empty platitudes.”
In promoting a trans woman who is “celebrated by the far left across the country,” Kelly said Anheuser-Busch had — in their own words — put themselves in the middle of a discussion that divides people.
Kelly’s critics accused her of deliberately misinterpreting Mulvaney, saying she came across as transphobic.
But in a tweet later in the week, she hit back, telling her 2.7 million followers on the platform that she was “telling the truth.”
‘Call me whatever you like. I speak the truth. And neither I nor the millions of other women (and men) who believe in biology/reality/honesty will be discouraged by your attempts to marginalize us with words like “transphobic,” she wrote.
