Brittany Aldean Doubles Down on Gender Stance: ‘Love Is Protecting Your Child’
By Movieguide® Staff
Just days after the media, fans, and peers attacked Brittany Aldean, the wife of country singer Jason Aldean, for expressing her gratitude towards her parents for not encouraging her to change her gender as a child, she released a new clothing line to help protect children.
Aldean received backlash for her comment, which many said was transphobic. However, Aldean stood her ground and advertised new “Don’t Tread On Our Kids” t-shirts to raise money for charity.
“Instead of getting twisted about the twisting of my words, I’ve chosen to bring some good out of it,” Aldean wrote in an Instagram below pictures of her new clothing line. “They say ‘Don’t Tread On Our Kids’ because that’s how we feel. Leave the kids alone.”
Aldean revealed that the proceeds would aid Operation Light Shine, a charity that fights human trafficking and child exploitation.
“Step out and stand up for what you believe…when you wear our newest Barbie-inspired collection!” she wrote in another caption, poking fun at Maren Morris, who initially labeled Aldean as the “Insurrection Barbie.”
Brittany Aldean, the mother of two young children named Memphis and Navy, said she would not back down on her stances, even if she receives ridicule.
“Advocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it ‘gender-affirming care,’ is one of the worst evils,” Aldean said. “I will always support my children and do what I can to protect their innocence.”
“Some parents want to be accepted by society so badly that they’re willing to make life-altering decisions for their children who aren’t old enough to fully comprehend the consequences of those actions,” Aldean added. “Love is protecting your child until they are mature enough as an adult to make their own life decisions. … Until then, leave children alone.”
Movieguide® previously reported on the controversy:
Brittany Aldean, the wife of country music star Jason Aldean, recently came under fire for thanking her parents for “not changing” her gender when she was a child.
Aldean, who is also a model and owner of beauty products, mentioned that she went through a tomboy phase in her early childhood.
“Advocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it ‘gender affirming care,’ is one of the worst evils. I will always support my children and do what I can do protect their innocence,” she said in an Instagram story.
Political commentators and other country artists began a debate on whether Aldean’s comments were justified.
Female country music stars, Marren Morris and Cassadee Pope, took to Twitter to condemn Aldean’s comments.
Morris wrote: “You know, I’m glad she didn’t become a boy either because we really don’t need another a—–e dude in the world. Sucks when Karens try to hide their homophobia/transphobia behind their ‘protectiveness of the children.’”
Candace Owens of the Daily Wire disagreed with Pope and Morris, tweeting: “It’s easier to not castrate your children. But I guess whatever helps sell bad records.”
