Bethenny Frankel Challenges A Netizen To Nominate Her For Cancellation After Alleged Transphobic Comments

Bethenny Frankel is not afraid of getting canceled following her controversial remarks last week.

The television personality doubled down on her stand after her alleged transphobic comments about pronouns and gender identity created a commotion online by telling one netizen that she is not afraid of the cancel culture.

"True. Nominate me for [cancellation]…there are like five others before you so take a number," she wrote on Twitter.

Another netizen commented on her other tweet to tell her that it is "time to learn." The same user urged her to be humble.

"Humility can be a good thing. [It] doesn't mean you're weak. You were wrong with your comments," the user added.

However, Frankel argued that what she said in the podcast was just right.

"Listen to the podcast. Then comment," the "Real Housewives of New York City" alum replied. "I was absolutely not wrong. And I’m going to discuss this again this week. Thankfully I have a platform to clarify what the media loves to distort. @justbpodcast ps. I’m not afraid of [cancellation] so [I'm] not afraid of charged discussions."

Another defended Frankel and said she couldn't believe the outrage because Frankel simply stated her thoughts and opinions. The netizen supported Frankel and said it's good that people are coming up with new pronouns to express their identities, but not everyone should be forced to do the same.

"Zero point zero but that doesn’t sell magazines & newspapers….people have been afraid to have real conversations. If you didn’t read your script before speaking, people get so excited. Come at me…I’m here..and the conversation will continue," Frankel wrote in another tweet.

The Bravo star's tweet came days after she opened up in a podcast episode about her 11-year-old daughter Bryn's classmates using pronouns at school.

"We have to go into the fact that I did a Zoom for my daughter’s school and [had] the pronouns conversation with each teacher, each parent, each child," Frankel was quoted as saying by Us Weekly. "And my daughter says in school, too, that everybody has to say their pronouns. And my daughter didn’t even know what hers were."

She went on to share a summer camp story where she heard about a "person with a penis, who identifies as being a girl," stay in a bunk with other girls. For her, it was not appropriate because "the other girls saw a penis" and at the age of 9 or 10 they already knew that "a penis goes into a vagina" and "they might not want that visual so soon."

She explained that if she had a transgender child, she would have her go to another camp with kids in the same situation.

"Not every situation is set up to make someone thrive. I know parents who won’t send their children to very athletic school because they’re … not jocks so they’re gonna set them up for not feeling successful. … You can’t make every situation fit. The camp didn’t think it through," she added.
