Casino Boogie Entertainment(CBE)- On Tuesday the 24th, Aretha Franklin-the Queen of Soul came into the crosshairs of the LGBTQIA#$%&*@{batmanlogo} community when her song Natural Woman was deemed offensive to transwomen.
The Norwegian-based Trans-Activist group TCMA (Trans-Cultural Mindful Alliance) tweeted: Aretha Franklin’s 1968 song Natural Woman perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes. There is no such thing as a natural woman. This song has helped inspire acts of harm against transgender women. TCMA is requesting the song be removed from Spotify and Apple Music.
“Gendered songs are killing more people than Russian bombs today. Artists have to be aware of the fact that when they write songs, stories, etc. that there are over 2,500 genders in the world, and their art must be inclusive to all,” a spokesperson for TCMA said in a zoom call Wednesday.
Natural Woman was released as a single in 1967, an antiquated time when people didn’t trust the science and didn’t know that there are over 3,000 genders( since I’ve typed the previous paragraph ^^^ another 500 have been added). But it isn’t just Aretha Franklin’s adored love ballad that is coming under scrutiny, trans-activist groups are calling on thousands of songs to be removed from Spotify for their violent rhetorics.
“Basically it is our goal to erase all gendered language from art-dating all the way back to the Old Testament and Hieroglyphics. If any work of art mentions the word man or woman, they are contributing to the murder of transpeople everywhere, and we will continue to fight to destroy everything and anything in our path.”
Casino Boogie is looking to help the situation. Listed below are 25 new versions of songs that everyone can enjoy.
