Bethenny Frankel Responds To Backlash For Her ‘Transphobic’ Comments: “Come At Me”
Looks like Bethenny Frankel is not backing down from the backlash she has been receiving after her comments about transgender people.
Bethenny took to her twitter on Monday and tweeted “Nominate me for cancelation,” and she also added another tweet saying, “There are, like, five other before you so take a number.”
A few twitter users began to call her out by telling her she was wrong and then she urged people to “hear her out.”
“Listen to the podcast. Then comment. I was absolutely not wrong. And I’m going to discuss this again this week,” she shared, adding, “Thankfully I have a platform to clarify what the media loves to distort. @justbpodcast ps. I’m not afraid of cancelation so not afraid of charged discussions.”
Frankel even requested for her listeners to compete in a challenge saying, “People have been afraid to have real conversations. If you didn’t read your script before speaking, people get so excited.
“Come at me,” she continued. “I’m here … and the conversation will continue @justbpodcast.”
Frankel was being slammed on the internet for speaking on how the use of pronouns is being taught to children in school, specifically to her 11-year-old daughter.

She also touched on a camp experience where she heard a “person with a penis” who identified as a girl was put in a bunk bed with other girls.
“The girls saw her — because it’s her, because it’s a male anatomy but identifying as a woman — so the other girls saw a penis. They’re 9, 10 years old, so the parents obviously weren’t that happy,” she had shared.
“She also hasn’t seen a penis. So, in a camp, she’d see girl parts so I think these conversations are also fluid,” she said. “It’s an interesting conversation about a girl, female anatomy being in a male anatomy bunk or vice versa. OK?”
