Singer Macy Gray Accused of Transphobia After Saying Surgery ‘Doesn’t Make You a Woman’

Grammy Award winning singer Macy Gray is in the hot seat this week for her comments on Trans people and gender identity. She appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Monday, July 4th. Morgan says 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.”

“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.”
