Reality TV star and rapper Lil Mama has announced her next great venture: a “Heterosexual Rights Movement.” The comments came following criticism for anti-transgender remarks.
“Y’all fight so hard to be respected and SOME of you, NOT ALL, get a kick out bullying people for having an option, how they dress, how their hair and or makeup looks, how much money they have, etc.,” Lil Mama wrote on Instagram. “There are so many people afraid to give their honest opion [sic] because if they do the LGBTQ+ will hear what they want to hear and take statements out of context.”

“I don’t have to prove myself by reminding people that I have loved ones of the LGBTQ+ Community. When I speak I’m not trying to hurt anyone, I’m just speaking my truth, just like you all,” she added.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The Instagram Story post comes following an uproar against Lil Mama for retweeting remarks by Rizza Islam which appeared to criticize parents for letting their children explore their own gender identity, and undergo gender transition if necessary.
“So children are too young to smoke cigarettes, too young to drink alcohol, too young to get a driver’s license, too young to go to a club, too young to gamble, too young to rent a car, but old enough to cut off their genitals and/or ‘change’ their gender? This is insanity,” the tweet read.
Then, Lil Mama added a comment of her own.
“DEPOPULATION AT ANY COST CAT FIGHTS SWORD FIGHTS,” she captioned. “Used be a cat now ima dog WHATEVER TO STOP NEW LIFE REPRODUCTION.”
We’re still wondering exactly how anyone took Lil Mama’s words “out of context.” In the past, the rapper has come under fire for similar remarks. In 2009, she attracted criticism for telling a transgender dancer on America’s Best Dance Crew to “act like a lady.” She later apologized for the comment.

I definitely have a lot of discomfort towards allowing children to have surgeries and take hormones. But there’s a better way to express that discomfort other than retweeting a bitchy, dismissive post. And she had to know people were going to come at her neck after doing so. The “straight people being bullied” stuff is just lame and a diversion and is far more problematic than her retweet.

I can understand your discomfort, but it is unfounded. Children *cannot* surgically transition. Hormone treatments are also age restricted, generally reversible, and provided at the end of a very long, very involved process – they’re not just handed out on a whim. Youth transitioning is mostly social transitioning.
That’s my problem with these tweets. They’re stirring up understandable fear of something that legally cannot happen anyway, rather than leading to a discussion about what youth transitioning actually entails. It’s never “I want to learn how best to support trans youth” it’s always “aaargh they’re cutting kid’s junk off it’s madness I tell you madness!” which not only helps no-one, it’s actively harmful and prevents young trans people from getting the support they need.

I’m uncomfortable with anyone under 16 taking hormones and anyone under 18 having surgeries. While there are people pushing to allow children to have surgeries and take hormones.
But the point is that Lil Ma is participating in fear-mongering. And she’s promoting very basic, nuance-less conversation (which is one of the big issues with social media in general). While the “Heterosexual Rights Movement” comment is a joke and highlights her own insecurities than showing she has any real concern for anyone.

Yep. When 95% of the population is bullied by a mere 5% of it.
You’re so oppressed by having to think about what you say before you speak. I guess you can’t actually come out and say, “That trans-woman does not pass at all” or “That trans-man looks like an abomination (of God)”.
Real oppression there.

“hearing what they want to hear and taking statements out of context” is not limited to just the LGBTQ community, but it does present itself strong in that community.
Donston
I would guess that the percentage of people who are not thoroughly hetero and cis gender extend quite a bit beyond 5%. However, that’s perhaps the only truly vocal percentage.

Look at her, she doesn’t even realize she is in full drag makeup. Rappers are stupid.

SOME rappers are stupid, just like some gay people (some of whom are rappers perhaps) are stupid.
It seems sometimes that a large percentage of rappers have little intellect or critical faculties; but I suspect that is because in all areas of life, the dullest are often the loudest.
She is clearly stupid and loud.

just another waste of skin, made famous by reality tv. stfu & go away already.

When your opinions are stupid, based on bad science, fear-mongering and outright lies, your ‘opinion’ is bullshit. You WILL get called out on it.
When your opinion is so blindingly ignorant that it physically hurts people to hear the mental gymnastics you need to do to justify it? Your opinion is trash.
You have the right to speak your ignorant, poorly informed mind, you are absolutely right. And other people have the right to call you out for being a fool.
Better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Looks like this hag is trying to be relevant. Ugly should never have a platform

Hey Lil Mama, there already IS a heterosexual rights movement, it’s Super Happy Fun America! Unfortunately they have “ties to white supremacism” but maybe they’re ready for a token black or two:

Why give this previously little known woman a platform to spout her bile? This website fell for her ploy and now people who never heard of her and most likely would never have heard of her know her silly name. Why not post a link to her site?

I believe there already is. It’s called the Republican Party. Unfortunately, only white old men are allowed to speak.
