Shock rocker Alice Cooper — born Vincent Damon Furnier — noted last year that the first thing he does in the morning is “make a cup of coffee, grab [his] Bible, then spend the next hour reading and praying.”
It appears that in addition to being attuned to the highest reality, Cooper, whose new album “Road” debuts Friday, is also cognizant of biological realities that LGBT activists are alternatively keen to dismiss or reject altogether at the expense of the innocent.
After recollecting upon his rise to fame as well as on how he once babysat a young Keanu Reeves — whom he retroactively referred to as “John Wick” — the rocker blasted efforts by gender ideologues to confuse children and woke cultural imperialism in a recent interview with Stereogum.
Stereogum’s Rachel Brodsky ostensibly set Cooper up to win over leftists with a softball question concerning his “forward-thinking responses to questions about sexuality and gender” in a 1974 interview.
“Recently some of your ‘theatrical’ rock peers have commented about gender identity, with Paul Stanley and Dee Snider calling gender-affirming care for kids a ‘sad and dangerous fad,'” said Brodsky. “As someone who played around with gender expectations early on, do you have any thoughts on what some of your contemporaries have said before they walked those comments back?”
Cooper made clear by his response that the time for “Mr. Nice Guy” had passed, at least with regards to gender ideology.
The rocker called so-called transgenderism “a fad,” stressing that it is “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.’ I think that’s so confusing to a kid. It’s even confusing to a teenager.”
“You’re still trying to find your identity, and yet here’s this thing going on, saying, ‘Yeah, but you can be anything you want. You can be a cat if you want to be.’ I mean, if you identify as a tree,” continued Cooper. “And I’m going, ‘Come on! What are we in, a Kurt Vonnegut novel?’ It’s so absurd, that it’s gone now to the point of absurdity.”
“I look at it this way, the logical way: If you have these genitals, you’re a boy. If you have those genitals, you’re a girl,” he said, adding that an individual’s desired sex does not negate their actual sex.
Brodsky, agitated by Cooper’s answer, responded, “I don’t think parents are encouraging doubt in their kids’ identities. I would just hope that they listen to their kids and find pediatricians that provide appropriate care.”
The interviewer’s intimation that parents are better off finding a doctor who might mutilate their confused kids didn’t sit well with Cooper, who suggested he could “see somebody really taking advantage of this.”
Cooper extended his criticism beyond the efforts to confuse kids by social constructivists to the “whole woke thing.”
“Who’s making the rules? Is there a building somewhere in New York where people sit down every day and say, ‘Okay, we can’t say “mother” now. We have to say “birthing person.” Get that out on the wire right now’? Who is this person making these rules? I don’t get it. I’m not being old school about it. I’m being logical,” he said.
Cooper indicated he doesn’t know “one person that agrees with the woke thing,” calling it a “huge comedy.”
Leftists didn’t find Cooper’s critique of gender ideology and woke neologisms funny.
Rolling Stone — fresh off of denigrating a working-class musician, criticizing an anti-child trafficking film, and spreading more falsehoods — denounced Cooper, suggesting he had “leaned on right-wing, anti-trans scare tactics.”
Although Rolling Stone staff writer Jon Blistein took issue with the musician’s apparent refusal to sever sex from gender as the Mayo Clinic has elected to do, he appeared most incensed by Cooper’s suggestion that 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[.] … Somebody’s going to get raped.”
Blistein wrote, “These ‘bathroom predator’ myths been widely debunked.”
However, contrary to Blistein’s contention, there have been multiple incidents in which transvestites have stolen into women’s areas and traumatized the real females therein. For instance, a male reportedly raped a young girl at Stone Bridge High School in Loudoun County, Virginia, after taking advantage of the school’s LGBT policies.
Like Rolling Stone, Billboard zeroed in on Cooper’s apparent opposition to ruining children’s lives with genital mutilation and irreversible hormone therapies, writing that he was “anti-trans” and against “best-practice medical care for transgender youth.”
