[img]Adele is being accused of transphobia for declaring at a woke gender-neutral awards show that she loves “being a woman.” The “Rolling in the Deep” singer made the remark at Tuesday’s Brit Awards as she collected the prize for Artist of the Year, a newly created category merging the old Best Male and Best Female Artist awards. “I understand why the name of this award has changed but I really love being a woman and being a female artist. I do!” she said to huge cheers. “I’m really proud of us, I really, really am,” she said. Despite support from the audience in London’s huge O2 Arena, her comments quickly sparked outrage online — making her the latest high-profile figure accused of being a TERF, or trans-exclusionary radical feminist.[/img]
“Please, no, ADELE can’t be a TERF,” a “staunch feminist” performer named Jacob told his thousands of Twitter followers.

“Who’d have thought Adele was a transphobe and would use her platform to call for the destruction of the trans community. Especially the confused teenagers,” another long-time Twitter user posted.

Others complained that they had “lost a lot of respect for Adele” and would no longer “spend a cent on her music,” the Times of London noted.



I envisioned the gender neutral crowd acting the same way the crowd did when Bill Burr went on his Philly rant lol

Bruce Jenner can be proud of being a woman but Adele cannot

Oh no, online backlash!
That’s the only place these freaks (and notice how they all have cartoon or anime avatars, because that’s the only way they’ll look like women) have any hold because they aren’t betrayed by reality there and can survive in their echo chamber and block any dissenting voices.

I’ve had quite enough of pandering to the mentally ill groomers who are trying to convince impressionable, hormonal and troubled kids that they are somehow born wrong.

It’s disgusting.

This is the core of a big issue we have now. Since everyone can have a global voice you get a situation where a handful of Twitter Tweeters can and are being called outrage. Often the tweeters are just trolls. Just like the trolls on TD catch fish every day there are people sitting back and laughing at the fish that get caught by the Twitter anglers.

There are plenty of examples of them not being trolls. And the media reports it, which makes it true in the minds of many. And then politicians make moves because a small minority is loud beyond their numbers.

The fantastic thing about this statement is I can't tell if it was posted as satire or intended to be taken seriously.

BTW including the word "radical" in the TERF is just amazing. Orwell could have written it as doublespeak
