Article by Advocate about another aging rock star, in this case Alice Cooper, being an intolerable bigot who lost touch with a world that is progressing beyond his limited imagination
“I’m understanding that there are cases of transgender, but I’m afraid that it’s also a fad, and I’m afraid there’s a lot of people claiming to be this just because they want to be that,” he replied. “I find it wrong when you’ve got a six-year-old kid who has no idea. He just wants to play, and you’re confusing him telling him, ‘Yeah, you’re a boy, but you could be a girl if you want to be.’”
“Well, I can see somebody really taking advantage of this, though,” he said. “A guy can walk into a woman’s bathroom at any time and just say, ‘I just feel like I’m a woman today’ and have the time of his life in there, and he’s not in the least bit… He’s just taking advantage of that situation. Well, that’s going to happen. Somebody’s going to get raped, and the guy’s going to say, ‘Well, I felt like a girl that day, and then I felt like a guy.’ Where do you draw this line?”
So basically just regurgitating the same tired, talking points and offering zero thoughts of his own.
These points are so incredibly dumb.
time of his life in there
What? How? What do you think goes on in the women’s restrooms?
Somebody’s going to get raped
Rapists, well known for how well they abide by laws and social norms, are gonna magically be stopped by a sign that has a little symbol of a woman…

Yeah, those talking points are just fucking moronic. A guy raping someone in a women’s bathroom isn’t suddenly going to be legal or even protected just because they claim to be a woman, neither would be a trans woman assaulting a cis woman. And there’s also not some magical barrier preventing a rapist to enter women’s bathrooms either. There’s a lot of similarly stupid logic that we could apply to old granpas wearing makeup.
Plus, transphobes want people to use their assigned-at-birth gender’s bathroom, which just means trans men (who actually do look like men) would use womens’ bathrooms, which invalidates their other bathroom related points. Of course, we all know that half of them constantly forget trans men exist and the other half want trans people to straight up not exist anymore.
Time of his life in there?? 🤣🤣 Dude needs to check out a woman’s bathroom just once. Wtf is he imagining?
Don’t you know? There’s an exclusive pizza party in the women’s bathroom on every Friday and Wednesday.
And everyone probably has their boobs out!

Where do you draw this line?
The line is arbitrary and society isn’t going to collapse if we get rid of it. I bet he knows 0 non binary people and it doesn’t affect him in any way.
Wow. What a dumb shit.
Ah yes the glory of being one of the most targeted minorities.
A good half of the world either kill or jail trans people.
I’m understanding that there are cases of transgender
Can I have a 24 pack?
Well that’s disappointing :(
Man named “Alice” who wears makeup (classic smokey eye) is transphobic, who would have thought?
This isn’t surprising if you’ve been keeping track of his opinions at all over the past few decades. He’s been a far right wing religious hack for years. Him openly stating he’s a bigot shouldn’t really be a shock to anyone.
