Kiss lead singer and guitarist Paul Stanley expressed controversial opinions on Twitter
Paul Stanleyvocalist and guitarist of kissmade controversial statements on Twitter last Monday, 01. The musician criticized gender-affirming surgeries and declared that they are “confusing young children.”
The note is entitled “My thoughts on what I’m seeing” and came amid debates in the United States about the participation of young people in audiences of drag queen shows, as pointed out by the I have more records than friends.
“There is a big difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing or even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that baffles children, causing them to question sexual identification in a form of game and, in some cases, with parental permission,” he wrote (via Advocate).
“There are individuals who, as adults, can decide to reassign. It’s their necessary choice, but making it a game or parents normalizing it as a natural alternative, believing that because a little boy likes to wear his sister’s clothes, we should take them to the next steps is a way away from their innocence.”
“Many children have no real sense of sexuality and are caught up in the fun of using pronouns and saying they identify. While adults co-fuse the act of teaching acceptance with normalizing and encouraging a situation that is a struggle for those who are affected, turned into a sad and dangerous fashion,” he added.
Dee Snidervocalist of Twisted Sistersupported the declaration of Stanley stating, “You know what? There was a period when I ‘felt beautiful’ too. I’m glad my parents didn’t jump to any conclusions.”
Users pointed to the musicians’ supposed transphobia, although Snider has spoken out in favor of drag queens after attacks by the US Republican party.
You know what? There was a time where I “felt pretty” too. Glad my parents didn’t jump to any rash conclusions! Well said, @PaulStanleyLivehttps://t.co/G80uNyzD7M
