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.'

Sad. It's hard enough for children to grow up in this shallow, ugly, morally bankrupt world, without having even more confusion forced on them by attention seeking parents. God help us 🙏.
Yes, I learned to swim at the YMCA where everyone swam in the nude. We sure as hell never had the body image obsession that we now have in this country.
Money better spent on psychiatry, both for the child and the parents.
THAT is exactly what is going on there. The child is a victim of her mental illness.
We’ll at least moving the stuff is only equal to “erasing,” not the more customary “genocide”
Sick disgusting filth.
That sounds about right. What idiots.
She is actively encouraging her 7-year-old kid to think this way. What a creep.
It’s amazing how many kids of Hollywood parents are confused about their sex. You would think it’s a contagious disease. Such a small group of people have such a high percentage of this rare disorder. It’s almost like they push their children towards this lifestyle. Their kids are nothing but fashion accessories. .
What a sick puppy.
They should take her seven year old from her immediately.
Talk about child abuse.
Why can’t she take the kid to the back of the store anyway? She should be grateful that it’s in the store at all.
Yeah, I guess she knows about hate. Hate for normal people.
It’s abuse and she’s an abuser.
Yeah, I'm sure that's natural, not influenced by adults (teachers, parents) whatsoever.
Who is she? Sounds paranoid to me. If she doesn’t tell the world her child is non-binary, whatever that means, then no one will bother either of them.
More like a publicity seeking largely unknown actress, actor, or both.
Friend: “When I grow up I'm going to be a triceratops!”
Son: “You can't be a triceratops - you are a boy, and you'll always be a boy!”
It was amazing to my wife how much difference just a year or two makes in the brain of a kid.
Of course now we both are amazed at some of these parents and doctors that push the trans-cult.
I liken it to “The Emperor Has no Clothes” story. And I have no idea, but it wouldn't surprise me if that story isn't based on the real-life situation of some French King (and many others in the 15th Century) that believed themselves to be made of glass and would break if not careful.
The King's servants would pack him in a crate filled with straw even to transport him to the chamber pot!
I wonder if the term “non-binary” DOES apply to little kids.
“So Johnny - do you like boys or girls?”
“I like everybody in my class - well except for Ben who is a bully.”
“Money better spent on psychiatry...”
Good luck. In many states the therapists have to go along with the patient’s delusions or risk losing their licenses for “conversion therapy”.

Keeping “hitting them”, folks. Even better. Hit harder.
