Alice Cooper's makeup products have been dropped from Vampyre Cosmetics' website following comments made by the singer perceived to be anti-trans.

"I find it wrong when you’ve got a 6-year-old kid who has no idea. He just wants to play, and you’re confusing him telling him, ‘Yeah, you’re a boy, but you could be a girl if you want to be,’” he said in a recent interview with Stereogum.

“I mean, if you identify as a tree … I’m going, ‘Come on! What are we in, a Kurt Vonnegut novel?’ It’s so absurd, that it’s gone now to the point of absurdity.”

He added that allowing transgender people to use bathrooms which match their gender identity could lead to violent crimes.

“A guy can walk into a woman’s bathroom at any time and just say, ‘I just feel like I’m a woman today’ and have the time of his life in there,” Cooper said. “He’s just taking advantage of that situation … Somebody’s going to get raped.”

In a statement posted on social media on Friday 25 August, Vampyre Cosmetics said, “In light of recent statements by Alice Cooper we will no​​​​​​​​​ longer be doing a makeup collaboration. We stand with all members of the LGBTQIA+ community and believe everyone should have access to healthcare. All pre-order sales will be refunded.”

Vampyre Cosmetics describes itself as a “women owned, disabled owned and LGBT+ owned” makeup company, according to the business' website.
