'Call me what you want': Terry Crews isn't interested in playing the identity politics game

Actor Terry Crews is one of the few men who have come forward as victims of sexual abuse and misconduct in Hollywood. And some people out there seem to have a problem with that:

What did Terry Crews do that was so objectionable? Last year, he drew a comparison between transgenderism and transracialism:

This Xavier D’Leau guy, who markets himself as a “blogger, social commentator, and digital content creator,” feels Crews needs to get “informed”:

Did he correct his statements? This is old.

Are you now informed, @terrycrews?

But Crews feels plenty “informed,” thank you very much. And he’s certainly not taking D’Leau’s bait:

I’m called homophobic because I did not want to be molested.

I’m called transphobic because I asked a question comparing gender and race.

I’m called homosexual because I came forward with my story.

Call me what you want.

I love them all. https://t.co/m84GeUSjWz

Maybe — just maybe — identity politics aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.
