Actor and television personality Mario Lopez is facing backlash for saying its dangerous for parents to support children who identify as transgender.

During the 40-minute interview, Owens, a conservative commentator, noted that Lopezs son has boyish interests, and that it struck her as a weird trend that some celebrities, like Charlize Theron, are allowing their children to choose their gender identity.

"Im kind of blown away, too, Lopez responded. Im never one to tell anyone how to parent their kids, obviously, and I think if you come from a place of love, you really cant go wrong, but at the same time, my God, if you're 3 years old and youre saying youre feeling a certain way or you think youre a boy or a girl or whatever the case may be, I just think it's dangerous as a parent to make that determination."

It's sort of alarming, and my gosh, I just think about the repercussions later on, he continued.

On Wednesday, however, Lopez backtracked on his controversial comments. In a statement shared with NBC News, he said his remarks were "ignorant and insensitive" and added that he now has "a deeper understanding of how hurtful they were."

I have been and always will be an ardent supporter of the LGBTQ community, and I am going to use this opportunity to better educate myself," Lopez said. "Moving forward I will be more informed and thoughtful.

I've seen a lot of people screeching about how parents shouldn't "force" a three year old to make such a "permanent" decision.

At three, the only decisions being made are about presentation. Letting your three year old wear a dress and call themself a girl is the extent of it. If the child "changes their mind," they just change their clothes and pronouns. No one is putting a three year old on hormones or puberty blockers. No one is performing surgery on a three year old. Anyone who claims otherwise is delusional, reactionary, and deliberately lying to you to further their own agenda.

I dont trust 3 year olds to properly communicate that they have shit in their pants. How are people even pulling complex issues like feelings of gender dysmorphia out of them?

I'm not saying they dont have them. I'm just curious how the fuck you get such a small child to communicate on that level.

I mean, no one should be like, "my three year old says they like wearing dresses, so I'm thinking about starting treatments now", or anything like that

but the kid also shouldn't be told/forced to act or identity a certain way, because that could also negatively affect how they identify or see themselves.

Have you tried talking to a kid? Or an adult transgender person? A lot of them knew when they were young that something was up. Young children may not be able to articulate that in the most sophisticated way, but that doesn't invalidate the way they feel. Nothing permanent is being done in regards to the transition of a child; it's all social presentation that can be reversed.

I think there is the very real possibility of overly progressive parents taking to heart the momentary whims of toddlers and starting them down a path that will hurt them later in life. I doubt it's a very high number, but I'm sure such people do exist.

My problem is that I have been around kids. I can legit smell their shit and then ask them if they shit their pants. They will either respond with yes, no or idk. Any of those can come across their lips with the child full on believing it and yet still theres shit.

That's where my confusion comes in. 3 year olds are terrible communicators so it's hard to diagnose anything. Like where does one even begin reliably questioning such a small child about gender dysmorphia? I'm legit curious about this process, not that 3 year olds have the feelings in the first place. That much I believe.

There's literally NOTHING controversial about what he said. You don't understand anything at 3 years old. Only snowflakes would think it's bad what he said. If you're in your late teens? Yeah I guess that would be acceptable, but anything before that it's child abuse.

What's also funny is the beginning of the story. Surprised that a boy is into boy things. I guess the way the world is going it would be shocking.

Yes but they also can legit believe that they didn't and still have it be in there. They're not the most observant bunch and sometimes some shit squeaks out without a standard push. Think of a sharts as just one example. 3 year olds aren't always aware enough to realize shit came out too because they dont relate fart to shit. Then they legit cant feel it smearing around back there. This is sadly a very common occurrence in the day of many 3 year olds.
