Jennifer Lopez shared in her new Netflix documentary that she was banned from using the female gender symbol during her recent Super Bowl halftime performance because it wasn’t inclusive.

The 52-year-old pop singer shared a conversation she had with British director Hamish Hamilton about the logistics of her then-upcoming performance at Super Bowl 2022. Hamilton admitted his thoughts might be “contentious,” but given all the “identity politics” going on in the world, using the symbol that means woman wouldn’t be a good idea.
