"So I just took the picture. And then she posted the picture before I could even get from there to the show and says something to the effect of, Just two people that know that it's just two genders."
"Just instantly, like, weaponized or politicized. So I got to the arena, and I lit her ass up for doing that. And she should never do that to a person like me."
