Tommy Lee is stirring up controversy on his social media page after reposted a clip from far-right news network OAN.
The drama began Friday when the Mötley Crüe drummer, 60, whose former guitarist is currently suing the band, reposted a clip from One America News in which anchor Liz Wheeler delivered an opinion piece.
‘After transgender and transracial, we got trans-abled,’ she said. ‘Yeah, this one’s really messed up.’
Wheeler then went on to list rare incidents from several years ago in which a few people had intentionally maimed themselves. She did not say they suffered from Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), a condition in which able-bodied people believe they are meant to be disabled, have harmed themselves.

She also made reference to a man who allegedly tried to hire a nanny to treat him like a baby. The anchor failed to mention that the man had been arrested on human trafficking charges for the scam.
She finished up the sermon saying, ‘If a kid can be transgender because he feels like a girl, who are we to tell a child he must attend school or obey his parents or refuse him a beer when he orders one. You can’t have it both ways.’
When Tommy shared the clip, he added his own comment, ‘Where does it end people?!?!,’ according to TMZ.
Questlove was one of the first to clap back writing, ‘OAN tho? #unfollow’ but pal Crissangel, agreed with the rocker writing ‘100%.
After removing the clip, the Wild Side artist took to Instagram with a long message saying, ‘I deleted my “controversial” post because I am in no way transphobic or against the LGBTQIA+ community….’
‘S***, I’m the gayest motherf***er around!’ he contended on the message written against a background of pink penises.
He explained the clip was meant to draw attention to the rare incidents of self-mutilation.
‘I just don’t agree with how far some things have been taken. I just feel it’s crazy that some people are blinding themselves because they feel they should’ve been born blind.’Commentary: OAN anchor Liz Wheeler compared being transgender to a rare incidents of people maiming themselves because they ‘feel’ they should be disabled. She did not mention they suffered from Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), a rare psychological conditionGayest: Tommy said he was not transphobic in a long post, calling himself ‘the gayest motherf***er around!’Thinking: Tommy said he posted the commentary because Wheeler’s allegations ‘got me thinking… about where this and our world is all going’
‘I get being born female and identifying as male, or being born male and identifying as female, or whatever, he said.
Then referring to the some of Wheelers other allegations, he wrote, ‘but when ppl start identifying as babies or animals… WTF!’
‘I posted that because it got me thinking (and you should too) about where this and our world is all going.’
The Grammy winner added a post script, writing next to the explanation, ‘AAaaand…don’t even get me started with the AI s**t… before you know it you’ll be wondering if anything in this world is real or what it seems.’

And having one’s gender-specific bits cut off isn’t self-mutilation?
Adults are free to do that, like a (birth gender) woman who had enough plastic surgery to look like Barbie, or like the examples of people who had a limb removed because it was incompatible with their self-image (or were they maybe desperate for attention? just how many safeguards are there and how consistently WITHOUT attempt to politically enable any particular category are they applied, before something irreversible is done?). Lots of risk of physical complications, and less than clarity that long-term outcomes either physical or psychological are better.
Minds are (or should be) subject to themselves enough to come to some terms with the bodies they’ve got, rather than altering the bodies to conform. Not saying it should be illegal FOR ADULTS, but perhaps just not paid for at public expense nor extraordinarily accommodated.
Dems say that a child is too young to be held responsible when they hurt or kill somebody, but they want kids at a very young age to determine if they are boys or girls and Dems also think these same kids should vote at age 16. Let’s wait until these ‘kids’ are legal age, 18, to let them vote and then to determine what their views are on their gender. They need to grow up and experience life before they are able to think on these important decisions.
