On Wednesday’s live stream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle reacted to a video circulating online showing transgender comedian Grace Freud joking about murdering children during a recent set.
Although details about the incident are scarce, footage on social media appears to show Freud calling for violence until transgender individuals can use any bathroom they want.
“I think that we’ve experienced the last handful of years where trans people have tried to get our acceptance by being nice, being accessible, being the kind of person that you would be comfortable with babysitting your kids or whatever,” Freud said in the video.
“I think we should start killing kids until they let us use whatever bathroom we want,” he continued.
Sheila and Lise condemned the comedian’s insensitive remarks, noting that a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge by a transgender person occurred only weeks ago.
“Imagine being one of the parents in Tumbler Ridge and hearing that,” said Reid.
“Imagine just being a parent in general and hearing that,” said Merle. “Spectacularly tone-deaf and disgusting and gross and unforgiveable and really not societally acceptable in any civilized society,” she added.
Merle also noted: “That’s disgusting. Go check this guy’s hard drive. Guys like this are being hired by school board’s across the country. This is who’s influencing the kids.”
The performance reportedly occurred at a U.S. comedy venue, though the specific club and city have not been disclosed in available reports or the viral video that surfaced on February 24, 2026.
