Well, it seems that 56 years after it's release, Aretha Franklin's (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman has finally offended someone.
And by offended, I mean that I believe they are a group who are looking hard for something by which to be offended...
I have to believe that The Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance in Norway has run out of things to lobby for and work towards, right? They've achieved all their goals in Norway, right? I mean what other explanation can there be to be offended by a 56 year old song? I wonder if the believe Ms. Franklin's intent was to offend them...
Normally, I don't really care about the trans issues, I'm too old, I know too many people of all stripes, some in my own family... but at what point do we just say "Enough, stop it?" You just can't, as a trans person, be offended by a 56 year old song. Just ******* stop it. Enough.
They’re saying a little prayer.

“Aretha Franklin’s 1968 song ‘Natural Woman’ perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes,” the organization tweeted. “There is no such thing as a ‘natural’ woman.”
The message continued, “The song has helped inspire acts of harm against transgender women. TCMA is requesting it is removed from Spotify & Apple Music...”
