'Well said': Dee Snider of Twisted Sister ​fame​ agrees with Kiss rocker's statement about children and gender identity

Rocker Dee Snider of Twisted Sister fame agreed with Kiss member Paul Stanley's statement noting that parents should not encourage their children to identify as the opposite gender.

"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," Stanely wrote. "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 natural 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," Stanley wrote.

Snider retweeted Stanley's post and expressed agreement.

"You know what? There was a time where I 'felt pretty' too. Glad my parents didn't jump to any rash conclusions! Well said, @PaulStanleyLive," Snider tweeted.

"Parents need to be less reactionary; Right and Left. No need to steer the child in either direction. Let the kid figure it out for themselves knowing their family is supportive. I had a vet/cop harda** dad who, while he shook his head A LOT...let me do my thing," Snider tweeted.

Some states have moved to prohibit the provision of gender transition measures for minors.
