The song “A Natural Woman” by Aretha Franklin is being bashed by LGBTQ critics as “offensive,” with one organization in particular saying the song helps perpetuate harmful anti-trans stereotypes. Released as a single by Franklin back in 1967, the song is now facing scrutiny - despite preaching positive messages in regards to women and femininity in general. The Norway-based Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance (TCMA), a group that formed earlier this year, has a problem with the song. Statements made by the organization - which seeks to open a chapter “in each European country and North America” - have spawned outrage, including its January 20 request to pull Franklin's song from streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. The post said the song is offensive to transgender people and that “there is no such thing as a ‘natural’ woman.” “Aretha Franklin's 1968 song ‘Natural Woman’ perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes,” the post reads, erroneously listing the song's September 1967 release as coming in 1968. “There is no such thing as a ‘natural’ woman,” the organization went on to declare, before claiming the song has already “helped inspire acts of harm against transgender women.” TCMA wants the song removed from Spotify & Apple Music.
