R&B singer Macy Gray has been accused of being “transphobic” after she said, “Switching places doesn’t make you a woman.” The singer responded to the attacks by tweeting that she only interpreted the word “woman.”
“I did not specify trans women. Just a girl. Because I know what it means to be. I didn’t know what it meant to be a trans woman, and I didn’t say I knew. But it works just as well,” Gray wrote in a recently deleted tweet, according to a post in Fox News.
On Monday, Gray was attacked after he told Piers Morgan a woman was “a man with boobs and pussy.”
“I’m going to say this and everybody’s going to hate me, but as a woman, just because you switch places doesn’t make a woman. Sorry, Gray added. – I know that for sure.
“Women have a completely different experience and operation or calling yourself doesn’t change anything.”

“If you want to call me ‘it’, I’ll do it because you love me. “But you’re not that woman just because I called you ‘she’ and just because you had the surgery,” the singer continued.
“Women had a completely different experience. And that doesn’t change with surgery or self-discovery. Being a little girl is a totally epic book, and you can’t have a book just because you want to be a girl,” Gray said.
After Morgan noted that such remarks could be called “transphobic,” the singer said, “Pero is, too, and I don’t think you should be called transphobic because you disagree.”
“There’s a lot of judgment and grinding of people just for saying what it is,” he added.
In a statement to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, Gray said he “has nothing but love for the LGBTQ+ and transgender community and has supported them from day one.”
“My statement about Piers Morgan was misunderstood,” the singer added. “I don’t hate anyone. I respect everyone’s right to be comfortable in their body and live their own truth.”
Gray has been called “ignorant”, “transphobic”, and “TERF” (transgender-specific radical feminist) by transgender and left-wing activists, referring to feminists whose advocacy for women’s rights does not include biological men recognized as women.
