Under fire. Grammy winner Macy Gray is facing backlash for her controversial comments about trans people and the “confusing” spectrum of gender identity.
The “I Try” singer, 54, appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Monday, July 4, when host Piers Morgan asked what she believes defines womanhood. Gray replied that it requires being a “human being with boobs” and a vagina. Morgan, 57, went on to note that while he supports “fairness and equality” for trans women, he doesn’t think they should compete against cis women in sports.
“I totally agree,” Gray chimed in. “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. Sorry.”
The Ohio native continued, “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.”
As she and Morgan debated the difference between biological sex and gender identity, Gray argued that growing up as a young woman is a “completely unique experience” that not everyone can have. “Surgery or finding yourself doesn’t change that. Being a little girl is a whole epic book, you know? And you can’t have that just because you want to be a woman,” she said.
