KISS singer Paul Stanley has shared his somewhat surprising perspective on the transgender phenomenon that seems to be sweeping the country:

We find it surprising because as a general rule the entertainment industry seems to be all-in on encouraging children to ‘change’ their sex simply because they may exhibit tendencies inconsistent with traditional male/female behavior.
It’s a thoughtful post, and it clearly comes from a place of compassion. Stanley acknowledges that there are some people (ADULT people) who may feel that reassignment is their only option for a happy life, while at the same time noting that kids are not capable of making such life-altering decisions and that their parents have a responsibility to treat them as, you know, kids.
Naturally, some folks decided to look right past the tone and point of Stanley’s message and move right on into smearing Stanley as a transphobe:
Aren’t you in a band of drag queens? I mean, a drag Queen band is cool and all, but you shouldn’t be such a transphobe.

Paul i know you mean well but i don’t think posting a whole paragraph sort of justifying transphobia is the way to go

Even desperate-for-relevancy Keith Olbermann jumped into the fray:

No, Keith, it’s not a game, which is the whole point of his message.
Fortunately, Stanley has plenty of supporters for his common sense take:
You’re getting blasted by the brigade that is insistent on erasing innocence and sexualizing children. You’re over the target, so stay the course.

Brave. Stay strong because cowards will try to bully and punish you for speaking your mind.

Thank you for speaking some common sense.
Our adult world is dominated by cowards who can’t say the most simple truths.

No matter what they say or do, do NOT APOLOGIZE for your perspective here.

Yes, please don’t.
