Paul Stanley, the famous member of the rock band Kiss, gave his opinion about gender reassignment treatments for minors and the position that parents should have regarding this issue.
The band’s vocalist used his Twitter account to criticize those who promote a lifestyle that can confuse children and even encourage them to question their sexual identity.
“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 shared.
Stanley explained that, although for adults gender reassignment may be what they need, this alternative should not be treated as something natural and stressed that many children do not have a “real sense of sexuality,” so insisting that they use pronouns that do not correspond to their biological sex could leave them “trapped” and end up affecting them.
There are people “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,” he said highlighting that “normalizing and even encouraging” pronouns and gender identity has become a “sad and dangerous fad.”

Dee Snider endorses the statement
The renowned lead singer of the band Twisted Sister, Dee Snider, who was questioned for the explicit lyrics of his songs and was even summoned to the Senate in the past for this reason, made it clear that he agrees that gender reassignment treatments in minors can be dangerous.
Snider not only shared Stanley’s words via Twitter but also recounted that he had a time when he “felt pretty” but is grateful that his parents didn’t jump to conclusions.
“Well said, Paul Stanley,” he added in his publication.
