Nonbinary actor claims 'trans-misogny' when podcaster asks about transition surgeries for minors

Advocates and lawyers of women who have detransitioned are speaking out after nonbinary Netflix "Queer Eye" star Jonathan Van Ness suggested it was "transphobic" of actor Dax Shepard to question if minors should undergo transition surgeries.

As a guest on an episode of the Shephard’s podcast, "Armchair Expert," Van Ness suggested Shepard was "parrot[ing] what he deemed "trans-misogyny" and "transphobic ideologies" for questioning if it is fair to women to oppose men in sports or to "question" if teenagers should undergo gender transitions.

"I think to say that someone can't question without threatening to take someone's rights away to explore these things … some people are very uncomfortable about teenagers transitioning, they're challenging that. How do we know that the person is not going to change their mind?" Dax asked.

"This whole notion that to be critical or to question … because to even question it makes you an enemy. I don't think that's the way forward."

Van Ness at one point responded that "there isn’t legitimate questioning" but rather an "onslaught towards queer people."
