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

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.

It's sad state of affairs when a parody account is indistinguishable from a real one!

WeepingSomnambulist · 23/01/2023 14:58

It has to be a parody account. TRAs think that trans women are women, natural women born as women in the wrong body. They wouldnt say there is no such thing as a natural women. They would say that trans women are natural women as much as any XX person.

It’s a parody account. It has just lauded Lionel Richie for “Three Times a Lady”!

Another of their posts
Must be satire Grin

Did they mishear it as Three Types O'Lady?

Apollo441 · 23/01/2023 15:10

A parody account. I know, it's hard to tell them apart.

JustFrustrated · 23/01/2023 15:18

Definitely a parody account.

This is a funny parody account too

Cellotapedispenser · 23/01/2023 15:26

I saw it on tiktok. Might be parody to be fair but who knows with the crazies. I'm currently belting out 'You make meee feeeeeeeeel...' very loudly. Neighbours must think I've lost it...again Grin

@dementedpixie Grin it's got a really old picture of IW.

WallaceinAnderland · 23/01/2023 15:36

It's a parody. See also this tweet on the same account:

My eight-year old son, Jonah, came up to me this afternoon and asked me what a "shemale" was.I immediately asked him where he heard that term and he told me it was on YouPorn. TCMA is immediately calling on YouPorn to ban the use of this harmful and outdated term.

There's a serious response to it too!

DialSquare · 23/01/2023 15:52

Actually it was a quote tweet not a response. Dame Katy asks the quoter "Do you want to try to be be kind"!

IcakedefargeIam · 23/01/2023 15:59

Those twitter rabbit holes, I'm supposed to be baking muffins!

PoliticalFootball · 23/01/2023 16:26

"HaHaHa look at Mumsnetters losing their shit over a parody account" - was that what they were hoping for?

I know it's hard these days but please let's all fine-tune our parody detectors 😊

I've never liked the song Natural woman. I'm more of an 'I'm Every Woman' woman. And as for Shania Twain's 'Man, I feel like a woman' it just reminds me of a particularly depressing hen party I attended.

Oh and I just watched that Mr Menno video on India Willoughby 😶

Tallisker · 23/01/2023 16:51

That clip from Big Brother! Apart from anything else, how rude is it to wear mirror sunglasses indoors when you're haranguing someone. No manners.

But you put the post up as if it was fact.
That's why, on the second post of this thread,, I asked you were you saw it.

I feel guilty for laughing so hard at this.

I find this account hilarious, tbh. I also cracked up at this, especially the response about "a reminder to observe our periods."

Has there been a link to this marvellous song? Here's Aretha singing at a ceremony to honour Carole King with the Obamas present - a magnificent performance:

OMG that's made me cry.

Love both those women so much (well three of them - not leaving out Michelle);

MrsOvertonsWindow · 23/01/2023 18:00

It's very emotional. So good to see a proud and talented woman - and what a magnificent voice. And singing for such a wonderful songwriter as well. Really inspiring.

As much? Surely you mean more?

Soubriquet · 23/01/2023 18:46

I love it when they come out with stuff like this. Cos it’s makes the general public think twice

Ooh I'd missed this one.

Are the muffins cool enough to eat yet?
