You’re not they and them. You’re trans — you’re male, or you’re female. And people get so mad when I say that. How are you a ‘they?’ What the f*ck does that mean? It’s stupid!&quot;Host Lewan suggested that he too didn't understand non-binary people and added that Jeffree Star was the &quot;perfect vessel&quot; to inform everyone that they/them pronouns do not exist.Following the backlash, the influencer and entrepreneur addressed the controversy through an Instagram story. In the story, he is seen commenting that he &quot;never said&quot; that &quot;non-binary people don't exist.&quot; He argued that he does not like pronouns, pointing out that he himself is a part of the LGBTQ community.
