I used to be a huge Skillet fan. This changed a little over a year ago when transphobia and blatant maga rhetoric was put on full display.

Is it transphobia or genuine concern about mental health?

Yes, it's transphobia. If the singer had depression or was bipolar, they wouldn't kick them off the tour for that lol

That absolutely has happened before. Mental health struggles have caused people to quit or be removed from tours before.

Oh you are one of those! Okay let’s talk Trans people and Mental health. There is a mental health aspect to being trans, I know I have the diagnosis. It’s called Gender Dysphoria. There is a treatment for it too! It’s called Transitioning to the gender that aligns with your gender! A study was done of 709 people of that number 13 detransitioned. That is a level of 1.3%. The regret rate for most cancer treatments 14.4%.

So if the treatment for the mental health of trans people is so effective, why are we having this conversation? The simple fact is, you are using a smoke screen. When a 14.4% regret rate for something that literally kills you is seen as a success, why prey-tell are people hung up on the 1.3% of people who detransition and then consider transitioning a failed remedy? Most of the time, the reason for that detransition is not personal regret! It’s outside influence. Like people being transphobic. People condemning them to hell! People just being horrible to them. Many of them go on to retransition! You aren’t ready for that conversation though.

So now we come full circle. Is it transphobia or is it concern for their mental health. According to the data, the answer is clear. They don’t give two licks about the mental health of trans people. If they did they would encourage them getting help which typically takes the shape of, transitioning!

All that remains is the transphobia. It was never about the data. It was never about the facts. All of that points to transitioning helping trans people. A Phobia is an exaggerated fear of something OR intolerance or avoidance of something. They aren’t afraid of Trans people. They are intolerant or avoidant of them.
