Controversial makeup mogul Jeffree Star made negative remarks about the transgender community during a podcast appearance amid Trans Awareness Week. He questioned encouraging children to adopt different genders and described gender-affirming care as unnecessary, comparing childhood gender expression to being a tomboy. He used derogatory language toward people supporting trans youth and suggested parents are being misled into affirming identities. Social media users criticized him, noting a history of anti-trans comments and questioning why he receives platforms. He also stated he is "not gay" but described himself as open and authentic.
