Twilight star Rachelle Lefevre hit back at the hateful comments she received online after revealing she can no longer take her non-binary seven-year-old to Target after it moved its Pride collection to the back of stores.
Lefevre, 44, - who played Victoria in the franchise's second movie, New Moon - first took to her Instagram to call out the retail store as she appeared to choke back tears as she thought about how it would affect her seven-year-old child.
She then posted a follow-up video telling her critics that she knows 'how much pain you have to be in to hate that hard.'
'I know the kind of hate you have to put inside you to numb the hurt,' she said in the video. 'So instead of hating back, I just choose to know how much pain you're in.'
It comes after Target moved the display to the back of some Southern stores after it made waves for its 'tuck-friendly' swimwear. In the span of just 10 days, the company lost more than $10billion in market capitalization as it continues to face backlash for the Pride-themed merchandise.
Lefevre accused Target of 'trying to erase' the LGBTQ community, including her non-binary seven-year-old, after her local store moved their Pride merchandise display to the back.
It's not clear which store she visited, but the actress appears to be currently based in the Nashville, Tennessee area.
'So in my post about Target, I mentioned that my kid was non-binary,' she began in her latest Instagram video as she thanked those who supported her.
The actress said she initially posted a video 'punching back' at the hateful commenters, but then deleted it and replaced it with another one saying she decided to 'choose to know how much pain you're in.'

She can order online and stay home if she choses.
Don’t mistake pain for disgust and revulsion.
I have looked up the meaning of ‘non-binary’ like 7 times. I cannot for the life of me remember it.
Maybe I just don’t want to.
She should stay at home with her weirdo kid
“I have looked up the meaning of ‘non-binary’ like 7 times.”
Basically to them it means 2 + 2 = 5
She should have that poor kid taken away from her before it’s too late, but sounds like it is.
Never heard of her.
Crimea River.
It’s hard to remember things that make no sense, especially if you maintain a well-disciplined mind.
A 7-year old cannot be non-binary, in the same manner that the kid cannot be a unicorn, or a bear, or a Thundercat, or Spider-Man, or any number of things their flourishing imagination can dream up. Additionally, a ‘non-binary’ child simply means that the parent/guardian is planting nonsense in their head. The kid is not old enough to even recognize what that really means.
Are you allowed to use gender-specific words like that?
She’s Canadian from Quebec. That explains. They are libtards of the highest order.
Mom's the weirdo, the kid is an unwitting innocent.
And yes the world would be a better place if Mom stayed at home and somebody rescued that poor child.
I don’t believe one word of this. She’s so full of s&it.
Let’s be honest she can take the child she abuses to Target, she is CHOOSING not to.
“ her non-binary seven-year-old ”
So she has forced mental illness onto a 7 year old so she has a trophy to gather victim status .
Wickedness
I feel sorry for her poor 7-year-old.
She is quite a sicko. I’m sure her kid did not dream up that they are “non-binary”—whatever the heck that means—by themselves.
Hilarious, aren’t they?
