People on twitter are tryna cancel him now
Lopez, 45, appeared on The Candace Owens Show last month, and the two spoke about what Owens described as a 'weird trend' coming out of Hollywood, citing Charlize Theron's upbringing of her seven-year-old daughter Jackson, who identifies as a transgender girl.
Theron, 43, in April told DailyMail.com that she is raising Jackson to be a girl based on the child's stated preference: 'I thought she was a boy, too, until she looked at me when she was three-years-old and said, "I am not a boy!"'
Even though I'm not a parent, I nannied for five years of my life and the things that come out of children's mouths - they say whatever in the moment, you don't know what they've seen on TV what got in there ear,' she said. 'I've had children say they were mermaids, I've had children say they could fly - and jump off a staircase and thank God I caught him, right, cause he thought he could be Superman.
Said Lopez: 'My God if you're three-years-old, I just think it's dangerous as a parent to make this determination then ... it's sort of alarming and my gosh, I just think about the repercussions later on.'
Lopez, who has two children with wife Courtney Laine Mazza - daughter Gia, eight, and son Dominic, five - added, 'I think parents need to allow their kids to be kids, but at the same time, you got to be the adult in the situation.'
He said that a child's 'formative years' are a more appropriate time to have the discussion,' and before that is 'way too young.'
Theron made clear where she stands on the gender issue.
'I have two beautiful daughters who, just like any parent, I want to protect and I want to see thrive,' the Atomic Blonde star said. 'They were born who they are and exactly where in the world both of them get to find themselves as they grow up, and who they want to be, is not for me to decide.'
The Oscar-winning Monster actress continued: 'My job as a parent is to celebrate them and to love them and to make sure that they have everything they need in order to be what they want to be. And I will do everything in my power for my kids to have that right and to be protected within that.'
Elsewhere in the interview, Lopez was asked about the growth of movements such as #BelieveWomen, which he said had to be handled with care.
'I think blanket statements or hashtags like Believe Women ... I think that's a very dangerous hashtag ... because people lie and sometimes those people are women and God forbid you have a son out there and a girl may have felt a certain way about a situation - dismissed, hurt, whatever - and is feeling vengeful and just decides to tell a certain story that's not exactly true ... come back and really hurt that individual,' Lopez said. 'And if were just supposed to assume she's telling the truth, without any sort of proof, evidence - that's incredibly dangerous.
