Pink has responded to an internet troll who compared her to Suzy Eddie Izzard, using the moment to teach a ā€œgood lesson in ignoranceā€ to her 12-year-old daughter.

Pink hit back at the Twitter (now known as X) user yesterday (September 12), resharing a post wishing her happy birthday alongside an image of Izzard, a transgender comedian. ā€œThank you so much,ā€ Pink wrote in the accompanying caption. ā€œI just showed my 12 year old daughter your post.ā€

The singer went on to explain that while she has ā€œnever metā€ the anonymous user and has ā€œno idea why [they] would go out of your way to be hatefulā€, their post taught a ā€œgood lesson in ignoranceā€ for her 12-year-old child, Willow Sage Hart. ā€œCongratsā€, Pink added. ā€œYouā€™re no one.ā€

Pink doubled down on her response in a follow-up post, calling the user a ā€œnameless fuckoā€ and saying there are legitimate images of her that are ā€œworse than [the] pictureā€ of Izzard. The singer told the troll to ā€œbe creative next timeā€, before elaborating on the reason behind her response in another tweet.

ā€œI post these things to show the kids I know- my own kids as well, that we are all occasionally treated badly,ā€ Pink wrote. ā€œI show them because they know me, and they know that my self-esteem does not rely on the opinions of others.ā€

Pink has been open in the past about raising her children gender neutral. In her 2017 VMAs speech, the pop star cited famous androgynous musicians like David Bowie, Prince, Annie Lennox and Janis Joplin as inspirations for her daughter, who had expressed concern over looking like “a boy with long hair”.

Alongside Willow ā€“ whom Pink collaborated with for the 2021 single ā€˜Cover Me In Sunshineā€™ ā€“ the singer shares a six-year-old son, Jameson, with motocross racer Cary Hart. Izzard, meanwhile, has been openly transgender since 1985, but adopted she/her pronouns in 2020.

Earlier this year, the comedian revealed that sheā€™d prefer to go by Suzy ā€“ a name she had wanted since the age of 10 ā€“ but clarified that she still ā€œdoesnā€™t mind ā€˜Eddieā€™ā€. Izzard also recently campaigned to become the next Labour MP for Sheffield Central.

Pink, meanwhile, teamed up with Brandi Carlile for a tribute cover of ā€˜Nothing Compares 2 Uā€™, following SinĆ©ad Oā€™Connorā€™s death last month.
