The 33-year-old rap artist made an impassioned speech on stage at SXSW declaring her support for abortion and the rights of children to choose their own gender, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2022\/03\/14\/lizzo-speech-sxsw-abortion-trans-rights-texas\/\"><span>according to<\/span><\/a><span> The Washington Post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m proud to rep Houston, but I\u2019m not proud to rep Texas politics right now,\u201d Lizzo said to a cheering crowd. \u201cMind your business,\u201d she continued. \u201cTrans rights are human rights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Grammy Award winner didn\u2019t stop there. She went on to denounce Texas\u2019s SB 8, which bans almost all abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected at around six weeks of pregnancy. The law goes one step further by not making exceptions for abortions in cases of rape and incest and only permits abortions when the life of the mother is at stake or the pregnancy could cause \u201csubstantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe abortion ban is atrocious,\u201d Lizzo continued during her speech. \u201cMind your business. Stay out of my body. This is not political.\u201d She also claimed conservative politicians were \u201call up in her uterus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That wasn\u2019t all. When it came to trans issues, Lizzo responded to Texas Governor Gregg Abbot requesting that private citizens report families that appear to be supporting children undergoing \u201celective procedures for gender transitioning.\u201d The governor also called on the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to investigate certain \u201cso-called \u2018sex change\u2019 procedures\u201d found to \u201cconstitute child abuse under existing Texas law.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The \u201cTruth Hurts\u201d singer was not on board with restricting gender transitioning for children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey\u2019re taking away the right for young children to have a chance to live authentically as themselves,\u201d Lizzo said. \u201cIt\u2019s a violation of human rights. Trans rights are human rights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe got a lot of other things that we need,\u201d she continued. \u201cThere are people in charge who can change things on a systemic level and they\u2019re letting us down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lizzo performed at SXSW in part to promote her new unscripted reality competition series, \u201cWatch Out for the Big Grrrls,\u201d which is scheduled to debut on Amazon March 25. The singer also addressed how she\u2019s proud of her plus-sized body and is hoping to encourage others to feel the same about theirs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI used to get called fat a** every single day on the bus,\u201d she told the crowd. \u201cThey don\u2019t set us up to see our value and our worth especially as black women, especially as big black women.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI want to lift these women up\u2026 I hope they all become superstars after this,\u201d she said of the contestants on the reality show.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This isn\u2019t the first time Lizzo spoke on these controversial social issues. During the 2019 Sacramento Pride festival, the singer posted a video to her Instagram that included the caption: \u201cI want to take a second to say that Black lives matter. Trans lives matter. And if we\u2019re going to celebrate Pride, then we need to keep that energy 365.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Enter for the chance to hang out with Gina Carano at the premiere of her new Daily Wire movie, Terror on the Prairie!
