Paul Stanley, a member of the rock band KISS, weighed in on the push for the public to embrace body mutilating sex-change procedures for children and teens in an April 30 Twitter post titled “My Thoughts on What I’m Seeing.” “There is a BIG difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children into questioning their sexual identification as though some sort of game and then parents in some cases allow it,” he said.

Stanley added: “There ARE individuals who as adults may decide reassignment is their needed choice but turning this into a game or parents normalizing it as some sort of alternative or believing that because a little boy likes to play dress up in his sister’s clothes or a girl in her brother’s, we should lead them steps further down a path that’s far from the innocence of what they are doing.”

“With many children who have no real sense of sexuality or sexual experiences caught up in the ‘fun’ of using pronouns and saying what they identify as, some adults mistakenly confuse teaching acceptance with normalizing and encouraging a situation that has been a struggle for those truly affected and have turned it into a sad and dangerous fad.”

In response to pushback over his comments, Stanley released another tweet on May 4 contending that “while my thoughts were clear, my words were not. Most importantly and above all else, I support those struggling with their sexual identity while enduring constant hostility and those whose path leads them to reassignment surgery.”

“It’s hard to fathom the kind of conviction that one must feel to take those steps,” Stanley added. “A paragraph or two will remain far too short to fully convey my thoughts or point of view so I will leave that for another time and place.”
