Kiss frontman Paul Stanley posted a statement on social media Sunday cautioning parents against allowing young children to undergo sexual transitioning procedures.
"There is a big difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children," Stanley began.
The statement goes on to detail his concerns about children and to express his support for people who make the decision as adults.
The post garnered more than 4 million views in about six hours.
Stanley provided an example of young children dressing in the clothes of an opposite sex sibling, calling the activity "innocent," and cautioning parents against making more of it than it is.
"Many children who have no real sense of sexuality or sexual experiences [get] caught up in the 'fun' of using pronouns and saying what they identify as," Stanley wrote.
He concluded his statement by saying this "sad and dangerous fad" has grown as a result of adults normalizing and encouraging it in the name of promoting acceptance.
Responses to the post were mixed. While some people expressed support for Stanley's sentiments, others were quick to hurl insults and call him a "transphobe."
"All too often, we see celebrities keep quiet on these topics for fear of being called a bigot, but there is nothing bigoted about wanting kids to be kids and waiting until adulthood before making permanent decisions about their lives!" trans activist Sara Higdon told BlazeNews.

Well, it sure is nice seeing a celebrity showing common sense for a change.
George O’Dowd several years ago said that listing pronouns was an ‘attention seeking’ fad. (He knows a few things about attention seeking.) I recall thinking how I would explain to my 1980’s self that I now ‘stand with Boy George.’
Yes it is nice. Most entertainers and Hollywood idiots feel compelled to be supportive of all this trans business.
It’s true.
These adults may as well hand out loaded guns for young children to play with and no instruction.
There are stories of young children going home to declare they are ‘gay’ and a parent killing them because of it.
The harm this can do to them mentally and physically—it’s beyond irresponsible.
It is evil. True evil.
He was getting mauled on Twitter. What he said was nothing more than actual common sense.
Paul stanley/kiss cancelling in 3,.....2,......
Yes, well his freak show act did it’s share of damage to society.
The Kiss bamd member went on to explain, you’re only supposed to have sex with kids, not chop their genitals off. He then broke into their song, “Christine, 16”...
When Boy George and KISS are the voices of reason, you know it’s gotten out of hand.
Governor DeSantis is spending too much time on cultural wars. That is the job of electric guitar players.
I’m old enough to remember when Kiss was considered a dangerous fad.
At least they were incredibly talented musicians. /sarc
This transition surgery renders the patient sterile.
This is eugenics by another name.
