Aldean, the wife of country music star Jason Aldean, received backlash after thanking her family for not changing her gender during her "tomboy phase."
"I'm advocating for children," she told Carlson. "I think that children should not be allowed to make these life-changing decisions at such a young age. They are not mature enough; they should have parents who love them and advocate for them regardless. We have ages on everything. We have it for cigarettes, driving, military, voting… yet for some reason people think that we can let a child choose their gender so young? It's very baffling to me."
She reiterated that children are "too young to make those decisions" and that they are "life-changing."
"There are so many consequences of doing that as such a young age," she continued. "Society should be able to sit back, speak our minds about it and fight for these children."
