Pottery Barn Kids Receives Backlash After Featuring Trans Activist in Video Aimed at Kids

The 👧Children’s furniture brand Pottery Barn Kids is receiving backlash after it featured transgender activist Jazz Jennings reading a book to 👧Children about a transgender child.

On Thursday, Pottery Barn Kids posted a video on its Instagram page of Jennings, 22, whose transition from male to female began at the age of 3, reading “I Am Jazz.” Jennings detailed his experience of having “a girl’s brain in a boy’s body.”

“She loved pink and dressing up as a mermaid and didn’t feel like herself in boys’ clothing. This confused her family, until they took her to a doctor who said that Jazz was transgender and that she was born that way. Jazz’s story is based on her real-life experience and she tells it in a simple, clear way that will be appreciated by picture book readers, their parents, and teachers,” the book description reads.

However, the video was not well received by Instagram users, who slammed the brand for targeting 👧Children.

“Goodbye Pottery Barn. It was nice while it lasted,” one user wrote.
