A photo of social media influencer and self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate has gone viral for reasons he will probably not welcome.
Tate, 37, a former kickboxer, has amassed a large following primarily of young men and boys with his outdated views on manhood and how to treat women.
A new photo shows him sporting tight, pink swimwear. He appears to have little in the way of a bulge in his crotch.
Incredibly, this has prompted a conspiracy theory among some right-wingers that Tate is possibly trans.

I dont think Andrew Tate is trans but I do think he'd have a successful pole vaulting career https://t.co/qzSJaV59Oq

Others have speculated as to whether Tate was “tucking”. This is what drag queens do to hide their genitalia when performing in tight-fitting clothing.

Suggestions included:
“Mini Diver”
“Mother Tucker”
“Tina Turn-Off”
“Flat Benatar”
“Andee Taint”
Of course, no one should face body shaming. The size of someone’s penis is also irrelevant to their worth or value as a human being. By the same token, no one should build an empire by spouting misogyny and influencing a generation of impressionable young men on how to denigrate women.
RelatedFellas, is it gay to have sex with a woman?
And although it’s fun to mock Tate, let’s not also forget he’s facing some very serious charges.
He’s currently unable to leave Romania after his arrest last year. Tate and his brother Tristan were charged in June 2023 with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. Both men deny the charges.
