And keep in mind, Adele was accused for being transphobic for her acceptance speech for an awards show for similar reasons.

So please dont act like this kinda reaction is unheard of.

One activist group based in Norway is calling for Aretha Franklins hit 1968 song (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman to be removed from both Apple Music and Spotify after they deemed its lyrics offensive. The Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance (TCMA) took to Twitter last week to condemn the ballad, citing that it has ignited harm against transgender women. Aretha Franklins 1968 song Natural Woman perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes, the organization tweeted. There is no such thing as a natural woman. The message continued, The song has helped inspire acts of harm against transgender women. TCMA is requesting it is removed from Spotify & Apple Music. According to the organizations bio on the social media platform, they aim to promote cultural changes to ensure the inclusivity of trans individuals.


Wow. Remember when these guys used to be vikings? And not little bitches? Trans women need to feel safe, obviously. But this is some bullshit.

Perception is different for everyone. Reality is not

Reality - the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.

Intent is ever the only thing that matters. If there was no ill- intent, then move along. This song from decades ago was not commenting on the modern LGBT movement.

This is why I don't take keyboard "activists" seriously. They whine more about petty bullshit then actual issues, and make up things to be offended about. They're also too stuck-up to see that they're just as bad as conservative political morons who do the exact same thing.

I don't feel outrage at the LGBT community. They're just people, and like all groups of people they have the Good, the Bad, and Everything In-between when it comes to personalities.

I'm talking about the morons who did dumb shit, like hold mass pokemon merch burning because it would lead children into "Satanic cults" and on the flipside, those who decided that they were the official spokespeople for Mexican and Hispanic outrage by canceling Speedy Gonzales. This smacks of the exact kind of bs over an old love song.

Or do you not understand what petty manufacturered moral outrage is?

It's the New York Post, huh? Wonder just how blasted transwomen are about the song.

NoxObscuras posted...
I'm skeptical about the intentions of that Twitter account. It's only been actively posting since January 20th and the bio says the organization was founded in January 2023. If this was CE people would be saying "whose alt?"

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/7/5/AAQgjdAAEHeH.jpg

I can believe this. Let's drum up some fake outrage to vilify trans people by attacking Arethra Franklin. God, I wish everything wasn't a culture war.

eh, im all for trans rights and i get where they are coming from.

I havent seen this song used to attack trans people and Aretha Franklin is one of the most beloved singers of all time. This is like a battle they shouldnt pick.
This.

I haven't heard the full song in a while but I can't recall any lyrics or anything that is being used to attack or denigrate anyone. IIRC, it's just a song about a woman who is happy about her lover.

I just went to their account looks like after the backlash they added the Parody/Satire to their bio. Im guessing if they had said that from the start they probably wouldnt have gotten as much attention. They deleted their tweet history but I saw it and they denied they were a parody a couple hours ago.

The account has just over 1,000 followers (not a lot) and the post is unanimously being derided from everyone.

It's just another example of the news capitalizing on a dumb take that initially wasn't getting attention, and is inherently making it worse by doing so.
