Bethenny Frankel (50), known from the reality show “The Real Housewives of New York City”, was criticized by several LGBTQ spokespersons after she made insensitive comments regarding pronouns and gender identity. It reports Page Six.
The criticism came after a recent episode of her podcast «Just B» was posted. In the episode, Frankel talked about the theme in connection with his daughter Bryn (11).
The most dramatic divorces
– We have to go into the fact that I did a teaching at Zoom for my daughter’s school and had pronouns conversations with every teacher, every parent and every child, Frankel began, seemingly frustrated.
Furthermore, she said that her daughter had said that even at her school, everyone must say their pronouns.
– My daughter did not even know what her was, and told me that she knew what she is, or thinks she is, but she has never said it out loud. There has not been a conversation. So she said she did not know, she continued.

Violent criticism
The reality star also questioned the inclusion of transgender people in school sports, and later suggested that one’s gender identity could simply be a “phase”.
The statements were not well received and she received fierce criticism from LGBTQ spokespersons on Twitter.
– Called me Donald Trump with a wig
“I was going to quote the transphobic language you used in the horrible introduction to this episode, but it’s too painful to write,” one person wrote.
Hi Beth! I was going to quote the transphobic language you used in the horrific intro to this episode, but it’s too hurtful to even put it in writing. Maybe do the bare minimum of research before you speak to your audience? https://t.co/x56eMpCOMH

– Obviously not so happy
In the podcast, the Skinnygirl founder also shared a story from a summer camp that she viewed as complicated anatomy, sexuality and gender identity.
Gets shocked: – What’s going on?
– There is a girls’ camp and a person with a penis, who identifies as a girl, went to the camp and lay in the bunk with the girls. They saw her. Although the person had a male anatomy but identifies as a girl, the other girls had to see a penis. They are nine and ten years old, so the parents were obviously not so happy about it, she said.

Frankel pointed out, however, that Bryn, with whom she shares ex-husband Jason Hoppy (51), have a solid understanding of gender identity and the importance of using the correct pronoun.
Still, she suggested in the podcast that she most likely will not let her daughter sleep in the same bed as a trans child.
Reveals drama behind the scenes
Defends the statements
Despite the fact that several believed that Frankel made transphobic and hurtful statements, she herself believes that she has not done anything wrong.
It informs Page Six.
«Listen to the podcast. Then comment. I was absolutely not mistaken. And I will discuss this again this week. Fortunately, I have a platform to clarify what the media likes to twist and turn», she writes on Twitter.
