Erika Kirk's critics don't run out of issues to throw at her. There have been wild rumours and conspiracy theories involving Charlie Kirk's widow, and among them is questioning her assigned sex at birth by alleging that she's a transgender person.

Why Do Some Think Erika Kirk Is A Transgender?

Erika Kirk is publicly identified as a woman. She is Charlie Kirk's wife and they share two children together.

Despite having kids of her own, there were rumours questioning her femininity.

One claimed that Charlie 'married a dude.' The X user claimed that 'Erika shows many biological male markers that women simply don't have.' They alleged that she had 'feminization surgeries and HRT (hormone replacement therapy).'

Another post shared on a Transvestigation Disclosure page claimed the same. The post featured several snaps of Erika when she competed for the Miss Arizona USA 2012 pageant and won the title.

According to Karen Starbucs, Erika has a straight collar, and her legs do not align with female anatomy. Additionally, her jaw line and thighs are allegedly similar to men.

'That is a man,' Starbucs wrote.

Another user agreed with the post, claiming that Charlie was 'so feminine and emasculated' and that was because he was a 'transgender handler.'

The issue has also reached Reddit. The discussion was filled with mixed opinions. Some agree that her features are not aligned with a typical female, while others defend Erika, saying she's a woman but 'filter attractive.'

Is Erika Kirk a Transgender?

Erika Kirk was born Erika Lane Frantzve. She is a beauty titlist and a mother of two.

The rumours that she's transgender are pure speculation and have no substantial evidence. There are no records indicating she has gone through a gender transition. So, there's no basis to label her as transgender.

Also, in August, she shared a video on Facebook to mark her and Charlie's daughter's third birthday. The clip documents the growth of their firstborn and includes a clip of Erika at the hospital when she was about to give birth to her.

According to Erika, she had to endure a 48-hour labour before being put to an emergency Cesarean section, leaving her 'a scar that tells a story I would live a thousand times over.'

Erika Kirk Wild Conspiracy Theories

The rumours that Erika Kirk is transgender may be wild, but it isn't new. Charlie Kirk's widow, thrust into the spotlight following his assassination in September. Her incessant public exposures have gained her thousands of supporters and critics.

She has been subjected to various backlash for different reasons. For instance, many claimed that she was 'everywhere but with her kids' due to her attending various events lately.

She also raised eyebrows for her interactions with married men. Many claimed that her viral hug with JD Vance was inappropriate because she had just lost her husband and he is married.

Erika seemed unbothered by the public scrutiny, or maybe it was just normal for her to hug men that way, since she did the same when she embraced Jason Aldean at the Fox Nation 2025 Patriot Awards on 6 November.

Erika hugged Aldean longer than expected and rubbed his back during the embrace, earning a reaction from his wife, Brittany Kerr, who just stood behind them.
