TLC announced it has dropped Jill Duggar Dillard's husband Derick Dillard from the Duggar Family Reality TV show "Counting On." Dillard has been hounding transgender teen Jazz Jennings with Biblical maledictions and homophobic slurs. The 14-year-old celebrity of "I Am Jazz" took to Twitter to respond to Dillard's criticism. The youth's response to the ex "19 Kids and Counting" celebrity shocked folks.
Derick Dillard confronts Jazz Jennings with sin
The former reality television star called out Jazz Jennings, who has transgendered to a girl, saying there's no such thing as gender identification.
Dillard blasted the child celebrity's parents and TLC for using Jennings to promote an LGBTQ agenda. The Duggars' son-in-law claims he's not picking on Jazz but only warning of sinful things on reality TV. Folks will remember that Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar covered up Josh Duggar's molestation of Jill, Jessa Duggar Seewald, Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth on "19 Kids and Counting."
Folks ask 'Counting On' where is the love?
The reality television dad of two goes by the Twitter handle @Derick4Him and says everything he does is for the glory of God. He claims that calling out gay and lesbian "sin" shows love to God and to the sinner. A lot of folks already have trouble seeing the Duggar family of "19 Kids and Counting" as loving.
Duggars have an agenda?
People found it odd that Derick accused Jennings parents of doing exactly what the Duggar family has always done on "19 Kids and Counting"--promote an agenda. Michelle Duggar used her "Counting On" fame to encourage voters to reject LGBT community members, calling them child molesters. The further irony is seen in the fact that child molester, adulterer, obscenity addict Josh Duggar worked for a Christian organization whose goal was to ban gays.
In the face of constant ignorance and hatred I prefer to disregard negative opinions and continue moving forward with love💖

Transgender kid confronts Dillard with love
Jazz tweeted a response, maybe to the ex "Counting On" celebrities, that left a lot of folks sniffing. The youth had no time to waste on "ignorance and hatred" and suggested that everyone move on with love.
A lot of parallels were drawn between adult persecutor Derick's "immature" behavior and the child victim's adult response. Folks were impressed that the reality TV star resisted the schadenfreude in mentioning Dillard's eviction from the Duggars' show on TLC. People noted that from a supposed missionary, Derick was pretty unChristian and that from a kid supposedly living in sin, the response was exactly what Jesus would do.
