Derick Dillard attacks transgender teen Jazz Jennings: ‘Transgender is a myth’

These days, I mostly ignore the Duggar family and all of the assorted Duggar relatives. It’s not that these people stopped being awful, it’s that I think most people stopped caring. While the Duggars managed to work their way back into reality television after all of the revelations about Josh Duggar’s terrible actions, I’m pretty sure their TLC show has had steadily declining ratings. As it turns out, even crazy wingnuts get boring after a while, and once the girls started getting married and popping out babies, the audience just shrugged and moved on. One of the Duggar girls, Jill, married Derick Dillard several years back. Derick and Jill seemed to be more independent than the others – Derick had a real job for a while and then they moved around South America doing “missionary work” (I’d like to see the receipts on that, but nevermind).

In any case, while Derick seemed slightly more normal than you would expect, he was still pretty awful. He holds the same backwards views as everybody else in that family, plus he abuses cats. So what is Derick up to these days? Mocking transgender children on Twitter. Derick took to Twitter to bash Jazz Jennings, the star of TLC’s I Am Jazz. Jazz is a transgender teen and her show is all about her life, her activism, etc. Honestly, my mom watches it and she really likes it! But Derick Dillard does not:

When people were like “way to attack something you don’t even understand, douche nozzle,” Dillard once again tweeted his wisdom:

Wow, misgendering Jazz and spreading your holier-than-thou wisdom on transgender issues? How lucky can we get?? “Transgender is a myth,” says the guy who believes a virgin gave birth to a savior and that savior’s dead body reanimated after three days. I’m just saying… let he who does not believe in myths cast the first stone.

      great, relevant blind about this dude…..the biggest homophobic bigots are ALWAYS closeted:

    • Trillion says:

      when christians site science to support their opinions….

    • HurryWait says:

      It may be part of his belief regarding gender, but is it so “Christian” to cyber bully a vulnerable young person?

      • hannah89 says:

        intolerance loves to hide behind religion for its reasoning.
        any religion that has such beliefs as his, is evil in disguise.

      • Sabrine says:

        He’s not good. He’s not kind. He’s a transphobic with his goofy looking “godly” face on his “Christian” bully pulpit who has chosen to make cruel comments about a beautiful and kindly soul by using social media. Fast forward 10 years and he’ll have spawned 10 more he can turn against citizens who do not live and believe as he and his ilk do.

    • Lahdidahbaby says:

      Yes. And as for what is actually a myth, Derick Dillard’s humanity comes to mind.

  2. Talie says:

    I’m so happy this family has lost their power and have faded, but notice, now that they aren’t reliant on TV, they let their hateful views fly right out in the open! He married in before the TV show exploded, so I guess he’s bitter.

  3. Tanguerita says:

    This bunch of deplorables is the best reason to go full antitheist.

    • Char says:

      @Tanguerita I’m pretty sure God itself has nothing against anyone. But the people who wrote the books and the ones who misinterpret for their own advantage are the ones who ruin everything.

    • Maple Girl says:

      I don’t think all religious people should be judged because of this one crazy cult asshole.

      • LaBlah says:

        No one is judging religious people. Stating that god is a myth is not a judgement on religious people anymore than religious people believing in God is a judgement on atheists.

        ALL religious people ALSO don’t believe in many thousands of gods. Atheists just go one further. A lack of belief in not inherently a judgement.

      • Maple Girl says:

        I thought there was a difference between being an atheist and an antitheist.

      • Tanguerita says:

        @Maple Girl you are right, there is indeed. An atheist is someone who chooses not to believe in any deity. Antitheist is someone who believes that religion is harmful to society and people.

    • Enough Already says:

      that’s like saying I knew a serial cheater once so I’m never going to be in a relationship. Have your own, better reasons.

      • Otaku fairy says:

        The problem is that it isn’t just one random religious person. Religion in general does not have the best track record when it comes to gender and sexuality, (among other things), so while we may support someone’s right to be religious, some of us are very turned off from it, and will criticize.

      • Enough Already says:

        Criticize away but if you’re against Christianity, attack its tenets. If you’re against Christians, attack their behavior.

      • Tanguerita says:

        @Otaku fairy. EXACTLY.

      • Kitten says:

        “if you’re against Christianity, attack its tenets. If you’re against Christians, attack their behavior.”

        Not sure I understand what you were trying to say with this comment.
        The issue here is that within Christianity lies a spectrum of worshippers. There are many facets of Christianity and multiple denominations. Some Christians are the live and let live type and others use their religion to impose their religious beliefs upon others. It’s easy to say “criticize the tenants” but that becomes more complicated when the tenants are often loosely interpreted, frequently in a self-serving way. How one Christian observes the tenants may be drastically divergent from how another Christian interprets those same tenants.

        Isn’t the basic tenant of Christianity that in order to gain entrance to heaven one must accept salvation from God and accept Jesus Christ? And those who do so receive forgiveness of sins and live eternal afterlife in heaven while those of us who do not subscribe are doomed to eternal damnation and an afterlife of hell?

        Isn’t that a bit um…broad? Seems like there’s a lot of room for subjective interpretation there. For instance, one Christian could think that trans people are sinners while another may not. Soooooo…does that mean the trans person goes to heaven or not?

        It doesn’t seem too clear does it?

        Ah well, as an atheist I guess I’ll just have to figure it out from the fiery pits of hell. Hope I can at least bring my ipad with me and maybe a small oscillating fan.

        And this: “Have your own, better reasons.”

        Personally, I thought the reasons articulated by fellow commenters here were petty damn good.

      • pinetree13 says:

        All the major religions oppress women. ALL OF THEM. Because they were all written by, and all positions of power held by, men.

        I truly believe we cannot progress as a society until we throw off the shackles of religion. Religion tries to stop EVERY inch of progress. They fought against organ transplants which save millions of lives because “it’s playing god”, they fight against birth control, they fight against all progress in every area!!!!

        I also think they are culprits in the destruction of our environment. Too many think that if Earth gets too polluted God is going to swoop in and save everything. It is the tireless work of people that DON’T think like that, the people like me who actually WORK to make the world a better place because we know no one else will.

        And yet, in surveys, athiests are the ‘least trusted’ group in America. Despite the fact that it is religious people who have persecuted athiests for hundreds if not thousands of years and not the other way around.

        Sorry end rant.

      • Kitten says:

        I enjoyed the rant, Pinetree. More please!

      • Trillion says:

        this idea that religion must be handled with kid gloves is so ridiculous to me. It underscores what must be extreme insecurity.

      • FLORC says:

        Raised and baptized Greek orthodox. Raised Catholic. Still practice and still feel that Catholic guilt. That said… I and thoae I know do not feel trans gender people are sinners. We barely believe in an afterlife. More to the energy theory. We do tend to agree on this…

        Be a good person. To yourself and others. It’s not our place to judge another person or to understand their life and joy and suffering. And it’s not theirs to figure out ours. Just be kind. Nice to someone who sins? Good. Mean to someone who sins? That makes you an unkind person. If your religion praises you for being selective in tour kindneas. Gfy.

  4. Nicole says:

    Yea I’m not surprised. They are still the crazy cult “religious” people they were before. You know worry about transgender teens but not the molesting uncle.
    Oh and Jill was the one that had to return donations because it seemed that they were misusing the funds for private life and not the missionary work
    They are trash and honestly I stopped watching TLC altogether after the Josh Duggar story broke.

  5. Shijel says:

    Dull Dillard I’d consider your FACE a myth but sadly you’re real and I’m subjected to your existence

  6. littlemissnaughty says:

    No. Sex is “decided” by nature and even nature decided there’s more than two. Your face, however, is a clear sign that nature wanted to warn your fellow humans that they are meeting a moron. What a nice Christian man you are, sh*tting on a teenage girl.

    • Nyawira says:

      Yeah, sex is determined by nature and gender is determined by society but don’t try to explain that to him. His one and a half brain cells are already overworked trying to hear this invisible man in the sky.

    • Artemis says:

      @littlemissnaughty:
      Omg, this beautiful drag…i need to use this whenever people are being transphobic!

      Jazz is a beautiful soul and a gorgeous girl who is so brave and outspoken, I don’t know this cretin Dullard and will continue not knowing him.

  7. Alison says:

    The irony is stunning.

  8. OSTONE says:

    I bet he also believes is a myth that good ole white Christian men don’t rape, cheat, watch porn or molest children… oh wait.

  9. third ginger says:

    Among many other odious things, this guy is engaging in one of our culture’s favorite pastimes: taking about something he knows NOTHING about. Trans kids are often in tremendous danger. My daughter and her girlfriend did a lot of work when they were in college to support trans people. They continue to be LGBT activists. But, as I often say, some people’s children [like the Duggers and spouses] don’t have the character of a sponge mop.

  10. iris west-allen says:

    The whole family needs to go away.

    • Millennial says:

      All these girls married such duds. It seems like most of them don’t even have real jobs. Jana is probably the smartest one for just opting out all together, even if it means she has to be her mothers nanny/maid. Jinger’s husband may be the best of the bunch, at least he “lets” her wear pants. 🙄

  11. Nyawira says:

    Well, if the invisible man in the sky ordained it then …I guess. Did the invisible man in the sky also ordain that ratty beard and the meth teeth?

    • Who ARE these people? says:

      I despise him too but aren’t the ‘meth teeth’ actually in braces?

    • Sabrine says:

      He’s goofy looking, like there’s not a whole lot behind that dumb expression he’s always got plastered on his face.

  12. Lucy2 says:

    It amazes me this idiot thinks anyone needs to know his opinion on anything.
    Go away already.

  13. Surely Wolfbeak says:

    I don’t know who Derick (sic) Dillard is, but he can jog on.

  14. Brittney B. says:

    He’s a hateful idiot. Jazz is awesome, and she won’t let his words bother her.

    But… did anyone see the blind item about this guy? Not just closeted, but abusively so.

    • Alix says:

      Where was this? Do you mean abusive to his family? Yikes. Deets, please!

      • Brittney B. says:

        There’s a blind item that connects him to the abuse & murder of a “family friend”, German Daniel Serrano Orellana, and implies he was sexually exploiting & abusing him and other immigrants.

    • Lauren says:

      I have not seen that. The abusive part I believe, based on the things he says about is son Israel and Jill, and the fact that Jill seems so sad all the time (when she used to be the most bubbly of the sisters). Where is this blind item?

    • Mermaid says:

      @brittneyb
      I totally can believe that. The right wing religious nut cases are always always exposed to have the biggest skeletons in their closets.

    • pinetree13 says:

      Jazz’s response made me feel so sad: “Every day I experience cyber-bullying, but I keep sharing my story,” she wrote on Thursday, August 3. “Today was no different.”

  15. kNY says:

    AHHHHHHHHHHH! I HATE THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! (The fucking Duggers, not Jazz.)

    • Belle Epoch says:

      I HATE THEM MORE! I loathe and despise them. All of them. Everything about them. They are evilness wrapped up with a holy ribbon. And they’re trying to make an army.

  16. Feedmechips says:

    Right. Being a child molester is ordained by God too!

    • MC2 says:

      You know, “boys will be boys” and god put men above women so…….
      These people are sick.

    • Trillion says:

      yes, it’s all part of god’s awesome plan. Tell that to molested children. Ugh.

  17. Lizzie says:

    what kind of scurvy did he contract in that jungle? holy hell he looks terrible. he was a derp faced dork before but the sunken eyes, receding hairline, super skinny, swollen gums…perhaps its is rotten foul inner self eroding his outer layer?

    • susanne says:

      I felt bad for my reaction to his physical appearance….and now I’ve found my safe space. Thanks, Lizzie!
      He looks like someone I would instinctively steer my children away from.

    • Applepie says:

      ….sometimes the Nature gives them the Face they deserve…..
      Don’t offend Frankenstein…….:)…… this Guy shows clearly, that his Face is showing very much who he is.
      *i like the nickname “Dull Dillard” and the whole Fuggard Tribe can go to Hell

      Please Karma, exist and do your Job on this sickos.

  18. grabbyhands says:

    God, this whole family is disgusting. And so is TLC for continuing to give them air time. I feel bad that Jazz and her family have to be on the same network as these jackasses.

    Not surprised that they responded by posting pictures of their newest kid to do damage control. They must have had a supportive call from Ivanka on how to try (and fail) to deflect after rightly being called out for having been callous jerks.

    • Alix says:

      It gives me some satisfaction to see Jinger slowly divesting herself of the dumb-ass dress code she’s lived with her whole life. I hope she’s on the pill, too. Next step: run back home just long enough to kidnap Jana!

    • Enough Already says:

      I’m not sure the whole family is disgusting. I think the women have Stockholm syndrome.

  19. Allie B. says:

    Love the Christianity shade. #worldsbiggestmyth. Jazz is beautiful. I won’t lie, there are some trans activists who are a little extreme and have taken positions on things that I find offensive toward other women, but that is to be expected in any movement. There will be fringe groups that alienate their own allies, but that’s not what’s happening here. I had never heard of this show, but I’ll start watching.

    • Jayna says:

      I have followed Jazz and her story since she was young. You can go on YouTube and catch the TV news shows episodes that followed and interviewed the family a few times to understand the family and Jazz when she was young. It is a great family who formed a strong support system for her from the age of a toddler, Barbara Walters is one of the interviews on YouTube. I think she followed her twice over her young years.

      The TLC show is following her as a teen.

    • GingerCrunch says:

      That hashtag tho….😍😍😍

  20. Birdie says:

    I went to his twitter account and saw that he retweetet Trump. In like a “Yeah Trump” way. So, what else can you expect from him..

  21. HelloSunshine says:

    So biting the hand that feeds them huh? Also, they happily keep a child molester around but yes, lets attack this beautiful girl living her best life 🙄
    I’ve never watched Jazz’s show (I do try to avoid TLC now) but I’ve seen interviews with her and she really seems like a wonderful person. She’s above all of this. I think he knows this and it probably makes him angry, so I hope she doesn’t respond.

  22. Giulia says:

    Was TLC the channel the Duggars were on? He sounds jealous that Jazz has a show. I mean, why pick on a kid? Where are his hate tweets about Caitlyn, another adult who can slap back?

    • lunchcoma says:

      TLC was the channel the Duggars were on…and Jazz’s show is in their old time slot. This is just grifter greed, as it usually is with that family.

    • Applepie says:

      You answered yourself, guys like him are cowards.
      An educated intelligent Woman (not Cait by the way) would freak the s***t out of him.
      I think he is a useless lowlife like the Fuggar Tribe ( at least the males).

  23. Piglet says:

    I misread his last name as ‘Dullard’. My brain will not be convinced this is incorrect.

  24. Lauren says:

    This guy has actually shown to be the least normal of the sons-in-law of the family. Jingers husband recently through some shade at Derick for his faux-missionary lifestyle. He’s referred to his (at the time) not yet two year old as having a “sin nature”. Jill seems depressed and miserable; her recent advice to her newest brother-in-law was about dealing with his wife’s random crying, as if that’s normal. Then there’s all the weirdness surrounding the birth of their second son. It’s sad that he went from the most normal Duggar relative to the least really quickly.

    • HelloSunshine says:

      Okay so that’s really scary. Especially about the two year old. He sounds like he’s a very cruel human being and I wonder what happens behind closed doors with his wife and kids. It wouldn’t surprise me if they’re hiding a Josh Duggar sized secret. I hope she and her children are safe, she was unfortunately born to be brainwashed 🙁

      • PortlandJan says:

        I just hope he’s not taking his cue re Izzy from “To Train Up A Child” by Michael Pearl. That’s one of the most odious tomes ever published.

      • Applepie says:

        @ HelloSunshine, i think he is even worse…..

    • jwoolman says:

      His comment about his two year old should have him closely supervised. It is not normal to talk that way about a toddler even though they can make you insane…. They are going through a normal developmental phase and sinfulness is not part of it.

      There is a good chance that he is abusing that child and quite likely his wife. She probably feels as though she has nowhere to turn on this, her parents would just quote scripture at her.

      And this is why really long courtships without parental interference are GOOD things… Doesn’t hurt to actually live with each other for a while also. Some things don’t really surface until that point.

  25. Tate says:

    With all of the trump crap, I totally forgot these people existed.

    • susanne says:

      Silver linings. Some days I crave Kardashians. It’s a new world, but I still have hope.
      Can’t with the TLC, and wish Jade would find a better place to share her story.

  26. Insomniac says:

    Holy crap, that picture of Derick. Is he playing Charles Manson in the new Tarantino movie?

    And big surprise, he’s a transphobic piece of trash and a Trump worshipper. I didn’t miss hearing about this useless family at all. Wish they’d all crawl back under their rocks.

    • Applepie says:

      This Face never ever belongs to a good person, sometimes the horrible rotten personality is showing…..
      Even people who are said to be beautiful, you can see the mean strike in their eyes. (JR)

  27. HelloSunshine says:

    Can someone fill me in on what happened with their second child’s birth? I’ve seen it referenced multiple times on different sites writing about this story but can’t find any info with googling??

    • Lauren says:

      They announced she labored for 40 hours before she had an emergency C-section, which was her second C-section. She was trying for a homebirth VBAC, and there’s speculation that she did not get proper prenatal care. They put out one picture of the baby, screaming with a bunch of tubes coming out of him. Then there was silence for about a week, not normal for the Duggars following a birth. The pictures then released were from the hospital, with only one of Jill holding the baby. She looked very out of it and the time frame indicated, she and the baby should have been released. It took several weeks more for pictures to be posted. The official video announcement for the birth wasn’t even done by Jill or Derick, but by Jessa, again not normal for the Duggars. Also not normal is that there was no photo–op with People magazine, which should have happened by now. There’s better descriptions of what happened elsewhere (freejinger.org has a couple threads about what happened) but it all indicates something bad happened that they don’t want to talk about.

      • JenB says:

        Thanks for sharing the info, I hadn’t heard either. There are many, many issues with the Duggars but that is a lot for Jill to go through twice. And if Derrick speaks of his 2 year old that way…not a good sign. Toddler years are trying but there’s no need to bring SIN into it, geez.

    • yuck says:

      There’s a lot of speculation, but no one knows for sure. Jill tried to do a home VBAC after having an emergency C-section (after 72 hours of labor) with her first kid. (She’s been trained as a midwife, but has no professionally recognized qualifications outside of AR.) This time she was in labor for 40 hours and then ended up with another section. Unlike all other recent Duggar births, People Mag did not run a gushing cover story on this one. The first photo of the new baby showed him hooked up to many devices. No one knows if there is/was anything wrong with him, but many people think Jill’s recklessness in trying another home birth may have rendered her unable to have more children.

      I hadn’t read anything about her husband possibly being abusive. Would love to see a link to that blind item.

      • HelloSunshine says:

        Thanks for filling me in. I wonder why she tried for a home VBAC after having such a terrible labor the first time. Is that something to do with their religion?? Hospitals are even touchy about doing VBACs (it’s getting better but the complications that can come with it require special insurance I believe). If she’s unable to have more children, her whole life has just been ruined. Her whole she’s been told this is what she was born to do. I feel awful for all the girls born into this family 🙁

      • Bridget says:

        Hospitals over here are extremely supportive of doing VBACs, but if she’s already had an emergency C section she wouldn’t be a candidate for a VBAC. And most certainly not a home birth. Something very wrong happened with her prenatal care or she completely ignored it, and she sounds like she had some serious repercussions with her health and her baby’s.

      • Isa says:

        I had a VBAC and honestly had to push for one. My doctor said if I needed an emergency csection due to a uterine rupture we would have just a few minutes to get the baby out. I was hooked up to monitors the whole time. Everything went smoothly, but there’s still no way I would attempt one at home, even having a successful vaginal birth before my csection.

      • Ange says:

        Honestly if she couldn’t have any more kids it wouldn’t be the worst thing for the family as a whole, but she would probably struggle with it. Not to mention Dillhole would probably treat her worse. Poor Jill.

  28. Aussie girl says:

    Wow! He didn’t get on social media to condemn his brother in law. Thats beside the point though, Jazz is a story of a natural human being finding themselves.

  29. Green Is Good says:

    Such unchristian behavior. Hypocrite.

  30. justcrimmles says:

    Let ye inbred, cat abusers without adult braces cast the first stone, guy.

  31. dobbs says:

    Derrick looks like a high school drop out carnival worker who is strung out on meth.

  32. FLORC says:

    I don’t like, but did expect comment attacking Christianity in a nitpicking style to attack Dillards views.
    Some people are just stupid. Some love or need to hate. It’s what they crave in their minds and hearts. And to ease their consciousness they frame it in a justifiably manner. It’s hate in a pure form.

    The way that Twitter called him out as a grown man attacking a teenager breaks it down to the most basic form. It’s not about their ignorance of literal translation to some core Christian theology. Just ignorance and hate. Let’s bot go to his level. People like that will always speak themselves into their own grave and feel like a social media martyr.

    • Enough Already says:

      This!

    • Otaku fairy says:

      It’s fine to mock/ criticize beliefs as long as you don’t discriminate against people just for existing as a religious person.

    • Kitten says:

      I get all of that and agree but it’s not wrong to acknowledge that religion provides a convenient and socially-acceptable vehicle for him to deliver his hatefulness.

      Because we all know that it would be a LOT harder for him to wrap his bigotry in a pretty package and a nice bow without the help of institutionalized religion. And “it’s just his beliefs, he’s not trying to offend anyone” has provided a convenient hall pass for those that peddle racism, xenophobia, sexism, bias, and narrow-mindedness for far too long.

      Personally, I have no problem with people finally calling it out for what it is.

      • I Choose Me says:

        This exactly!

        Had a similar conversation with an LDS missionary couple who visited my home this week. Really nice people but I told them their church’s position on LGBTQ matters ensures that I could never rejoin their church (I was a member some twelve years ago before I came to my senses).

        It was an interesting discussion where they attempted to ‘clarify’ the church’s stance by saying that there are plenty of LDS members with gay kids or relatives who love them and would never cast them away AS LONG AS they’re not engaging in the act.

        What so many don’t seem to get it that it’s not their beliefs that’s the problem it’s where the church BECAUSE of their beliefs uses it’s power and influence to take away the rights of others.

        Never again will I be part of any religious organization. Too much ritualism, conformity (some subtle some overt,) self importance (we and we alone have/know the truth) and patriarchal bullshit.

      • FLORC says:

        Kitten
        I get that and agree. They do twist and mutilate what can be a vehicle for wonderful loving and accepting core values.
        It breaks down to the individual. Not what they hide behind. That’s what I hope gets the focus.

      • detritus says:

        Kitten, I like the things you say ❤️

      • jwoolman says:

        People who want to control and hurt other people will use any weapon at their disposal. For some, the weapon is fake patriotism and flag worship. For others, it’s just whatever twisted view they have of a particular religion. There are other weapons as well.

        State religions or wannabe state religions are bad in the hands of dysfunctional people, but so is a fork. Religious frameworks can be good or bad. The Duggar framework does not represent all Christian frameworks any more than Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump represent all Jews. ISIS doesn’t represent all Muslims.

        The Duggars’ religion is baffling to me and I know more about Christian religions than most. It’s hard to understand how anyone who runs around claiming Jesus as a personal savior can so totally ignore Jesus’s teachings about how to treat other people and children in particular. They are stuck in their own sad cycle, and it doesn’t seem fair to blame Jesus for it. They would be just as awful in any religion or as atheists. I don’t think that families in the officially atheist USSR suddenly blossomed into dancing with unicorns. They had the same old problems as when they were religious Russian Orthodox or Jewish or Muslim or whatever. People always manage to find new weapons to beat each other up with when one weapon because less available.

  33. Destroy Humans says:

    The entire family is repulsive. The Learning Channel is a misnomer.

  34. Anilehcim says:

    “‘Transgender is a myth,’ says the guy who believes a virgin gave birth to a savior and that savior’s dead body reanimated after three days. I’m just saying… let he who does not believe in myths cast the first stone.” <- Perfectly put!

    This was my take as well.

  35. Interesting Blind Item on CDAN where the majority are guessing it’s this terrible person:

    • Leelee says:

      Wow, this explains a lot. I tend to believe the blind item. It explains the radical shift in their demeanors. He def looks like an addict of some sort. Maybe what they discovered when their son was born is that he is HIV+, and no one wants to adddress the issue.

    • Reef says:

      I was not ready for what I read on that link. Gonna go meditate.

    • Radley says:

      If CDAN and whoever allegedly supplied this info have knowledge of a potential homicide they need to go to the police. WTH?? This is outrageous. You don’t casually drop knowledge of someone committing a crime like this.

      I tend to believe CDAN makes a lot of stuff up. This Duggarite is awful though. They all are. Haters wearing sh*t eating grins desperately trying to keep that graveyard of skeletons in the closet.

      • detritus says:

        The most insane shit got published there for awhile. With commenters appearing to substantiate, but never Enty himself.
        He’s figured out how to generate clicks for sure, I don’t trust him at all though.

      • jc126 says:

        I agree Radley. As entertaining as the blinds on CDAN are, the sheer volume of the BIs makes them seem less credible. Not to mention some of them are totally nuts and proof is never provided.

      • FLORC says:

        Yea… It’s a bs bi. Take it for what it is. Click bait.

  36. Malificent says:

    What does he have to say about people who are born intersexed, paticularly those born with non-binary genitalia? If God designates our gender at conception/birth, then God is obviously pretty laid back about the topic of gender.

  37. JA says:

    Please don’t clump those with faith and working brains with this POS. I get what you were trying to say but this dude has no clue what the true meaning of Christianity is like most religious zealots who use the guise of faith to justify their hate, ignorance and mind bending thinking. He is a stain on this world and society.

    • M4lificent says:

      @JA, I’m not sure if your reply was to me or not. I was poking holes in Derrick’s twisted logic, not God or faith. I am a practicing Christian — and one who believes that God is laid back about gender. I believe that the Divine is concerned only with shape of our hearts and souls.

    “I’m just saying… let he who does not believe in myths cast the first stone. ”

    Stone cast. Words are wasted on this lot.

  39. Deanne says:

    So gender is ordained by God, but his wonky jaw wasn’t? How dare he correct his facial and dental issues when Jesus clearly wanted him to live with a deformity. Also, what’s with the c-sections for his wife? Shouldn’t she have just accepted God’s will for her to die in labour? Oh, that’s right. The Duggars and their ilk cherry pick from the Bible and interpret things in a way that suits their agenda. How these grifters are still on television is beyond me.

    • pinetree13 says:

      To be fair, literally all religious people cherry pick from their religious texts.

      Also this is what I don’t get about religious people either. Like why seek any treatments? If everything is from God then if you get an ear infection and it progresses until you die, isn’t that what God wanted?

      Or the premie duggar….they don’t use Birth Control because that’s interferring with God’s plan, but they used all necessary advanced medical technology to let their premie live where she would have died? How come her death wasn’t part of God’s plan and it was okay to interfere?

      Don’t get me wrong!!!! I am definitely NOT advocating that babies NOT get treatment. I’m just saying I do not understand their way of thinking AT ALL> Why is SOME human interference okay but others blasphemey? It makes no sense! No sense!

      • Deanne says:

        You’re 100% right about all religions cherry picking. The hypocrisy of this family really bothers me. They ‘re hate, bigotry and ignorance, candy coated by TLC and presented to their oblivious fans as wholesome. Jordyn Duggar, the baby neglected and ignored once Josie the preemie was on the scene, has a very pronounced speech impediment. Nothing has been done to address it. It’s not something she’ll outgrow and she should have started speech therapy by the time she was three. Many speech, vision and hearing issues are noticed by teachers when kids go to preschool and kindergarten, but of course the Duggars homeschool their kids so Jordan will have to spend her life with this severe impediment. It’s nauseating. I guess they figure that the only people she’ll be talking to are her master, I mean husband, her dozen future children and her OB/GYN, so being impossible to understand doesn’t matter. Imagine the hatred the gay kids in that family feel for themselves. Statistically, at least one of them is gay. Probably more Meanwhile, their molester brother is accepted and forgiven. Like I said, they make me ill.

        @pinetree
        ALL people cherrypicking is strong. There are different interpretations sometimes that have nothing to do with cherrypicking. But I guess I am curious if you mean all religions or this fool’s religion. It also seems you are talking about zealots of certain religions. No snark I am genuinely curious.

    • Isa says:

      Someone tweeted that his jaw surgery was the devil’s work since god obviously wanted him to STFU and I laughed

  40. Katherine says:

    Um, more like gender is a myth (a social construct)

  41. Josie says:

    But let’s get real: This is the most publicity that family has received in a good long time. (The paid promotions on People don’t count.)

    He attacked a teenager because that’s the only way he could get anyone to pay attention to him. And it worked.

  42. Littlestar says:

    He believes in a talking snake but wants to debunk “myths”, hahahaha! Pretty sure Jazz is a minor and he shouldn’t be tweeting shade about minors.

  43. NotSoSocialButterfly says:

    If stupidity caused pain, this douche canoe would be on a morphine drip and snorting oxys, while wrapped in a giant fentanyl patch. Jesus.

  44. Izzy says:

    Hey Derick, you know what else is a myth? The notion that you have any kind of paying job that supports your family.

    Shut your piehole and crawl back under your rock.

  45. D says:

    Let’s go full Mimi “ain’t gonna feed ya gonna let you starve” #WhyYouSoObsessedWithJazzDullards #AlwaysIgnoreHatefulChristians

  46. Jana says:

    Oh, who cares. Who is this guy, anyway? And why am I commenting? Shame on me for giving him 15 more seconds.

  47. Eva123 says:

    Jazz is a beautiful young lady. It’s a shame that she has to deal with this negativity at such a young age.

  48. Barbcat says:

    Science

  49. DesertReal says:

    You can point out how someone is a zealot, a hypocrite, & an awful person, without attacking their beliefs.
    I’m religious. I believe that we’re supposed to show the generosity, love, compassion, and respect towards everyone, just as Jesus preached.
    I’m also a pro-choice super liberal feminist who loves everyone (until they prove themselves to be douche canoes).
    This dude is an awful human being, whos own false sense of superiority, makes him feel emboldened to say awful, untrue, hurtful, condescending things about a beautiful young lady, that’s sharing her journey.
    You can criticize a person, without generalizing Christians as a whole.
    We’re not all like that.
    Just sayin’

  50. Lou says:

    Guess his inner beauty equals his outer beauty. As my grandma says, “you get the face you deserve.”

  51. Marianne says:

    A)If it goes against his values so much then why does he have a show with TLC? Secondly, gender is different than sex. And what determines sex isnt God. Its about what point in your ovulation cycle your’re having sex. And even if God is sitting around going “today I’ll make this child a boy, and this child a girl”…then wouldnt getting braces go against what god wanted you to have/be? I mean really…

  52. doesntmatter says:

    I have read your site for years. I will no longer be checking your site. You are irresponsible with your posts. You alienate your Christian readers, Republican readers, etc. You used to maintain a nuetral viewpoint. Guess all good things must come to an end.

    • Andrea says:

      You feel alienated because Celebitchy is questioning a man who is posting hurtful things about a child online?! Perhaps it’s better you don’t belong to this community.

    • DesertReal says:

      I understand what you’re saying. As I stated above:
      You can point out how someone is a zealot, a hypocrite, & an awful person, without attacking their beliefs. I believe that we’re supposed to show the generosity, love, compassion, and respect towards everyone, just as Jesus preached.
      I’m also a pro-choice super liberal feminist who loves just about everyone.

      I’m not sure why all Christians have to get lumped together whenever one (that’s clearly a hypocrite) acts like an epic asshole.
