Brittany Aldean recently addressed her feud with country singer Maren Morris on the “Try That in a Small Town Podcast.” Aldean revealed that Morris and her friends have had it out for her, even before a controversial post she made regarding gender-affirming care for transgender youth. The friction escalated after Morris criticized Aldean’s appearance in a social media post and made fun of her hair extension business. Aldean defended her post, saying she believes children under 18 shouldn’t be able to choose their gender or undergo life-altering surgeries. Gender-affirming care is a type of medical care provided to transgender and nonbinary individuals, including therapy and hormone therapy. Research from The Trevor Project shows that trans youth who receive gender-affirming care have lower odds of depression and suicide attempts. Despite the feud, Aldean remains proud of her business and her decision to work to provide for her family. The dispute between Aldean and Morris highlights differing views on gender-affirming care and the importance of respecting others’ beliefs.
