After Stacey Dash went off about Black History Month, you’d think she’d learn to keep her mouth shut. Instead, she went to the Oscars, made an incredibly awkward joke about her comments which no one laughed at, and continued to stick around in the limelight. Now she’s back in the news offending a different group of people: the transgender community.
In a recent exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight‘s Nischelle Turner, Dash discussed how she targets Caitlyn Jenner and the general trans community for wanting to use specific restrooms in her new book There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative.
“It’s tyranny by the minority,” Dash explained when discussing the current political battle over trans rights. “Why do I have to suffer because you can’t decide what you wanna be that day? It’s your body! So, it’s your decision, right? We all make choices.”
When Turner pointed out that trans people wouldn’t classify their gender identity as a choice, Dash went off the handle.
“OK, then go [to the bathroom] in the bushes,” she responded. “I don’t know what to tell you, but I’m not gonna put my child’s life at risk because you want to change a law. So that you can be comfortable with your beliefs — which means I have to change my beliefs and my rights? No.”
Ugh. Remember Dionne? Whatever happened to her? Bring her back, we miss her! She was so much more level-headed!
