and it is not only that word anyway 

also: please note that I said "possibly" offensive, as it may not be offensive to every single person ever

YOUR GOD IS NOT HERE MICHAEL NOR WILL HE EVER BE

I didn't read the whole thing since I am at work but...what, we should avoid saying gay, lesbian and bi too? This is getting even more out of hand if the word transgendered starts becoming offensive to some people. They transitioned into a different gender/sex so obviously they are transgendered. People getting offended over that needs to reevaluate their thinking. 

I can see how calling somebody transgendered alone and not transgendered male/female might get on your nerves but even then, people need to chilé:saladga:

so here I solved the problem

the "transgendered life" is a mistake in the booklet

it's actually "transgender life".

Genius confirmed it and corrected it.

This is why I said it was an outdated term, there are better words to use on this link, and the original purpose of this wasn't because of it being outdated, but that if you took transgendered life out and replaced it with transgender, ace it would still fit and include more people into the song.

I would just keep the lyrics as is. This is so unnecessary.

Ok well that is cool however I still make transgender, ace has more people are included and the original purpose of having that be sung live instead of transgender life was just to include more people. It wasn't because of transgendered life (however that did add to it though)

Thank you cause I didn't know this!

I wouldn't say it is unnecessary because it would just be a change when sung live and BTW wouldn't be re-recorded or taken down like how DWUW was (obviously to very different problems and DWUW is a 10/10 while the mistaken lyric as a 1/10). Also the lyrics is just transgender as River said so I am fine with transgender life.

There's nothing to change now, because it was done years ago

I didn't hear her sing that live at all

Even in 2011

Really? When did they say that?

Booklet was not the only place with transgendered

Her official website had it too

Came here to say this. Not sure if that's what she says in the song, but pretty sure she sings it as "Transgender" in live performances for a while now. Easy fix.

She also stopped saying "Behind the Aura / behind the Burqa" in Aura, changing it to "Behind the Aura / You little monster" :billie:

Phlop

If you don’t like the song don’t listen to it, it’s clearly phobic to you :ohwell:

And ace sounds stupid, it’s not asexual. This song is over 10 years old so yes, it’s not going to have the QIA acronyms included.

Gaga wrote this out of love and support idk why y’all making it problematic. If anything is problematic is her Chromatica promo.

BYE
