During an episode of actress Mayim Bialik&#8217;s podcast, &#8220;Bialik Breakdown,&#8221; O&#8217;Donnell revealed that her daughter had told her that her stuffed animals were &#8220;non-binary.&#8221; O&#8217;Donnell responded by telling her daughter that she too was a &#8220;tomboy&#8221; who loved &#8220;boy stuff&#8221; but still identified as a girl.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rosie O&#8217;Donnell is being canceled by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chair-of-parliament-lgbt-group-resigns-after-defending-convicted-child-abuser-colleague\/\" title=\"Chair of Parliament LGBT+ Group Resigns After Defending Convicted Child Abuser Colleague\">trans rights activists<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-lebron-james-should-have-been-allowed-to-compete-with-every-woman-candace-owens-slams-equality-act\/\" title=\"WATCH: \u2018LeBron James \u2026 Should Have Been Allowed To Compete With Every Woman\u2019: Candace Owens Slams Equality Act\">speaking common sense<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YGpqR4hU5P\">pic.twitter.com\/YGpqR4hU5P<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Catch Up (@CatchUpFeed) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CatchUpFeed\/status\/1661381118455578626?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 24, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>O&#8217;Donnell emphasized that it&#8217;s okay to be a girl and still enjoy traditionally &#8220;boyish&#8221; activities.

O&#8217;Donnell, who is a lesbian and a foster and adoptive mother, has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights throughout her career.<\/p>\n<h3>Critics of Gender Ideology Express Concerns<\/h3>\n<p>While O&#8217;Donnell&#8217;s message of acceptance is heartwarming, critics of gender ideology worry that girls who would have been considered &#8220;tomboys&#8221; in the past are now being pushed towards identifying as transgender. Some parents of trans-identifying children cite their child&#8217;s preference for activities typically associated with the opposite gender as evidence of their child&#8217;s gender identity. Critics argue that this can lead to unnecessary medical interventions, such as puberty blockers and surgeries, for children who may simply be exploring their gender expression.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some girls as young as 12 have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rosie-odonnell-says-she-told-her-daughter-you-can-be-a-girl-and-like-all-the-boy-stuff\/\" title=\"Rosie O'Donnell tells daughter: Girls can like boy things.\">undergone elective double mastectomies<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pennsylvania-taxpayers-spent-16-7-million-on-trans-treatments-for-minors-since-2015-report\/\" title=\"Pennsylvania Taxpayers Spent .7 Million On Trans Treatments For Minors Since 2015: Report\">remove healthy breasts<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>An estimated 300,000 minors aged 13 to 17 identified as transgender as of last year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While it&#8217;s important to support children in exploring their gender identity, it&#8217;s also important to approach the topic with caution and avoid rushing into medical interventions that may have long-term consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rosie O&#8217;Donnell shared with Mayim Bialik on the &#8220;Bialik Breakdown&#8221; that she told her daughter it&#8217;s possible to be a girl and enjoy &#8220;boy stuff&#8221; during a conversation about gender identity.
