You may have seen it by now, the new documentary on Netflix with Will Ferrell and Harper Steele, which part of it was shot in Texas.
Will Ferrell is now saying he regrets part of that stop in Amarillo. At their visit to the Big Texan Steak Ranch, Steele toasts to the crowd, commenting about transgender rights in Texas.
Suffice it to say, that went over like a lead balloon. That toast doesn't make it into the documentary itself, but the aftermath does. Steele, who recently came out as transgender herself, details how uncomfortable the experience quickly got.
Ferrell says he feels responsible for not vetting the situation's potential. This all comes as Texas lawmakers disallow transgender folks from changing the sex marker on their driver's licenses.
