Bethenny Frankel:  "I Was Absolutely Not Wrong"

 

Bethenny Frankel says she’s “not apologizing” after nut job trolls SM users called her out on her so called offensive comments on a recent podcast episode. In case you haven't heard, Bethenny Frankel is facing accusations of "transphobia" following a discussion she had on her podcast about "pronouns and gender identity" (bullshit) . 

 

I guess we better back it up for a moment.  In a recent episode of her Just B with Bethenny Frankel podcast, the Real Housewives of New York City alum, 50, brought up pronouns in reference to her 11-year-old daughter, Bryn, and her school.  Warning: The grammar gets a little rough here.  "We have to go into the fact that I did a Zoom for my daughter's school and had the pronouns conversation with each teacher, each parent, each child," she said. "And my daughter says in school, too, that everybody has to say their pronouns." "And my daughter didn't even know what hers were, and I can't even blame her, I know what I am or what I think I am, but I have never said it out loud ... it hasn't come up for me ... and so she said she didn't know exactly how to say it, someone said it before her," Frankel continued. 

 

The Skinnygirl mogul then launched into a conversation about stories she has heard about sleepaway camps over the summer, noting that Bryn did not attend any.  "It's an all-girls camp and a person with a penis, who "identifies" as being a girl, went to the camp and was in the bunk with the girls. And 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," she said. 

 

 

Frankel said "the parents obviously weren't that happy" and added that she heard "this girl with a penis was making out with a lot of different girls at the camp." 

 

She also commented on trans athletes competing in sports, justifiably questioning whether it is fair, and suggesting that the sports be graded "on a curve.  Frankel additionally implied that gender and sexual identity could just be a "phase" and later noted that Bryn is amazing when it comes to the topic of gender identity.  "My daughter understands all of this, it's amazing, they have different language, different understandings, but 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.

 

After the Bravo star was sharply criticized on social media for the allegedly  offensive comments, she doubled down on what she said.  "I was absolutely not wrong. And I'm going to discuss this again this week. 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," she wrote on Twitter in reply to a listener who shared, "This is a time to learn, Bethenny. Humility can be a good thing. Doesn't mean you're weak. You were wrong with your comments.

 

The always hilariously sarcastic Frankel wrote "PageSix says I'm transphobic so it must be true …", and then some self-righteous liberal asshole responded with "B not a good way to apologize. Your intro to the podcast WAS offensive. Let's learn something here.".  "Not apologizing….so don't hold your breath," she wrote. "I didn't do a single thing wrong. People need to be able to have discussions without fearing the cancelation citations you get excited to give. Wrong celeb. Find someone afraid to troll.".  Bethenny continued, "I didn't do one thing wrong ... conversations are healthy. Try it. Doubling down. I'm not a celeb who panics in fear of cancelation Bc I didn't say something precisely how you needed to hear it. I don't have a transphobic bone on my body so take it elsewhere. Watch handmaids tale."

 

The libtard then concludes, "You are a straight woman, I am a gay woman," the same user replied. "How about YOU try having a conversation about why your words were extremely hurtful. I have tweeted you many times thanking you for your humanitarian work. You missed the mark on this. Admit it, learn and try harder. Like we all do." *insert GAG here ___.

 

As if I wasn't already a huge Bethenny Frankel fan.  Although she's probably never going to "admit it" out loud, I would bet the farm that Bethenny is on "the right side" of poilitics, and I always suspected that this was at the root of why she and former RHONY costar, Carole Ratziwell, ended their friendship, especially during the Trump/Crooked Shrillary election.
