[QUOTE="HotNewHipHop, post: 48642, member: 83"] We're sure the last thing Macy Gray expect this week was to become a standing trending topic, yet here we are. The veteran entertainer found herself on the receiving end of backlash after she joined Piers Morgan on his talk show. They spoke about a variety of topics, but Gray's remarks about the transgender community caused an uproar. "I will say this, and everyone’s gonna hate me, but as a woman, just because you go change your parts,[URL='https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/jk-rowling-defends-macy-gray-amid-transphobia-allegations-news.154598.html'] doesn’t make you a woman.[/URL] Sorry," she told Morgan. "I know that for a fact." Gray seemingly backtracked when she later stated, "My statement on Piers Morgan was grossly misunderstood. I don't hate anyone.
