Dolly Parton apparently misguided on trans issues

I saw the AIBU thread today, and I was uncomfortable with criticism so soon after her passing. However, I'm now wondering if Dolly Parton did actually support the things articles have claimed, or if she was trying to be diplomatic and her words were quoted as supporting TRA aims. I hope the former.

No idea. Probably just steered clear.

No, the thread I saw linked articles where she was asked about them.

''I just know if I have to pee, I’m going to pee,” she continued. “I don’t care where it’s going to be.”

  • this was in response to being asked about how she felt about the 2015 Carolina Bill which banned biological men from women's toilets. It sounds to me like she was maybe implying women shouldn't mind if transwomen are in the same loos? Or maybe she was just trying to give a neutral response-I hope so.
