Nonbinary "Queer Eye" star alleges Shepard's podcast "Armchair Expert" left out portions of trans-rights debate without providing him insight into editing despite explicit requests, leaving unanswered questions about the conversation that drove him to tears.

Jonathan Van Ness, a nonbinary star known for his role in the show 'Queer Eye,' claimed that Dax Shepard's podcast 'Armchair Expert' edited out significant portions of their conversation about trans rights.
Van Ness stated that he specifically asked for approval or insight into the editing process following a heated exchange, however, this request was ignored, leading to unanswered questions about the conversation.
Shepard's podcast episode included a tense conversation over trans youth, with Shepard implying he sympathized with conservatives who were uncomfortable with the pace of change in the country regarding transgender rights.
