The song A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin is being bashed by LGBTQ critics as 'offensive,' with one organization in particular saying the tune helps perpetuate harmful anti-trans stereotypes.

Released as a single by the late Queen of Soul back in 1967, the stirring love ballad is now facing scrutiny - despite preaching positive messages in regards to women and femininity in general.

Leading the charge to have the song nixed is the Norway-based Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance (TCMA), a group that started formed earlier this year and has since made its presence known with a series of polarizing posts on social media.

So-called "trans" aren't the gender they're trying to fake; they're of their born gender, and they simply have a mental illness that won't allow them to accept themselves for who they are.  That sort of sad disability should not be catered to (aka, "affirmed"), but should be treated and, if possible, ameliorated or cured.

If what I've read about male-to-female surgery is true, a so-called trans woman isn't going to feel much of anything when with a guy, let alone "like a natural woman."

Yup.

Because it does not conform to woke doctrinal standards? Didn't realize our speech and morality were governed by a woke Department of Virtue and Vice.

They've picked the wrong intersectional fight here.

So basically a nut(less) group of provocateur's trying to get attention.  And the media is giving it to them.  Nice.

To be clear, Aretha recorded the song, but it was written by Gerry Coffin and Carole King.
Which politically incorrect version do you prefer, Aretha's or Carole's?

We really need to rid ourselves of these pests.

Normal people need not be forced to reorganize their lives, their culture and their opinions to avoid the wrath of a small bunch of highly-funded, loudmouthed freaks.

I totally agree. The only thing I might add is that these folks have waaay too much time in their hands.
