Macy Gray says comments about trans community were “grossly misunderstood”
Macy Gray has responded to being labelled transphobic due to quotes from a new interview, saying her words were “grossly misunderstood”.In a new interview on Piers Morgan’s TV show Uncensored, the singer was asked what she believed a woman was, during a debate about trans athletes.“I’d say a human being with boobs,” she responded.
You have to start there. And a vagina! That’s getting confusing.”She then added: “Just because you go change your [body] parts, doesn’t make you a woman, sorry.“Like if you want me to call you a her, I will, ‘cause that’s what you want, but that doesn’t make you a woman just ‘cause I call you a her and just because you got a surgery.”After Morgan said that Gray may receive similar criticism from the trans community that has been levelled at J.K.
