I want to be clear. I have nothing against him. I only have issue with the words and definitions being propagated here.

On Thursday, the transgender icon responded to Dillard’s hateful words on Twitter.
Every day I experience cyber-bullying, but I keep sharing my story. Today was no different.

That same day, TLC released a statement saying they do not share Derick’s views.
Keep telling your story, Jazz! You truly are an inspiration!
