The woke snowflakes have beclowned themselves again.
A Norwegian transgender activist group is demanding that Apple Music and Spotify remove one of Aretha Franklin’s hit songs because of its allegedly offensive lyrics.
The Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance (TCMA) is targeting Franklin’s 1968 hit “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” which they say “perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes.”
The group claims, “There is no such thing as a ‘natural’ woman” and is calling on the streaming platforms to cancel the song.
Aretha Franklin's 1968 song "Natural Woman" perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes.
There is no such thing as a "natural" woman.
This song has helped inspire acts of harm against transgender women.
TCMA is requesting it is removed from Spotify & Apple Music.

Many reacted to the tweet by questioning whether the Twitter account is actually a parody account. The group claims to have been founded in January 2023 and only has just over a thousand followers. However, the group insists they are not a parody account.
“For clarification, the TCMA is not a parody organization,” they tweeted. “We are a group of trans individuals seeking to make culture more fair for transgender individuals. We are based in Norway but are seeking to open a chapter in each European country and also North America.”

Well, alrighty then.
One of the greatest female singers of all-time, and they’re going to trash her. Good luck with that.
Natural Woman.
Written by Carol King’s husband...interesting.
This is so fantastic. Hate the song but I love the song.
“Freeway”?
I checked to make sure this wasn’t the Bee, but I should have already known that anyway. Nothing the Bee comes out with is this absurd.
I’ve been expecting this ‘issue’ to come up eventually.
I thought it might have been due to the
Dusty Springfield version of the same song.
Rare, is the corporation that refuses to immediately fold.
Hopefully, this will change.
The more Trans people are catered to from their
Fantasy World perspective, the worse it will be for everyone.
RE: Natural Woman.
So, how should the lyrics be changed to satisfy the trannies?
This as an admission that they know they are men playing dress up and pretending to be women.
What about ABBA’s hit, “One Man, One Woman?”
Reality says there is no such thing as a “transgender”. There are only neuters made from removing the masculinity from a person with XY chromosome count, or by removing the femininity from a person with XX chromosome count.
Those with XY chromosomes can NEVER ovulate or have menstrual periods. Those with XX chromosomes can NEVER produce sperm or develop upper body strength, no matter HOW many hormones and surgical procedures are employed.
A “Natural Woman” is just that, a natural woman.
All the magical thinking in the world will not move the needle one bit.
It just gets crazier and crazier...
A-19
These folks are not bordering on the insane; THEY ARE INSANE!
A famous black woman vs. an angry tranny. In the old days I would have bet the house on the famous black woman.
But now I’m not so sure. Maybe Apple Music and Spotify will play it safe and put some kind of warning on Franklin’s song.
And don’t be too quick to dismiss that. Some cable channels already put woke-related warnings on their old movies.
The mentally ill who chop off body parts need to shut it.
I hope they never hear about Helen Reddy and “I am woman!”
They won’t be calling it a boycott.
