Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke faced serious backlash after his transphobic remarks on TikTok. Radke’s TikTok account was banned accordingly, and later he realised he was ‘shadowbanned’ on Twitter, as well.
The singer tweeted on July 25, asking people to empathise with the consequences he faced after stating his opinion on trans women:
“Imagine getting your tik tok deleted, or losing your job or alienated for saying that a trans woman can’t have a period, you all have mothers and sisters and wives and girlfriends and know damn well the struggles of being a born women and the pain of endometriosis etc and have the audacity to try and silence or censor the reality. BULLSH*T”
On the 26, Ronnie responded to some Twitter users who were offended by his take, claiming that ‘basic biology and common senses are argued due to transgender:’
“We have brainwashed kids into thinking that basic biology and common sense need to be argued, the confusion of American kids is the agenda to the powers that be, divide and conquer. a man isn’t a man and a women isn’t a woman anymore, nobody can tell you what a women is, they’re all terrified to get publicly shamed for it.”
When a fan of his called Radke out, he shifted the course of his argument by stating that ‘he identifies as a black man,’ and started a whole discussion:
“It’s not a completely different thing, you need the respect the fact that I identify as a black man if you want me to respect you identify as a woman, you aren’t allowed to pick and choose.”
Another user pointed out that Ronnie’s approach diminishes trans experience, he defended himself by saying:
“I identify as a good person because of how many people I have helped quietly financially, emotionally and spiritually, but y’all say I’m a bad person so ALL of you are literally transphobic, bigot pieces of shit for assuming the wrong identify of me and I will not tolerate it.”
