Macy, we all heard you loud and clear
In the interview, the singer explained that a trans person “finding [themself]” doesn’t make trans women, women, but that “you could call yourself whatever you want.”
Let’s be clear: trans people’s gender identities are not defined by their genitals. Whatever body part people have between their legs is no one’s business. But isn’t Gray contradicting her own “boobs and a vagina” narrow-minded definition of womanhood here? “Being a little girl is a whole epic book and you can’t have that just because you want to be a woman,” she added.
It seems that Gray doesn’t understand that trans women — regardless of the sex they were assigned at birth — are simply women.defines gender identity as “a person’s internal, deeply held knowledge of their own gender.” Trans people’s gender identities are not built on anatomical differences, but on their own sense of identity and expression — and unlike, Gray’s definition, it’s not something you can simply “see.
Gray defended her. “But it’s the truth,” Gray said. “And I don’t think you should be called transphobic just because you don’t agree… there’s a lot of judgment and throwing stones at people for just saying what it is.”
