Chelsea Green isnt letting former WWE star Val Venis twist her messageand she just shut him down in one sharp tweet.
It all started after Green posted her support for International Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31. One troll replied with a nasty, baiting tweet: If Roman Reigns woke up tomorrow and decided he was a woman, would you be okay with him using your bathroom with his massive big dog flopping about? Its almost as if youve put about 10 seconds of thought into it and jumped onto social media for cheap affirmation.
Green clapped back hard: I hate to break it to you but not only have I shared locker rooms with all genders, Ive also shared bathrooms. So no, I wouldnt give a fck.
She followed that up with a personal truth: In fact, Ive got family members that are trans so Ive given not just 10 seconds of thought to this, but close to 30 years and 10 seconds of thought. If youd like to take your bigotry elsewhere, I would greatly appreciate that .
But then Val Venis jumped in with a full-on rant, accusing her of weaponizing her platform. His tweet read:
Professional wrestlers are entertainers, first and foremost. However, when entertainers step beyond their role in the entertainment industry to engage in political discourse, it highlights a troubling cultural trend: the expectation that everyday people should blindly align with the political stances of boobtube celebrities without any due process scrutiny. Even more concerning is the tendency to vilify dissenters with labels like transphobic, or bigot, or as @ImChelseaGreen called me, hateful. This uncritical idolization of celebrity opinions is not just irrational; it takes a nuke to the foundation of any meaningful dialogue and critical thinking. My political positions are always open for scrutiny. Republicans regularly challenge my positions, libertarians challenge my positions, and even anarchists challenge my positions. Leftists however do not challenge my positions. They instantly throw the labels of hateful bigot and anything phobic at the reputations of anyone who dare challenge their insane positions.
After being repeatedly tagged by Venis, Green finally respondedone and done.
Val, Ive been holding back from responding with the same level of hostility youve shown, but since you keep tagging me, Ill say this and I wont be responding again: Im CanadianI cant even vote. So when I speak about human rights, Im not talking about politics; Im talking about equality. Although I am sure you would love to take this time to further push your political agenda. I will continue to push for the LGBTQ+ community with my cis privilege. It is the least I can do. End of discussion.
Green has made it clear shes not here to argue politicsshes here to stand up for people. Her response shut down the debate and reminded fans why shes never afraid to speak up.
