“I thought I was promoting anti-bullying. Now I have such regret about it.”
Kelly’s public acknowledgment that she may have been wrong to promote surgery as a solution for struggling youth won praise from followers for demonstrating honesty and a willingness to spread a more balanced message on an issue of importance.
“I just really don’t want this to happen to other vulnerable young girls,” Isabelle Ayala, who previously underwent surgery, said. “I don’t want puberty to be the enemy. I don’t want our natural biology to be the enemy.”
“Good for her! More people need to understand. She has a huge following. It’s important she spread the right message, and that is sticking up for the truth,” wrote one follower.
“I have nothing but respect for Megyn Kelly. I also have a great deal of respect for Katlyn Jenner. Both exhibit honesty and balance. it is the use of false victimhood for political leverage that is reprehensible,” another said.
The segment showed Kelly’s commitment to sharing unvarnished opinions on social issues that resonate with conservatives but are willing to reexamine past positions.
