'Last mistake you ever make’: Trans activist Tara Jay threatens anyone barring her from using women's bathrooms

Jay also urged LGBTQ people to buy guns for their own safety as she added, 'This is a call to action. Arm up'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A trans activist, identified as Tara Jay, created panic among netizens after she warned that if anyone tries to stop her from using a women's restroom, "it will be the last mistake you ever make." Jay, who identifies as a female and began transitioning in 2017, made the horrifying statement in a viral video circulating on the Internet. Many were quick to demand police action against Jay in tweets that misgendered her while pointing out the online threat should not to be taken lightly. One concerned Twitter user commented, "People who make threats online often follow through. This man should be surveilled."

Jay's now-deleted video, which was shared with her 2.4K followers on TikTok, had her saying, "If you back a wild animal into a corner, they're going to become a dangerous animal. So if you want to die on that hill of yours, of righteousness and moral majority, then you go right ahead. I dare you to try and stop me from going into the women’s bathroom. It will be the last mistake you ever make. I dare you to try and stop a transgender woman, in my presence, from using the bathroom. It will be the last mistake you ever make."

'This is a call to action. Arm up'

Jay then told LGBTQ people to buy guns for their own safety as she added, "This is a call to action. Arm up. Go out buy a gun, learn how to use it." The video was taken down later but the clip was shared by Oli London, a social media influencer who underwent 18 surgeries to look like BTS singer Park Jimin, who tweeted and shared the video writing, "Tara’ who identifies as a lesbian, issues threatening message to women."

London told Fox News, "This is just another example of a biological man feeling emboldened to invade women’s spaces in the name of ‘self-identity’ and threatening women’s safety without any fear of repercussions," and added, "In today's America, people like this man, who identifies as a Poly Trans Lesbian, are encouraged to do this and praised as ‘stunning and brave’ for entering women’s spaces. Anyone that calls out men like this are immediately deemed ‘transphobic’ and ‘hateful bigots’. This is a harmful narrative, but sadly has become all too common across society. We cannot continue to allow women to be endangered by men like this in the name of gender ideology. Enough is enough, protect women’s spaces."

'As a woman, I am scared'

The statements also raised concerns from many Twitter users. One of them wrote, "Hopefully someone reported him to the police. He called people to arms." One more wrote, "This man needs to be watched." While an individual commented, "As a woman, I am scared of this guy." Another said, " That dude's videos were horrifying! He was threatening and calling for gun violence over his "rights" to use a woman's bathroom with your daughters. What about women and young girls safe spaces???"
