Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin deemed offensive by TRAS. Call to action.

[Cellotapedispenser]

Just seen that TRAs want this song banned from Spotify for being exclusionary and harmful. Please may I ask that people start streaming this as much as possible? Might not be everyone's taste (I love it) but it's a wonderful song, shame to have it cancelled.

Why not? I’ve just set it playing on repeat 😆

Where did you see this?

What a lot of entitled bastards TRAs are. Time they were disabused and tumbled from their nasty eyrie. I don't do Spotify but I will look out for the song.

Ditto! 💪

Where did you see this, OP?

I've not seen this.

Are you sure this is real?

I realise it is often difficult to tell the difference between genuine TRAs and parody accounts.

Arguably, it should be an anthem for tw. Natural women don't have to feel, they are. Mind I haven't checked all the lyrics, there might be a line about 'not having a cock'.

Just shows tras aren't always trans.

And it was written by a natural woman, Carol King.

Interesting that it's a piece of work written by a woman and sung by a woman.

Why don't they come after Dude Looks Like A Lady or Lola?

😂😂😂

Playing now.

Might follow it with a bit of Shania Twain or Chaka Khan...

😂

Interesting thing to say and then not provide any proof of where you saw it

I saw it earlier. Not read it yet though

I think it was posted by a spoof account

Well I hope its a parody account!

Pfft, who cares if it’s made up?

It’s fun, costs me nothing extra to play it and at least it’s by someone who can actually sing and write their own material.

Makes a change from the likes of the nauseatingly whiny Sam Smith.

The original tweet is here:

The text is:

"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."

Kellie-Jay Keen was interviewed on Australian TV about it:

The Twitter account claims not to be a parody, but it sure looks like one.

I've just checked the lyrics, 'Good inside' , but no cocks.

I think the account that started all this has to be a parody. It's very new, but it's so deadpan. I've read some batshit stuff from genuine tras <waves to IW> and it's really hard to tell. I'm calling 'parody'.

Source? Sounds like something made up to get angry about. The only reference I can find is from a GC parody account. A GC person took it for real, and Sky News Australia reported it, avoiding giving an actual reference.

This is the account that is making the posts. Claims not to be a parody account

Nice to see the Most Oppressed and Marginalised dealing with the big issues like songs and trying to stop people from buying games. What huge problems they have 🥺

Just when you thought you'd heard it all.........😡

Why? They’re desperately trying to stop people from buying that new hogwarts game, how is this be any different?
