What a monster. The bolded portion makes me thing that person has to post here with that leap of logic. Amazing.
Adele has been accused of transphobia after her speech accepting the Artist of the Year gong at the Brit Awards on Wednesday.
For the first time, the Brits were gender-neutral, meaning there were no male or female categories.
But when Adele took to the stage to accept the award, she said: “I understand why the name of this award has changed, but I really love being a woman and being a female artist.”
“I do!” she said.
“I’m really proud of us, I really, really am.”
While her comments garnered applause in the audience at London’s O2 Arena, the online reaction was quite different, with some calling her comments “anti-trans.”
“Please, no, Adele, don’t be a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist),” one person tweeted.

“Who’d have thought Adele was a transphobe and would use her platform to call for the destruction of the trans community?” another person raged.
“Especially the confused teenagers.”
