"Actor's Controversial Gender Transition Stance Sparks Backlash and Drama with Jonathan Van Ness"
Critics are speaking out against nonbinary Netflix star Jonathan Van Ness after he labeled actor Dax Shepard's questioning of minors undergoing gender transitions as "transphobic." Lawyers and advocates for women who have detransitioned argue that Van Ness's claims ignore the experiences of those who regret their early hormone therapies and surgeries. They argue that questioning the access to such procedures for children is not transphobic but rather a necessary conversation to prevent irreversible harm. They believe that Van Ness's labeling of skepticism as "cruelty cloaked in altruism" is dismissive of the detransitioners' stories and experiences.
