TEEN Mom star Tyler Baltierra has spoken about his “feminine energy” in a revealing new social media post.
Fans praised the reality star, who is married to Catelynn Lowell, for his heart-warming honesty and openness.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Tyler, 30, clapped back at a recent comment from a critic.
“He is so feminine,” the troll had written under one of the Teen Mom star’s recent posts.
But Tyler proudly told his 3.2m followers: “The femininity I inherited from my upbringing is one of my most confidentially secure traits as a man.
“I have no shame baby!”
Replying directly to the troll, he elaborated: “I was raised in a household full of women and I have no shame about any of the energies I may have inherited from it.
“I never witnessed the standards of acceptance in our society when it comes to masculine versus feminine and I feel blessed every day for that.”
Tyler and his wife Catelynn, 30, share daughters Novalee, seven, Vaeda, three, and Rya, one, as well as Carly, 13, whom they placed for adoption while they were still in high school.
In his comment, the proud dad continued: “I’m actually raising a household full of future women and I have the emotional maturity and experience to really help them as they grow up!

‘GO TYLER GO!’
Fans gushed over Tyler’s inspiring post.
“I love this!” wrote one on social media.

Another agreed: “I don’t think he is feminine to be honest, but it’s amazing that he remains strong and confident in himself despite what people think.”
“Good for him. His attitude is refreshing,” wrote a third.
