Piers Morgan slams 'trans activist mob' as Macy Gray says 'surgery doesn't
make a woman'
Macy Gray has been dubbed "transphobic" after she told Piers Morgan on his

a woman, sorry." [B]6.50 in vid below

Whatever your individual opinions on this subject (and everyone is entitled to one), I think it's important to understand that Piers' ratings are really struggling, so if you have genuine fears or questions around trans people, just know that your fears are being monetised to save a struggling career.
I understand the free speech angle, but this is the guy who walked off his own show to deny someone their free speech.
I do find the new career path of constantly minimising a severely at risk minority, extremely ghoulish. It has caused deaths, and will cause many more before you all eventually pretend you always accepted trans people in about 20-30 years time.

Why doesn't Ernest Owens do what they want to do, and let the other Twitter users decide for themselves if they want to not follow Macy Gray anymore.
One thing I can't stand about Twitter is when people try to form a mob trying to dictate to people how they should feel.
But with Macy Gray's initial comment, it just feels unnecessary tbh.
I don't get why people can't just try to be civil with each other.

Do you not see the difference in power between the 2 sides? One side is just asking for acceptance they exist, the other is a majority who refuse to accept it and use their platforms almost exclusively these days, to deny their existence and minimise them. Being civil towards your oppressors wouldn't ever be suggested in any other context.

You talk about oppressors etc but you haven't acknowledged at all that women have always been oppressed because of our sex not our gender identity, just look at what's happening in the states right now fgs, that's 100% discriminating, controlling and oppressing women because of our Biology. Self ID is threatening to eradicate that right for women and girls to name themselves as such based on our biology, in fact you talk about people's "right to exist" what about our right to exist as a biological class?

Surgery and synthetic hormones don't change reality. Actively declining to play along with someone's delusions isn't denying their existence, especially when they literally aren't what they think they are.

With all due respect Thomas you are neither a woman or a transwoman (as far as I'm aware?) so that's a lot of guess work you have going on there.

They literally hold a delusion, or at least a strong form of body dysmorphia. Either way they have a mental disorder. I know I said this before but indulging them is akin to provide emetics to someone with an eating disorder, or amputating legs from someone with dissociated limb syndrome.

Tbf I haven't seen a lot of these Shows that you're talking about because they are too agenda driven for my liking, and for me I always like to make my own mind up on things.
Piers Morgan is clever with how he presents things though from when I have caught the odd segments of his Shows, he just basically takes controversial elements about a community and then generalises the entire group.

How are they more oppressed? Women are literally being asked to stand aside for a subset of male, and allow them into their single-sex spaces and sports, and to make "compromises" with female terminology... This is just the latest version of males stepping over women.
So, by what definition are transwomen more oppressed?

Oh I'm thinking more about the general public than the media.
The media has always been split on born women, so the people that are anti-women are probably having an orgasm at the thought of being able to verbally attack biological women and have another community back them up.
The general public however definitely has more of an issue with Trans people, some can't even handle them appearing on TV Shows fgs, like it's gonna be the end of the world or something.
Tbh though with Macy Gray she is from a different generation to me and a lot of us on this Forum, so the people that are expecting her to have modern views on this controversial topic is incredibly unrealistic.
Yeah this is generally the opinion transphobes have.... are we supposed to care because some washed up singer from decades ago said it?
If you shared her opinion she'd be a strong independent black woman, standing up for what she believes in. But because you disagree with her she's nothing but a washed up piece of sh!t in your eyes. People like you are the problem. But you'll never, ever see that so no point even trying to debate it.
Also you saying just because she isn't really famous anymore her opinion doesn't matter? Means nothing? So what, only the opinion of currently famous people matters? Who is one of, if not THE (for better or worse) most famous person in the world right now, Donald Trump? Does his opinion matter to you? (as he's rich and famous).

Sure I'm the problem. Are you still calling women that reject you romantically ugly and undesirable? I'll be glad if you don't want a debate because I don't really have time to be on the receiving end of your incel rage.
If you'd have just asked the second part instead of going straight on the attack I'd have told you - no that isn't what I'm saying at all, she's perfectly entitled to her opinion. I just don't know what makes it thread worthy when it's a basic opinion shared by many like minded people. What makes her saying it any more notable? Do we need a thread every time someone denies trans women their existence?

Come into one of my twitch streams, Incels hate women, right? Half the people in my chat are women, and my best friend online and speedrun buddy is a woman. Im not an incel, so don't throw insults at me just because you feel your opinion is above mine.
You were discrediting an obviously very talented musician back in her time of fame purely because you disagree with her opinion. Just another white man telling another black woman they're wrong, huh? That's just vicious and tragic. But again, you disagree with me so im an 'incel' now and full of 'rage'.
And i know what you're referring to with your comment about calling a woman ugly and undesirable, have a read of that thread back and you'll see that wasn't the case at all. In fact i said she was the most beautiful woman i'd ever seen. So once again you've failed on that personal attack.
Nobody is denying a trans woman's existence, as per you're only hearing what you want to hear.

Why are people feeding into Piers Morgan's BS , he's probably wetting himself with joy at the drama he's caused now.
He's the one stirring things up as PER usual . This is the same pompous fog horn who left the GMB studio because he was losing a debate .... he ran away in a pathetic infantile mood. He's clearly trying anything controversial now to get more exposure , as his show is dropping in ratings.

Why are people feeding into Piers Morgan's BS , he's probably wetting himself with joy at the drama he's caused now.
He's the one stirring things up as PER usual . This is the same pompous fog horn who left the GMB studio because he was losing a debate .... he ran away in a pathetic infantile mood. He's clearly trying anything controversial now to get more exposure , as his show is dropping in ratings.
Tbh I wish that people ignored him as well.
It's people like him why people are so divided, these people make money by us dehumanizing each other due to their "journalism" setting off the metaphorical bomb.

I get what you're saying, but I think holding these opinions on a Piers Morgan programme definitely will make people question Macy Gray as a person, rightly or wrongly.

Do we need a thread every time someone denies trans women their existence?
No-one denies that transwomen exist, they're very visible indeed :joker: declining to play along with a misheld belief isn't the same as denying someone's existence.

Okay pick me, just wait until its your sexuality the people you enable decide they dont want to play along with anymore.
this has nothing to do with sexuality, it's about gender identification. Two completely different things

Yeah, kinda sad some people don't even understand what they're actually arguing here.

What? :joker:
Sexuality is something which literally exists, people are attracted to whoever they're attracted to. There's nothing to "play along" with, as it's not imaginary.
Gender identity is just a belief, it has no material existence.

Because people keep acting like transwomen are women, and that gender identity is comparable to sexuality.

Do you really think the conservative types care about any of that? keep playing your part in speeding up the process.

Even "conservative types" seem to play along - has our government done anything you consider anti-trans? If anything they're just as complicit.

"do you think men can get pregnant"
"no i don't"
"then you are denying that Transpeople exist"
Ah, makes sense.

Its a standard shut-down argument
i think "you deny transpeople exist" is a boilerplate response to any question. I've seen it used on here too and thought ... what?

why would a transman want to get pregnant, i get that they can get pregnant while they are transitioning but it is the last thing I think any transman would want?
and non binary are just that, non binary, why exclude the word woman because it upsets someone who doesnt want to be called a woman, makes no sense, if they want to be called a person who can get pregnant that is their choice to make not to have it foisted on others
