Because it was written by a successful strong and empowered trans woman

Correct.

Steve Tyler took so many drugs, she can't even remember most of her own songs.

But she fucked some beautiful models.

Quite an achievement for a gal at these times, if you ask me.

Because now that he's older steven tyler looks like a lady, so he can say its about him

Probably because Aerosmith is no longer relevant. It's like asking why Roy Orbison is still beloved by all even though he's most famous for Pretty Women which clearly assumes gender.

Now if Steven Tyler started stumping for Trump I bet the liberal nutjobs and other Cultural Marxists would be all over every little thing he's done or said since he was 2.

Why? Because that's their singular focus.

They dream of being a dude, who actually looks like a lady.
They genuinely want that song to be about them.

Because "it's not offending when I don't want to be offended. Same with "rape", "misogyny ", "homophobia " and "racism ". When it's convenient for women, those buzzwords no longer matter.

    I am not knowing but it sounds reasonable.

    They bleep out any modern drug references on the radio, but will never bleep out one of the classic rock songs about cocaine (she's alright, cocaine...driving my train, high on cocaine). It's just hypocritical boomer-isms. Projecting restrictions on things for political looks, without personal or moral convictions about it.
