Brittany Aldean appeared on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ Thursday and opened up about her fight to protect children. Aldean, the wife of country music star Jason Aldean, received backlash after thanking her family for not changing her gender during her "tomboy phase."  Brittany Aldean told Tucker Carlson that she's "advocating for children." (Getty Images) "I'm advocating for children," she told Carlson. "I think that children should not be allowed to make these life-changing decisions at such a young age.They are not mature enough; they should have parents who love them and advocate for them regardless.

We have ages on everything. We have it for cigarettes, driving, military, voting… yet for some reason people think that we can let a child choose their gender so young?

It's very baffling to me." She reiterated that children are "too young to make those decisions" and that they are "life-changing." "There are so many consequences of doing that as such a young age," she continued. "Society should be able to sit back, speak our minds about it and fight for these children." Jason Aldean and Brittany Aldean share two children. (Getty Images) Days prior, Aldean took to her Instagram and announced the launch of her new charity clothing line, also stating what she wrote was simply "taken out of context." "Per usual, my words have been taken out of context over the last week," she captioned photos of the new tops Wednesday. "Instead of getting twisted about the twisting of my words, I’ve chosen to bring some good out of it," she added.
