First Joe Rogan is cancelled, now Adele???

https://pagesix.com/2022/02/09/adele-says-i-love-being-a-woman-at-gender-neutral-event/

Adele is being accused of transphobia for declaring at a woke gender-neutral awards show that she loves being a woman.

The Rolling in the Deep singer made the remark at Tuesdays Brit Awards as she collected the prize for Artist of the Year, a newly created category merging the old Best Male and Best Female Artist awards.

I understand why the name of this award has changed but I really love being a woman and being a female artist. I do! she said to huge cheers.

Im really proud of us, I really, really am, she said.

Despite support from the audience in Londons huge O2 Arena, her comments quickly sparked outrage online making her the latest high-profile figure accused of being a TERF, or trans-exclusionary radical feminist.

Please, no, ADELE cant be a TERF, a staunch feminist performer named Jacob told his thousands of Twitter followers.

Whod have thought Adele was a transphobe and would use her platform to call for the destruction of the trans community. Especially the confused teenagers, another long-time Twitter user posted.

Others complained that they had lost a lot of respect for Adele and would no longer spend a cent on her music, the Times of London noted.

The attacks led many to spring to the 33-year-old stars defense.

Thank you @Adele. Just, thank you. For speaking the 2 words being vilified. Woman. Female, tweeted author and refugee campaigner Onjali Rauf.

I don't see how that makes her a TERF? Female empowerment is not in any way incompatible with transgender people?

Then again, pagesix sounds like some weak yellow press I've never heard of

i'm not a woman or trans but, if you take "i love being a woman" as transexclusionary, would that mean you don't think trans woman are women?

The only way to let shitty sources and stories like this die is to stop engaging with them and the people who post them.

If you read this topic and see it's a big nothingburger, don't post. Just leave the topic at 1 post and the fake outrage will fade into CE purgatory.

Most of the people thought it was something real, but a couple people on Twitter. I think they need to be told that it's nothing but bull shit to get clicks. I don't want people to think that this is a popular opinion, it's not. It's hardly even an opinion because I bet most of the 27 people that complained were not even offended, and just wanted attention as well. I'm sure 12-15 people got actually offended by Adele's remark, and those people could have major depression or are treated horribly in real life.

At best what she said is maybe ever so slightly misguided because it could be parsed as bemoaning the merging as a result of nonbinary people. But it's not even close to being transphobic unless there's a lot more to what she said and a quick Google check says that's not the case.

Like. If she'd said "for the record I'm a woman and proud of that" and then said how she is happy that she beat out all the competition between all the genders, then nobody could possibly construe this as offensive.

Fwiw I wouldn't even bat an eyelid at her saying this. She's not got a history of saying anything else problematic so it was probably just a wording thing on her part.
