But that doesn’t make you a woman just because I call you a ‘her’ and just because you got surgery.” Gray also argued that “being a little girl is a whole epic book … and you can’t have that because you want to be a woman.” I don’t think you should be called transphobic just because you don’t agree.” Rowling was also quick to announce her support following Gray’s comments, claiming on Twitter Tuesday morning that she plans to buy Gray’s “entire back catalog.” During the episode, he told Gray she might get “attacked” like Rowling for her comments, to which Gray responded, “But it’s the truth. Both Midler’s and Gray’s arguments are resonant of the same TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) ideology that children’s book author J.K. Rowling has been pushing over the past few years, which is built on the belief that trans women shouldn’t be considered “real” women because of their biological sex. While she defined a woman as “a human being with boobs and a vagine,” she also later confessed, “Everybody’s going to hate me, but as a woman, just because you go change your parts doesn’t make you a woman.

Women in Hollywood have hit back at inclusive language of trans men, nonbinary people in discussions around abortion and women's rights.

In a tweet, she said " there is no bigger admirer of (the) LGBT community" than her. "There are plenty of females who aren't women yet and every girl gets that." "I know that for a fact." "Bad Feminist" author Roxane Gay added: " No one is trying to erase women with inclusive language about people who need abortion care. "Don’t fall for the anti-trans panic fake nonsense. They don’t call us 'women' anymore; they call us 'birthing people' or 'menstruators,' and even 'people with vaginas'!" Midler tweeted Monday.

"But if you want me to call you a ‘her,’ I will, because that’s what you want. "There's a lot of judgment and throwing stones at people for just saying what it is." "What is it about 'womanhood' that TERFs like macy gray and bette midler are so desperate to cling to?" In a statement to FOX News Digital, Gray added: "I have nothing but love for the LGBTQ+ and transgender community and have been a supporter since day one. because i know what it means to be one. "I know," Gray responded. But Morgan noted that he is against athletes "born to obvious physical superior bodies, transitioning and then thrashing the women at their sport."

Macy Gray issued a strong message to critics after making 'transphobic' comments on Piers Morgan Uncensored.

‘i got nothing but love for lgbt+ and transgender communities,’ she penned. Asked to describe what a woman is, Gray said: ‘I’d say a human being with boobs. And a vagina!

Both entertainers were trending on social media this week as transgender advocates and allies called out what they saw as transphobic remarks.

“You’re just slowly, slowly shrinking the population of people who are deserving of recognition and deserving of dignity and humanity and personhood.” “That is the same thing that trans women say: ‘I wasn’t raised as a man. Particularly when we think about how race, class and disability cut through and divide women as a class of people,” she said. Originally, “TERF” referred to a specific, radical feminist ideology, but in recent years it has become an umbrella term to describe anyone who opposes trans rights or advocacy in the name of feminism. I was raised as a nonbinary person.” “My reading on the panic around gender-neutral or gender-inclusive language is that it’s basically disingenuous,” Gill-Peterson said. The fight over abortion rights has magnified this effort — as well as criticism of it. WOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even of our name! This language can offend both transgender and cisgender people.” But that focus actually diminishes the concerns of trans people at large, Gill-Peterson said. I respect everyone’s right to feel comfortable in their bodies and live their own truth.” (On Tuesday, Rowling seemed to support Gray’s comments, tweeting, “Today feels like a good day to ensure I’ve bought Macy Gray’s entire back catalogue.”)

"I will say this and everybody's going to hate me, but, as a woman, just because you go change your parts, doesn't make you a woman.

"There was no intention of anything exclusionary or transphobic in what I said; it wasn't about that," her tweet concluded.

“And you can’t have that just because you want to be a woman.” But that doesn’t make you a woman just because I call you a ‘her’ and just because you got a surgery.” That didn’t stop many from accusing Gray of that very thing.

I'm just saying what's wrong with a new flag and what's wrong with representing where we are now?' 'My idea was to make the stars the colors of all of us. there is a lot of judgement and throwing stones at people for just saying what it is, do you know what I mean?' So there would be a star representing you, one representing me, one representing everybody in the room, right. Her selective freedom for some is a 'no' from me. We have so much work to do [to] help everyone see that patriarchy is a universal problem. I don't know what it means to be a trans woman and I never said I did. Being a little girl is a whole epic book, you know? And a vagina.' I would say a human being with boobs. Because I know what it means to be one. In the interview, Gray told Morgan: '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.'
