JK Rowling buys Macy Gray's music catalogue after transphobic comments: "Just because you go change your parts, doesn't make you a woman"

[Jordan Miller]

Macy Gray spoke some nonsense and now JK Rowling is literally buying in. I can't

Why are gay men so obsessed with lecturing cis women on what a woman is? It's the MISOGANY for me. 

[LeavinExhaleByYearEnd]

She didn't speak nonsense.  What she said is literally coming from a woman that has been her whole life. I get it. Transgender people wants to be considered either man or woman if they change their parts. But they weren't naturally born with the s** they recognize now. In the end, it's a tricky situation to talk about it. Like Macy said, "doesn't think you should be labeled transphobic just because you don't agree.".

Macy is a one hit wonder, had to bring herself back to relevance. 

 

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

Is JK trying to protect her or something?? Like, how is Macy at all connected to JK?  

[britney_rocks]

She isn’t wrong though.

I mean....??? Are people really coming for this? A transgender woman isnt a woman... just as a biological woman isnt a transgender woman!! Do we really think these two are the same? These are VERY VERY VERY VERY different lives and with different experiences from the world. Yes they turn into a woman and finally feel as one physically and emotionally, but its differnet than being born a woman . Its not like she is saying they are less or more. Just not the same.  Lets not push canceling people too hard and not enter delusion phase just to be politically correct for acceptence.

Am I supposed to drag Macy for this? What she said is technically true and some people just don't want to hear it; calling it "transphobia" to speak scientific facts is so tired tbh. 

That being said I still dislike Macy for other reasons, mainly because I can't stand her voice.  And why's JK getting involved in this?  Go write another Harry Potter book.

It’s the way she says “everyone’s gonna hate me” that tells you a lot, first of all that her feelings of being suppressed for her transphobic beliefs are misplaced, a lot of people agree with her, especially people in power, and second that she knows what she’s about to say is hateful and better left unsaid.

The responses in this thread ain’t it and of course it’s always the same Exhalers saying the same **** in every thread like this. 

Yes, obviously, a transgender woman and a biological woman are not the same thing scientifically and in life experience. However, trans people are born feeling like their body doesn’t match their gender - meaning a woman always feeling trapped in a man’s body. Just because she was born in the wrong body does not mean she is not psychologically a woman.

She is already aware she is in the wrong body. She is already aware she is not biologically the gender she feels she is. So what’s the point in being yet another person telling her she’s not who she is?

Out of all the problems in the world, JK Rowling and apparently now Macy Gray are more concerned about identities of other people than doing anything better with their time. To me, this is the same issue as being gay. Why do you care who other people love or what gender they are? You should treat all other people as you want to be treated: with respect and kindness. To be using your platform to tell someone else they aren’t who they feel they are is just disrespectful, shameful, and a waste.  There’s no point in doing it except to express your prejudice against someone else.

she is correct, deal with it. stop trying to downplay what biological women experience throughout their lives. transgender women will never know what it’s like to be a biological woman. just as transgender women say biological men will never know what it’s like to be a transgender woman.

I mean I think theres some truth to this. Being a trans woman isnt necessarily about the genitals, its about your brains. And yes trans women arent the same as cis women, theyre 2 completely different experiences. Transwomen should be called women and granted the identity they need in order to live and help their dysphoria. But there still is a difference and for example this abortion mess is something that trans women dont have to through while most cis women have to. 

All trans women dont get bottom surgery anyways. The risks arent discussed enough but you risk losing all "feel" down there and ur body tries to get rid of the new hole in you. It's not as simple as just getting surgery, as of today there is no surgery to make you a cis woman or have a genitalia that works exactly like theirs. The trans issue is so much more complicated than people understand and the bottom line is, surgeries dont always just magically "fix" you.

How does a transgender person being able to be the gender they feel like downplay what a biological woman has to go through? This sounds a whole lot like the equivalent of when white people feel threatened when black people finally get the same rights they’ve already had.
