After Brittany Aldean (née Kerr) was criticized for her controversial views, the influencer is opening up about the backlash.
“I was extremely surprised. I, in saying my response, I never thought that there was anything wrong with it,” Aldean, 33, said during a Thursday, September 1, appearance on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight. “I think I’m advocating for children. I think that children should not be allowed to make these life-changing decisions at such a young age. They are not mature enough.”
The Youtube personality — who wed singer Jason Aldean in March 2015 — further added that she thinks it is “baffling” to allow a minor child to “choose their gender so young,” in comparison to age requirements for joining the military, purchasing cigarettes and driving a car.
“[There are] huge consequences [to gender-affirming surgery],” Brittany told Tucker Carlson. “And I think when you’re older, if you choose to make those decisions, by all means. But children are too young, not mature enough to make those decisions. And they’re life-changing, like you said. They may not be able to have children one day. There’s so many consequences to doing that at such a young age.”
She added: “And us as parents, us as a society, regardless of political status, should be able to sit back, speak our minds about it, and fight for these children.”
Brittany — who shares son Memphis, 4, and daughter Navy, 3, with Jason, 45 — made headlines earlier this month after she compared her childhood “tomboy phase” to that of someone transitioning.
“I’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life
