Sean Strickland goes nuclear on transgender community in latest social media rant, questions getting "attacked" for opinions: "Russia send the nukes"

Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland has stirred controversy once again with inflammatory social media posts targeting the transgender community. Known for his provocative remarks, Strickland’s latest comments on X/Twitter have drawn widespread backlash.

The MMA fighter openly questioned societal acceptance of transgender individuals, using derogatory language in his posts. In one, he mocked, writing:

“Its so odd when I get attacked by the "trans community" You cut your c**k off and got implants and I'm suppose to be offended by what you call me.. I'm just wondering how society hasn't put you in a mental institution yet… I make fun of you and you cut your c**k off lmao.”

Strickland went further, suggesting such individuals should be institutionalized and sarcastically commented on the idea of transgender people holding positions of power:

“Could you picture someone waking up saying: "I think im going to cut my c**k off today, grow my hair out, get breast implants, take drugs so I sound like a c**kless man and then I'm going to run for f**king congress and I'm going to win" My god Russia send the nukes it's time.”

The ex-middleweight champion took to X to describe Kennedy as “inauthentic,” humorously comparing him to a social media influencer:

"Every time I've met Tim Kennedy, all I can think is, 'Goddamn, this man is so inauthentic it feels like I'm talking to a white girl getting ready to make an IG [Instagram] reel. He would make a solid politician, but he's a really nice guy lol!' Internet trolls or legit accusations?"
