This isn’t the first time the actor has found himself embroiled in controversy for speaking out against the trans community.

Is Eugenio Derbez transphobic?

The Mexican actor commented the recent Gender-Affirming Care law that was passed earlier this year in California.

During an interview with Azteca Uno, Derbez shared his opinion on the law that was recently passed in the state where he lives.

Eugenio expressed his disapproval of allowing children being allowed to receive gender-affirming healthcare without their parents’ consent.

«In my personal opinion, I feel it’s very wrong. It’s one of the things that sometimes makes you question whether to live in California or not.»

Derbez is angry with California lawmakers

Eugenio Derbez voiced his displeasure with California lawmakers for passing the law supporting the trans community.

«It can’t be that you have to be 21 years old to buy cigarettes or alcohol, but you can change your gender at 12. It’s madness,» said Derbez.

The Mexican actor’s comments have upset members of the trans community in countries like Mexico and the United States.

Derbez’s statements come amidst a wave of anti-trans laws causing concern in the LGBTQ+ community in the US.

People lash out at Eugenio Derbez on social media

Derbez made these comments recently when he was caught on his way to board a plane at LAX in California.

California supports gender-affirming care for trans children

California is one of the states in the country that supports children who wish to start transitioning.

California laws state that any child over 12 years old can begin gender-affirming care without parental consent.

In stark contrast to states like Kansas or Texas, which are trying to block laws protecting the trans community, California remains steadfast in its support.

Currently, nonprofit organizations continue their activism to strengthen laws in favor of the trans community in the US.

Eugenio Derbez is accused of transphobia

In February 2023, infobae reported that Derbez was supporting a law that could harm trans children.

The proposal aimed to prohibit Mexican children from accessing gender-affirming treatments or surgeries.

The actor remains silent on social media

Recently, Derbez shared that he and his family bid farewell to Fiona, their beloved pet, whom they considered a member of the family.
