It seems that "Counting on" star Jill Duggar's husband, Derick Dillard has certain issues about gender. He recently made quite a snide remark about another TLC talent, Jazz Jennings. Jennings stars in "I am Jazz" and is among the youngest celebrity transgenders at the age of 16.
In a tweet, Jill Duggar's husband said called Jennings' show an oxymoron. He even added that "Transgender is a myth."
What an oxymoron... a "reality" show which follows a non-reality. "Transgender" is a myth. Gender is not fluid; it's ordained by God. https://t.co/YxzH5o5Ujx

Why would Dillard say such a thing?
According to E!
Online, the husband of Jessa Duggar received his fair share of criticism from netizens. Many fans criticized Dillard for his tweet.
It ranges from questions asking why a grown man would have to throw shade at a teenage girl, saying Dillard was mean and that he is bullying and attacking a child. Other social media users addressed the network and asked why TLC is allowing this to happen. Another Twitter user even called the situation "hypocritical."
Now, there are some who gave their support to Derick Dillard, saying that it takes courage to be able to speak the "truth. On the other side, Jennings mentioned that although she personally experienced cyber-bullying from way back, she still continues to share her life story.
TLC did not issue any comments but 16-year-old star retweeted some netizens' statements against Dillard and herself said that she is used to this kind of bullying. For some reason, Derick Dillard, issued a tweet saying he has nothing against "him" (Jennings) but a Twitter user was quick to correct him, saying Jennings should be referred to as "her."
I want to be clear. I have nothing against him. I only have issue with the words and definitions being propagated here.
