Aretha Franklin’s “Natural Woman” Deemed Offensive by Trans Community

[media=https://youtu.be/efIAM5dzuDs]

The radical trans community continued its assault on women this weekend.

Trans activists say Aretha Franklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman” is very offensive to trans women.

Natural Woman – The 1967 single was released by American soul singer Aretha Franklin on the Atlantic label. The words were written by Gerry Goffin from an idea by Atlantic producer Jerry Wexler, and the music was composed by Carole King.

Sky News Australia reported:

Standing for Women Founder Kellie-Jay Keen says it’s “really hard” to ignore the “misogyny” of the trans-rights movement as Aretha Franklin’s song ‘Natural Woman’ was recently slammed as offensive to trans-women.

“Being a mum, that is also being attacked, we’re now called birthing persons or pregnant persons,” Ms Keen told Sky News Australia.

“I don’t think many women really know how much we’re hated – I hate to say it … I don’t have a victim mentality, but it’s really hard to ignore the misogyny of this particular movement.

“It means a man who says he’s frightened to go in a man’s toilet – his words are more credible than a woman who says she doesn’t want that man in her space.”

@Budwick basically the title of this song has been blown out of context as a prextext to say people are being gender unfriendly

@smiler2012 Of course! It's their whole agenda! "Open your mouth, and I will be offended and call you a homophobe, racist, SOMETHING!! My feelings count more than ANYTHING else! "
