Ok @En_Sabah_Nur I stan you and I love that you like to bring interesting and complex discussions here, but please can we (including other people who do this) be more picky about what we post and where those posts are from? :bear:

There's three news sources in the OP. Two of which are NewsBreak and DailyMail which are notorious for publishing inflammatory and anti-left, anti-LGBT, and anti-POC propaganda pieces :bear:

No trans person or trans ally in their right mind is aggro'd even a little by this song. MAYBE a VERY SMALL handful of people said something and now right wing media sources are blowing it entirely out of proportion to cast a delegitimizing and harmful light on the entire community.

We just don't need that energy here tbh. It's not even worth discussing because it is entirely a made up issue, especially when it will spawn posts here that could hurt our gender queer friends.

Thank you :kara:

Besides all that...

https://www.iheartradio.ca/news/no-a-trans-organization-does-not-think-aretha-franklin-s-classic-is-harmful-1.19135977

The person behind a Twitter account that claimed a classic Aretha Frankln song is offensive to trans people confirmed Monday it was a joke.

"This is a parody account," the user, who did not provide his or her real name, told iHeartRadio.ca via direct message. "Never imagined anyone would take it seriously lol."

The individual said it was intended as a commentary on "woke" culture and "media stupidity." They added: "Not ONE media outlet contacted me prior to reporting this s**t lol."

The word "PARODY" was subsequently added to the account bio.

The Twitter account @TransMindful made headlines for suggesting last week that Aretha Franklin’s 1967 song “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” is offensive to trans people.

So not only is this not a worthy discussion, it's not even real :rip:
