Bethenny Frankel Doubles Down On Statements Regarding Gender Identity And Pronouns

Sep 28, 2021 By Ashley B What do you think?

Former Real Housewives of New York star, Bethenny Frankel, lived up to her season 8 tagline โ€œIf you canโ€™t handle the truth, you canโ€™t handle meโ€ after making controversial comments regarding gender identity and pronouns.

The conversation:

On her podcast,ย Just B with Bethenny Frankel, the former reality tv personality detailed an experience she had with her daughter, Bryn, Bryn’s classmates, and school staff virtually.

“We have to go into the fact that I…[had] the pronouns conversation with each teacher, each parent, each child” via Zoom.

She continued, “And my daughter didnโ€™t even know what hers [pronouns] were. โ€˜I [Bryn] know what I am or what I think I am, but I have never said it out loud. It hasnโ€™t come up for me.โ€™ So she said she didnโ€™t know.”

This one time at summer camp:

The Skinnygirl founder repeated a summer camp story that she had heard about a child “with a penis” being assigned to the girls’ bunk.

“Itโ€™s an all-girls camp and a person with a penis, who identifies as being a girl, went to the camp and was in the bunk with the girls. And the girls saw her, because itโ€™s her, because itโ€™s a male anatomy but identifying as a woman… So, the other girls saw a penis.”

“Theyโ€™re 9, 10 years old, so the parents obviously werenโ€™t that happy. A penis often goes into a vagina often so they might not want that visual so soon.โ€

The Big Shot With Bethenny Frankel host also claimed she heard the child with a penis who was in the girls’ bunk was “making out with a lot of different girls at the camp.”

“Itโ€™s an interesting conversation about a girl, female anatomy being in a male anatomy bunk or vice versa. OK?”

She didn’t stop there:

Providing a hypothetical, B noted if she had a transgender child, she would โ€œwant my child to go to another camp where there were kids in the same situation,โ€ adding, โ€œNot every situation is set up to make someone thrive.”

“I know parents who wonโ€™t send their children to very athletic school because theyโ€™re not jocks. So theyโ€™re gonna set them up for not feeling successful.”

“The camp didnโ€™t think it through.โ€

I kissed a girl and I liked it:

โ€œWhat happens if a child isnโ€™t ready to make a decision? Donโ€™t a lot of girls in college have a lesbian phase and then they realize that theyโ€™re not? Maybe theyโ€™re going through something. Maybe they want attention. Maybe theyโ€™re going through a bad breakup. What is the age that someoneโ€™s absolutely positive who they are?”

“Thereโ€™s got to be gray area. โ€ฆ Iโ€™ve heard of situations when [people] unmake that decision.

“What does that mean for that camp? What does that mean for that bunk? Maybe a mother isnโ€™t ready for her child to see a penis in a bunk and understand that child identifies as a girl.โ€

Taking it to Twitter:

Theย Naturally Thin author made it clear she wasn’t phased by ‘cancel culture.’

True. Nominate me for cancelationโ€ฆthere are like five others before you so take a number. ๐Ÿ˜˜ https://t.co/tGOODK5gy7

The RHONY alumni doubled down on her comments…

Listen to the podcast. Then comment. I was absolutely not wrong. And Iโ€™m going to discuss this again this week. Thankfully I have a platform to clarify what the media loves to distort. @justbpodcast ps. Iโ€™m not afraid of cancelation so not afraid of charged discussions. https://t.co/FDVsKUCWan
