The song A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin is being bashed by LGBTQ critics as 'offensive,' with one organization in particular saying the tune helps perpetuate harmful anti-trans stereotypes.

Released as a single by the late Queen of Soul back in 1967, the stirring love ballad is now facing scrutiny - despite preaching positive messages in regards to women and femininity in general.

Leading the charge to have the song nixed is the Norway-based Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance (TCMA), a group started this year and has since made its presence known with a series of polarizing posts on social media.

'Aretha Franklin's 1968 song "Natural Woman" perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes,' the post reads, erroneously listing the song's September 1967 release as coming in 1968.

'There is no such thing as a "natural" woman,' the organization went on to declare, before claiming the song has already 'helped inspire acts of harm against transgender women.' 

TCMA said it is requesting the song be 'removed from Spotify & Apple Music.'

Me,too. I saw one in Walmart...I said to myself...What the hell is that...it was a guy in a skirt and blouse.

What was interesting was that he/she/it was the ONLY person in the whole store wearing a skirt. Everyone, men and women alike, had jeans or slacks on.

Saying Aretha’s dead is:

...wait for it...

...RAY——CIISSSS!!!!

Doesn’t stop lefties from voting; can’t stop Aretha from singin’.

Why stop with Natural Woman? There's tons of golden oldies that perpetuate "anti trans gender stereotypes". SHE Loves You, Big GIRLS Don't Cry, HE'S So Fine, My GIRL, Walk like a MAN, SHE'S a WOMAN etc. Even with the weapons grade wokeness infecting the entertainment industrial complex as a whole, does anyone really think that Neil Diamond, Paul McCartney Smokey Robinson, Billy Joel and other great songwriters would stand for their great music to be messed with? Or whoever owns the rights to the the songs written by Buddy Holly, Ben E King, Lee Dorsey, Micheal Jackson etc?
The ONLY people who would benefit from such a fiasco are attorneys who specialize in copywrite law and intelectual property.
