However, at the time, Steve-O was still determined to see through the ambitious and controversial stunt. It was a conversation he had with a transgender grocery worker that caused him to rethink it.

“On the day that the scheduled surgery was supposed to happen, I was checking out at the supermarket,” he tells Consequence. “And the person ringing up my groceries was evidently transgender, and it struck me as a sign from the universe. So I asked the transgender person if I could run something by them, and I had a conversation with this person that had a profound impact on me.”

sis like, this trans grocery store worker was not expecting to be fucking steve-o's therapist that day what the hell

You can still get beat up at a motorcycle rally, Steve. Just wear some Clinton 2016 merch and drape yourself in a soviet flag.

Never ceases to amaze me though that Steve-O, of all people in that group, turned out to be the most grounded.

I don't know if any of the others would even care to ask or listen to the trans worker at a grocery store.

He isn’t a bad person, he’s just a massive idiot. Many such cases.

The stunt would have involved Steve-O getting his "whole body waxed", with all his tattoos removed via airbrush, and losing weight to "get really slender and petite". Steve-O would then attend a motorcycle rally attempting to capture "big gangs of motorcycle riders" checking him out before he reveals his real identity. "I would walk up to pull off my helmet and say, 'Yeah, dude,' and get this crazy reaction, which, predictably, would be contentious," he shares.

what the fuck

I thought he was going to do something like, skateboard tricks, and then say to the camera "woah dude look at the booba jiggle!"

He came off as an alright guy, just a bit of a meat head.

A jackass if you will.

is this ?

I kinda thought steeve-o was questioning his gender identity as framing it as a prank as an excuse to do it.

He strikes me as a person that always hated society, their body, and rules. This seems like a reasonably GenX way to be an egg.

Having cocaine balloons explode in your ass can do a lot to change a man.

So he understands the violence that trans people face, but wanted to provoke it intentionally as a joke? Please don’t let the TERFs see this they’re gonna have a field day about a cis man literally planning to pretend to be a woman to the point where he was getting breast implants.

“I’m gonna get breast implants to epically own my friends”

the number of libs that will read the full story and still excuse him step by step because he was a funny clown in their treats is pretty fucked tbh like great job falling back asswards into not inciting trans panic after two doctors backed out and you clocked someone who was at work to pose an inscrutable riddle

I'm surprised Steve-O didn't die years ago due to some horrific yet hilarious stunt.

To be honest, this is more than I expected from someone who was part of Jackass. Didn't one of them give themselves brain damage from one of their stunts?
