    Evidently it's now *scandalous* to say that a child probably shouldn't be making their own life-altering decisions at 3 years old. 🤦‍♂️ Mario Lopez and Candace Owens discuss.

    Mario Lopez said it’s “dangerous” for 1. parents to support their trans kids and 2. to believe women who come forward with accusations of sexual misconduct.

    Mario Lopez’s suggestion that parents ought not accept their trans kids — kids who face staggering levels of suicide, bullying and other hurdles — is cruel. He conflated sexual orientation and gender identity, which is a pretty big tell that ya don’t know anything about this.

    A reason why the movement exists is because women and survivors of sexual misconduct are rarely believed. We just want the same credibility and respect Mario Lopez believes boys deserve when we come forward. Few men have *actually* been held accountable.

    It's unfortunate that someone who is so involved with like would be so misinformed about kids. I wish that he would reach out to for some guidance on the difference between sex and gender identity
