One of the greatest female singers of all-time, and they’re going to trash her. Good luck with that.

Kate Smith was another great female singer, and they successfully "cancelled" her for singing some "racist" lyrics.

Mentally ill people with severe narcissism who are arrogant enough to believe they can reconstruct reality.

I don’t see what their problem is. Don’t “transwomen” claim that by their nature, they are women, even though their original equipment doesn’t support that? They are just as much women as those who were born with female genitalia and “identify “ as women, right?

I always thought the lyrics were about a woman who enjoyed the activity of sexual intercourse with a man. Does not ah La natural mean naked? And that a woman might actually enjoy having heterosexual sex?!

So they are admitting they are not natural women.

End of argument.

*** So, how should the lyrics be changed to satisfy the trannies?***

You make me identify as a natural woman.

“Natural Woman”

One of Aretha’s best and the queers are upset.

I went looking for her discography and found “Chain of Fools” on the list. I figured I’d better search for it here before posting it. Glad I did as you beat me to it. Two things I also realized while scrolling thru her list - the lady was prolific plus I recognized a lot of her songs. I’d forgotten how many I used to sing along with

"Can You Guess Which Aretha Franklin Hit Is Triggering Transgnder Activists?"

Oh, I don't know, ... maybe ... Natural Woman?


Now Aretha Franklin's song Natural Woman is deemed OFFENSIVE to trans women: Outrage as 'activists' demand song is removed from Spotify and Apple Music

The words were written by Gerry Goffin from an idea by Atlantic producer Jerry Wexler, and the music was composed by Carole King. Written for Franklin, the record was a big hit reaching number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became one of her signature songs. It made history in the UK singles chart a week after her death, finally becoming a hit almost 51 years after it was first released entering at #79. Franklin also included a live recording on the album Aretha in Paris in 1968.

Carole King herself recorded the song for her 1971 album Tapestry. Among the numerous cover versions of the song include versions by Mary J. Blige and Celine Dion, both of which charted in the same year (1995). At the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, Aretha Franklin performed the song to honor award-recipient Carole King.

Aretha Franklin's 1968 song "Natural Woman" perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes.

When I first saw this thread, I thought “Chain of Fools” was the song in question.
