Controversial social media personality Alex Stein drew the ire of social media from a clip of his appearance at a Texas state senate hearing. Stein compared having transgender people in the US military to the suicide bombers employed by the Taliban inAfghanistan.

A clip of Stein at a Texas state senate hearing circulated onX, where the social media personality, known for confronting celebrities and public figures as well as disrupting local government hearings, declared his support for having transgender people in the US military. Before arguing his reasons, Stein started off saying that he disagrees with the Conservative stance of wanting to outlaw transgender people in women's sports, but only because he can 'gamble on them and win money'.

'You know, I actually like transgenders in the military, first of all, transgenders are some of the meanest people on planet Earth, they make a good soldier, don't you think?' said Stein. 'And second of all, transgenders love to do mass shootings, so that's perfect for a military veteran, and on top of that, the suicide rate is incredibly high among transgender people, so we could just use them like the Taliban has suicide bombers.'

The social media commentator then touched on the topic oftransgender people and gendered bathrooms. Stein described it as an 'asymmetrical problem.'

'First of all, no dude cares if a bisexual woman comes in there and tries to use like a, pee funnel, or some lady boy comes in there or, you know, some stud comes in there, no guy's gonna be threatened by a trans woman, but we don't want these gargoyles in a dress, some chick with a d-k, come in there and try to pee or poop next to my girlfriend because that's disgusting,' said Stein, whose comments were briefly heckled by people in the background.

Stein continued his remarks against trans people in women's bathrooms. 'They have autogynephilia, they're sexual perverts, and they actually get satisfaction from going there and looking under a stall, so these are mentally ill people that are on hormones, that are on all kinds of pills, they're impulsive, and they do not belong in women's restrooms, so if some of you lesbians want to come in and pee next to me, you're more than welcome,' Stein added. 'So we just don't let the chicks with dicks come in the women's restroom, but they are more than welcome in the men's restroom.'

In comments under the post that shared the clip, netizens were divided with some finding it funny, while others questioned whether this actually happened. Some appeared to agree with Stein's comments.

'Did Alex Stein really do this? Or did he insert himself into a Senate committee video?' said one commenter under the original poster.

'Trans people in the military is a disaster waiting to happen,' said another commenter.
