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…

Don’t you know? There’s an exclusive pizza party in the women’s bathroom on every Friday and Wednesday.

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.

Ah yes the glory of being one of the most targeted minorities.
A good half of the world either kill or jail trans people.

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.
