Am always appreciative of your allyship and willingness to speak up for us,\u201d another person agreed.<\/p>\n<p>Carter\u2019s comments come as the trans argument is heating up in the Hollywood community. For a long time, billionaire author J.K. Rowling was one of the few celebrities speaking out on behalf of women, saying that the trans ideology was dangerous for women\u2019s rights. This got her labeled as a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist).<\/p>\n<p>Now most recently, Bette Midler got in hot water for comments of her own. \u201cWOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even of our name! They don\u2019t call us \u2018women\u2019 anymore; they call us \u2018birthing people\u2019 or \u2018menstruators\u2019, and even \u2018people with vaginas\u2019! Don\u2019t let them erase you! Every human on earth owes you!\u201d the singer shared.<\/p>\n<p>When trans activists came after her, Midler doubled down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPEOPLE OF THE WORLD! My tweet about women was a response to this fascinating and well written piece in the NYT on July 3rd. There was no intention of anything exclusionary or transphobic in what I said;\u00a0 it wasn\u2019t about that,\u201d Midler shared, as The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/it-wasnt-about-that-bette-midler-responds-to-criticism-about-alleged-transphobic-tweet\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s not the only one. Recording artist Macy Gray made similar comments during an appearance on \u201cPiers Morgan Uncensored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will say this, and everybody\u2019s going to hate me, but as a woman, just because you go change your parts doesn\u2019t make you a woman. Sorry,\u201d Gray said, which also inspired a lot of hate and accusations of transphobia.<\/p>\n<p>Both Midler and Gray later expressed their love and support of the LGBTQ community after being attacked online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWonder Woman\u201d star Lynda Carter is the latest celebrity to weigh in on the trans controversy after Bette Midler and singer Macy Gray got slammed for their thoughts on the issue. \u201cI cannot think of anything that helps women\u2019s rights less than pinning the blame on trans women,\u201d the 70-year-old star posted on Twitter Tuesday. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":345,"featured_media":1542193,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1542164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1542164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/345"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1542164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1542164\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1542193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1542164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1542164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1542164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
