Actress and Democrat activist Alyssa Milano sent out what was arguably the most bizarre tweet on International Women’s Day.
She even ended up apologizing for it later.
The “Charmed” star began the day by sending out the typical “attempt to be woke” message we see from celebrities every single day.
“My transgender sisters! I am celebrating YOU this #NationalWomensDay!” tweeted Milano.
A user then asked the actress if she was transgender —and Milano’s response was confusing, irritating, logic-defying, and, above all, priceless.
“I’m trans. I’m a person of color. I’m an immigrant. I’m a lesbian. I’m a gay man. I’m the disabled. I’m everything. And so are you, Kirk. Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know or understand. No one wants to hurt you. We are all just looking for our happily ever after,” she wrote.

The tweet brought mocking on Milano’s head from people on both sides of the political aisle.
“You are a rich, white celeb who’s the worst type of feminist,” wrote musician Joy Villa in response.
WTF That’s not how it works @Alyssa_Milano
You don’t get to identify as it just because you empathize.
Ur not gay, who’s been through that life.
Ur not a person of color, been through it.
You are a rich, white celeb who’s the worst type of feminist
STOP👏🏾THIS👏🏾HYPOCRISY👏🏾 https://t.co/zzpngNO7pi

“Justified” star and “Gosnell” director Nick Searcy called out Milano for her attempt to be a victim.
"Wait, I'm a victim too!" — @Alyssa_Milano https://t.co/4UbZ1hleA9

Check out some other reactions below:
Look you could have said "I support" rather than "I am." Because at the end of the day, you will never face the difficulties a trans woman, or a black woman, or a lesbian will. So saying "I am" comes off as condescending & gross

You are diminishing trans, immigrant,lesbian, gay, disabled, when you are none of those. Please don't diminish their value. You are making them feel small.

After being called out enough, Milano addressed the quote — and apologized for offending anyone.
“I’m glad this tweet invoked conversation. I’m so sorry it offended some. I see you and hear you. But just a reminder, empathy is not a bad thing. Nuance is important and literal interpretation is not always intended. And I can identify with and not identify as. Both are powerful,” the actress wrote.

Wow, so everyone is entitled, but persons of color and real transgender persons are more entitled. I just say wow, this is how millions of years of evolution and centuries of scientific progress manifests itself. Victim hood really rules. Everyone is chosen, but only if I say so. Pathetic, really pathetic. What’s the point of public discourse when you are shut down for having a different opinion.
You are no better than the mob roaming streets in German cities in the 30s.
Hypocrites, every one of you.
People are being driven nuts by the constant barrage of psychological Balkanization propaganda 24/7.
please God save us from stupid people, the rest I would take care of myself.
Yes she has a huge psychological problem? She’s madly in love with me. BLESS HER. I’m just waiting to be spoilt ! Two choc ices and a jar of Pontifract Cakes!
You must be so glad that you have managed to maintain your gorgeous looks over the years. You are just a bully and a hipocrite.
Why would she want to bring attention to herself, she lost that young girl cuteness and is looking more like a cow ala beyhar on the view.
I’m not GoldElephant I’m Fernando Illescas. How this thing could change identity?
She only stated what is learned only through a spiritual long way: We all are different faces of the same spirit. We are one (yoga). Is it so difficult to understand? Maybe it is for normal us citizen.
Stop making up new words that will only confuse normal thinking peoples. Shame on you ! Em what’s a THANG ?
I think Ms. Milano doesn’t quite get the Intersectionality thang.
Sure, only you are perfect in this world.
That is rather uncharitable of you to say.
Milano is white trash, a liar, and attempting to make herself relevant. She is NOT relevant, and she has a personal psychological problem…obviously.
lol isn’t she already Woke ?
Just another brain dead Liberal,” Nut Job”. Alyssa you are not what you feel you are. You are as God Created you! Wake up. This is just deranged liberal virtue signalling!
Funny! ^_^
She needs to cut back on the weed and the dope……
Some valid points, some not. I guess its hate speech what you write. You just can’t try to depict reality in shades of grey or nuance.
Hear, hear, brother! A white person is 3 times as likely to be murdered by a black person than the other way around. The robbery and rape stats are even worse. Whites bleed, while others bleat about some hypothetical privilege. The only privilege white people in America used to have was a higher culture that stressed self-reliance, honesty, kindness, hard-work and self-betterment. Gone now.
Btw, anyone can look up the stats using Department of Justice Crime Statistics by race. The ugly truth that the propaganda machine has been hiding for 50 years.
Just ignore the blood and suffering of white victims so that you can embrace the lie we all get 24/7 from the propaganda machine. Google DOJ crime stats by race. Whites are the victims of murder, rape and robbery by blacks at horrifyingly high rates. It is 3-to-1 for murder, for instance. And you want to get all outraged over some hypothetical “privilege”? Monstrous.
Holy f’n sh!t are you kidding???
I’m 47 and white and know with absolute certainty that white privilege is real. Whites are being told that they are being victimized but those of us that believe in our own abilities and drive to succeed aren’t afraid of a little leveling of the playing field. It’s sad that you buy into the victim mentality
These people are so hypocritical. They keep pushing on society that people can be whatever they feel they are. A man can walk into a woman’s shower room because he thinks he’s a woman. People can actually be female one day and male the next, you know fluid. People are now coming out as being whatever race they feel they are and wanting to cripple themselves because they feel they are disabled. So they should be welcoming Milano’s comments, because that is what they have promoted and encouraged people to be like.
Plus, some are so upset that she wouldn’t know what it is like to be a victim, when the biggest victims now are white people. We get blamed for all of their problems and white kids are being taught in school that they have to carry the world burdens and hate themselves because of being white. So, yes white people know what it feels like to be treated unfairly due to the color of our skin. The difference is that we don’t expect others to take the blame for our problems and still help minorities and try to make up for wrong done hundreds of years ago, even though our own race was in slavery too and that so many of us came to America as victims of oppression, slavery and starvation too.
Yeah Frank, goad people to desperation and depression through bullying, and then put them in a strait jacket. You are lucky to be strong, healthy, of good standing, and entitled to snarky, undignified remarks. Hypocrite. And so is everyone who is mentioned in this article.
If she starts painting weird, off the wall pictures, we will know she has joined Carrey and Rosie and needs a padded room.
Didn’t Milano do a movie in which she engages in lesbian and bi menage trois? If she played it in a movie doesn’t that make her LGBTQ? I have to ask are the LGBTQs upset because in Milanos paradigm they are the same as all the others?
