The 49-year-old Sherlock star, who was the first contestant announced for
the BBC celebrity dancing show last week, told her Instagram followers that
she thinks the backlash is over her comments in March about a child
performing a drag act.

In the video, she said: “I’m sorry if you feel like you need to boycott Strictly
for a tweet I made about a drag show but I don’t think 12-year-olds should
be doing overly sexualised drag acts.

“That’s my personal opinion, that’s all. I’m not pushing it on anyone else, I’m
just saying that’s how I feel.

"But my tweet back in March was regarding a 12-year-old who was doing it in
front of adults. And it just upset me because I saw a kid, a little kid, a 12-
year-old, doing something very over-sexualised. And I didn't think it was
right...

"And that was my tweet. I didn't associate that with the trans community, nor
would I associate that with the trans community, because I think they're two
separate things. And I'm not transphobic... I am a firm supporter of the
legitimate trans community."

But some fans were very unhappy with the news as they vowed to switch off
and not watch the 2023 series as a result of her addition. @mettycalfe said:
"Definitely giving it a miss then."

@riverstour said: "There’s as much chance of me watching this year, as there
is of me not buying coffee from Costa." @ellarhapse said: "we won’t be
watching."

good on you Amanda for defending yourself, i believe you


she just voiced her opinion and she has a point tbh, 12 yr olds shouldn't be dressing up as drag acts, that is more something for when you're mature

How did we reach the point where a woman voicing concerns about a child performing a sexualised form of entertainment for adults is the villain?

I don't know but it is scary, and I am glad I am not a parent of young kids having to navigate through all this

Some people on Twitter complain about anything and everything.

I honestly would never justify myself to that type of crowd on the site.

"‘I lost quite a few followers for saying that a semi-naked man in thigh high
boots dancing in a highly sexualised way shouldn’t be performing in front of
babies and it tells me everything I need to know about where society is
heading. How do you not agree with me on this???’"

Most people who have values, but unfortunately there are the sheep who will defend it

Just had a look on twitter, and it's people of both perspectives arguing. Hope this helps bring blood pressure back to normal for some of you. There is no pile on.

Some people on here will complain about anything and everything.

Moaned about a woman taking her kid out for a walk. And they expect to be taken seriously :joker:

The same people who cheered on a father running children over with his car but the gays are brainwashing kids. You have to laugh

Yippity yip

Imagine when the think of the children crowd discover the billion dollar child beauty pageantry industry :worry:

:joker:

No one cheered him on, all that was said was that it was understandable how he lost it after being pushed to the limits to protect his son, but carry on believing a completely different narrative to make yourself feel better...yippity yip

Imagine thinking it’s understandable to run children over

All them sexualised children wearing dresses and make up :worry:

The gays and drag queens are poisoning our kids!

Yes, they are like a Vermin

Fair point.

And seriously? What's wrong with a Mother taking her kid out for a walk?:laugh:

Who did that on here? It's disgusting to cheer on an action like that imo.
