'I don't think you should be called transphobic just because you don't agree,' Gray says in the episode streaming now on Fox Nation
Grammy award-winning singer Macy Gray described her definition of a woman during an appearance on Piers Morgan's show "Piers Morgan Uncensored," igniting fierce backlash after she offered her controversial perspective on gender-affirming surgery in the episode streaming now on Fox Nation.
In the episode that aired Monday, Gray said that she does not consider transgender women who have undergone sex reassignment surgery to be women.

"You feel that?" Morgan asked.
"I know that for a fact," Gray responded. "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 because I call you a ‘her’ and just because you got a surgery."
The conversation focused on the national debate surrounding the participation of transgender athletes in female sports.
Gray maintained that "women go through a completely unique experience and surgery, finding yourself doesn't change that."
"Being a little girl is a whole epic book and you can't have that just because you want to be a woman," she said. "It's the truth and I don't think you should be called transphobic just because you don't agree. There's a lot of judgment and throwing stones at people for just saying what it is."
Gray later clarified her comments on Twitter and expressed her support for the LGBTQ community.
"There is no bigger admirer of LGBT community than [yours] truly. it takes real balls to be honest about who you are. 'woman' is a title that you earn and become," she wrote. "just like 'man,' there are plenty of females who aren't women yet and every girl gets that."
Yes, nice to seem more common sense and willingness to buck the woke mafia.
I noticed that black people can get away with saying stuff that white people can’t.
Countdown to her groveling apology 3…2…1
She’s 100% right. We need to start having some Hetero “pride” parades.
Yes, she did a bit of groveling on Twitter afterword, writing, “There is no bigger admirer of LGBT community than [yours] truly. it takes real balls to be honest about who you are. ‘woman’ is a title that you earn and become,” she wrote. “just like ‘man,’ there are plenty of females who aren’t women yet and every girl gets that.”
"You feel that?" Morgan asked."I know that for a fact," Gray responded. "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 because I call you a ‘her’ and just because you got a surgery."
But feelings are real!
Facts are not.
“Even the stopped clock is right twice a day.”
I was going to post about this an hour ago, but I had trouble connecting: https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2022/07/05/singer-macy-gray-catches-hate-for-stating-that-just-because-you-go-change-your-parts-doesnt-make-you-a-woman-but-shes-not-backing-down-video/
Twitchy has videos from Piers Morgan.
I think people do this to themselves. As she wrote, "I don't think you should be called transphobic just because you don't agree." More importantly, just ignore it! We're not going to be friends with everyone, we're not going to wear straightjackets. It is okay to differ. We just need to fight intolerance by in part calling it out and at the same time also simply ignoring it.
What’s with this terminology, “gender affirming” surgery?
Wouldn’t “gender affirming” treatments, be giving counseling to people with gender dysphoria, so that it would affirm their identity as male or female, as the case may be? Wouldn’t that be affirming one’s actual gender?
Instead, they twist this language to make it sound normal to do surgery on bodily parts to “affirm” the sex of someone.
I recall once Jen Psaki holding court on that subject, threatening states which would have the audacity to ban surgeries on minors for purposes of “gender affirmation”.
The truth hurts. And as per their script, the usual suspects are butt hurt.
Too bad investigative journalism is dead. Would love to see complete profiles of the surgeons and psychiatrists who do these gender mutilating procedures.
What was controversial about it?
Anything Big Brother doesn’t want said is “controversial.”
Never realized that checking in someone’s underwear was a surgery.
More of us need to speak up and we need to stop being intimidated by a tiny minority.
I enjoy some of her work, but Macy is admittedly “an acquired taste”
