Singer Macy Gray stirred up controversy during an interview with Piers Morgan that aired on Monday when she said that just because a person has gender reassignment surgery, it doesn’t change their biological sex.
During her appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” the singer said she would probably face backlash for sharing her opinion. She was right! The woke mob quickly jumped on her for what she shared with Morgan.
Morgan jumped right into the conversation, asking, “If I asked you what a woman is, what would you say?”
“I would say, ah, a human being with boobs,” Gray said as she laughed. “Haha, you have to start there.”
“I mean, the dictionary’s quite straightforward, it just says a human, adult female,” said Morgan.
“You know a lot of people — see that — now that’s a little … getting confusing, the whole he, she, they …” Gray continued.
“And I’m not sure why, really,” said Morgan.
He then pointed to the recent controversy of trans-women that has impacted the sports world, saying, “I support all trans rights to fairness and equality, but not where you have people born to obvious physical superior bodies transitioning and then thrashing the women at their sport.”
“I totally agree,” Gray said. “And I will say this, and everybody’s going to hate me, but as a woman, just because you go change your parts doesn’t make you a woman. Sorry.”
“You feel that,” Morgan replied.
“I know that for a fact,” Gray continued. “Like if you want me to call you a her, I will, because that’s what you want. But that doesn’t make you a woman, just ’cause I call you a her and just ’cause you got a surgery.”
It didn’t take long for people to begin attacking Gray, calling her a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF).
“My bestie tweeted ‘damn we lost Macy Gray’ and I thought she had died but it’s bc she’s a TERF,” @yumcoconutmilk tweeted.
Mitchell Plitnick added, “Sad to see #BetteMidler and #macygray joining the JK Rowling #TERF brigade. The fight for rights, anyone’s rights, can’t be won if we choose to deny the rights of some to elevate or compensate for the denial of rights of others.”
Another user posted, “I believe Macy Gray deserves a congratulations for being the first non-white TERF woman. We all knew they’d find one eventually.”
The criticism of Gray followed an outburst from the same crowd of extremists who were angered earlier in the day by a post from celebrity Bette Midler who also spoke out against the transgender movement to erase women.
Midler said, “WOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even of our name! They don’t call us “women” anymore; they call us “birthing people” or “menstruators”, and even “people with vaginas”! Don’t let them erase you! Every human on earth owes you!”
Both women have now sparked the outrage of the transgender activist crowd.
