Megyn Kelly has made an enemy out of transgender influencer Josh Seiter after she accused the former Bachelorette contestant of “making a mockery of women.”

The SiriusXM radio host slammed Seiter earlier this month on The Megyn Kelly Show, where she even compared the ex-reality star’s transition to blackface.

“Can we please talk about The Bachelor[ette] contestant who now says he’s a woman, which we all know on this show is not possible!” Kelly said.

“Look at this guy — it’s unbelievable what they can call a woman these days!”

Kelly later asked, ‘How is this any different to minstrel show blackface? The whole thing is designed to mock and diminish us.”

She added: “No actual trans person would look like that or behave like that. He’s making a mockery of women.”

“As a woman, I don’t like people comparing my gender identity to racism or racist displays. It just doesn’t make sense to me,” Seiter said.

The 37-year-old explained: “Being trans is simply me embracing how I feel on the inside, and deciding to dress and act in a way that most aligns with my gender identity. It is not me mocking a group of people, as is the case with blackface.”

Seiter remarked, “She’s just using my name to boost her show ratings, but I think she needs a lesson on gender identity, and I’d be happy to give it to her.”

The former reality star also offered to be a guest on Kelly’s show to discuss the matter “woman to woman,” adding, “I just don’t think she understands the science.”

Seiter appeared on Season 11 of The Bachelorette in 2015, competing for the heart of Kaitlyn Bristowe — but was eliminated in the first week.

The now-OnlyFans creator went on to bring up Kelly’s daytime show, which was cancelled in 2018 after she suggested it was OK for white people to wear blackface at Halloween.

“I guess she would know all about blackface, since her NBC show was cancelled when she made remarks about it being acceptable for white people to dress up as black celebrities for Halloween,” Seiter told the Mail.

“So it’s not surprising Megyn Kelly is being transphobic on top of racist.”

Seiter declared: “I am a trans woman, and I challenge anyone to prove I am not.”
