Steve Hofmeyr is back to add transphobia to his repertoire.

Not surprising from a man who digs the old South African flag so much he posts about it on social media.

At some point, he came across a story doing the rounds about Charlize Theron and her decision to accept her child, after her child revealed to her at three-years-old that she identifies as a girl and not a boy.

Steve hasn’t had any good or bad press in a while so he weighed in.

Here’s IOL:

…the actress said: “Yes, I thought she was a boy, too. Until she looked at me when she was three years old and said: ‘I am not a boy!’ So there you go! I have two beautiful daughters who, just like any parent, I want to protect and I want to see thrive.”

Theron’s admission about raising a transgender child has garnered mixed responses from the public.

Steve’s response on Twitter was as follows:

Translation:  “Dear Charlize, My daughter sometimes wears pants. She is 20 months old. Is it perhaps the right time to ask her if she feels a balance of y-chromosome?”.

The responses to the tweet were divided between those who tried to educate him, and those who reinforced his idiocy.

Nobody asked you, Louise.

There’s a difference between wanting a pet dolphin and gender identity. Studies have shown that children are perfectly capable of understanding gender identity.

Theron is one of the first celebrities to speak out about raising a transgender child.

This probably won’t be the last time Steve speaks out about something that has nothing to do with him.
