Macy Gray: “Changing Your Parts Doesn’t Make You A Woman!”

R&B legend Macy Gray has said that she doesn’t believe that transgender athletes should be allowed to compete with real women. The singer was speaking to Piers Morgan on his Uncensored show.

She said: ‘Just because you go and change your parts doesn’t make you a woman, sorry.’ 

According to The Mail Online:

In an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, the 54-year-old acknowledged that people will ‘hate me for saying this’ but ‘I know that for a fact. If you want me to call you a ‘her’, I will, because that’s what you want but that doesn’t make you a woman just because I call you a ‘her’ and just because you got a surgery.’

Morgan said that most public figures were too terrified to say ‘what a woman is’.

The singer agreed, saying: ‘I know!.. I would say a human being with boobs. How about you start there? And a vagina.’

The duo discussed the issue of transgender women in sport as the host said: ‘I support all trans rights to fairness and equality’.

Morgan then went on to add how he doesn’t support transgender people with ‘physical superior bodies’ that thrash on women in their sports…

She (Gray) went on to say: ‘A woman goes through a completely unique experience and surgery and finding yourself doesn’t change that. Being a little girl is a whole epic book, you know? You can’t have that just because you want to be a woman.’

When Piers pointed out that Harry Potter author JK Rowling had been criticized for her views on trans women, Macy said: ‘But it’s the truth.’

Adding: ‘I don’t think you should be called transphobic just because you don’t agree… there is a lot of judgement and throwing stones at people for just saying what it is, do you know what I mean?’
