EXCLUSIVE – Former “Twisted Sister” frontman Dee Snider is continuing to criticize pushing puberty blockers and gender medical operations on kids while insisting he is still an ally of the of LGBTQ community despite recent efforts to cancel him.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, the outspoken rock star claimed that allowing kids to make life-altering medical decisions at such a young age is evidence that “irresponsible parenting is the norm in society.”
Snider also declared he’s “not gonna take it” when leftists call him a “transphobe” just because he doesn’t support the mutilation of children.
He insists he’s “100%” an “ally” for the LGBTQ community despite his one point of disagreement and urged Americans to “push back” against the mob that’s willing to ostracize them if they don’t line up completely with their beliefs.
Snider expressed support for Stanley’s post, tweeting, “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.”
Stanley eventually walked back his initial comments, providing a subsequent tweet which claimed, “While my thoughts were clear, my words were not.”
Snider however, refused to back down. In response to criticism, the singer 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.”

During the interview, Fox asked Snider what he thought specifically about the idea of society promoting gender reassignment among children.
After first reaffirming he’s “100%” for the LGBTQ community, Snider said, “I think irresponsible parenting is the norm these days rather than the exception. I’m amazed sometimes at just the missteps, and there are things that seem so obvious and yet some parents just don’t seem to get it.”
Also during the interview, Snider slammed the idea that he’s no longer an LGBTQ ally because he disagrees with the notion of providing gender surgeries for kids.
“My response with what happened to SF Pride was more of saying, ‘I’m not going to – I didn’t do anything wrong,” he said.
“No, I’m not going to do [that], just because you’ve decided that I am this. I am going to push back… And my end statement on Facebook with the SF Pride thing was, I am still an ally. I am still with you. I will still stand with you. I will still march with you,” he added.
“If you’re willing to accept any negotiation or any compromise, you’re in the middle, because [with] the extreme right and left there is no compromise,” he said. “Look what happened to me. You know, I said one thing I disagreed with, and I’m transphobic.”
Snider then asked, “Because I disagreed with one point out of you thousands of points? I said one I didn’t agree with, and I’m transphobic?”
