Adele labelled transphobic: 'We can't be angry at a woman for saying I like being a woman'

Adele's declaration that she loves being a woman during her speech at the Brit Awards has sparked a transphobia debate.

Showbiz correspondent JJ Anisiobi tells Jeremy Kyle: "People are saying she is transphobic which is crazy. We can't be angry at a woman for saying I like being a woman."

Proud to be white - not OK

Proud to be English - not OK

Proud to be a woman - not OK

Identifies as a pansexual dolphin - so brave

What a time to be alive...

The fact they’re offended by a women saying this is clarification therapy would be more appropriate than gender reassignment.

Were she a bloke saying he's a woman, they'd call him brave, hand over a big bouquet and sing his praises.

I like being a woman. How on earth is that controversial? I really do, I love it. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I also like being the age I am. Is that ageist? I like my height too, sorry if that offends anyone.

A woman says she’s proud to be a woman. Gets destroyed. A transwoman says she’s proud to be a woman. Gets applauded. Go figure.

Do not be dictated too by crazies . I'm every Woman loud & Proud . Biology not Ideology madness.

I can't even bring myself to try to understand why anyone would take aim at a woman, stating she's proud of her womanhood. Makes me vomit, over their heads.

How on earth, did we get to this point where you can't be happy with what you're and who you're?!

[rosemaryhowes]

I also love being a woman and female and don't care what the woke brigade think.

[PBUK]

Let's face it, it shouldn't have been labeled a gender neutral Award... I think Adele was right in saying what she did!!

[seandelap]

Has it really got to the point that's its hate speech to simply acknowledge that women exist.

[dorothyronan]

I like being a woman and I like my husband taking out the rubbish 🤷‍♀️ Anyone offended can get stuffed.

[bearskyshebearsky]

With all the bullying going on I AM becoming very VERY transphobic! This is getting out of Control!

[GEETATAILOR]

I absolutely love being a woman and will shout out as loud as I can. Nothing wrong with Adele loving being a woman. Stop this nonsense - let everyone be themselves. There must be a phobic word for those who are against this.

[lozzy]

There’s nothing transphobic about loving being a woman 🙄 WTF

[shenaramoon]

So a man can be a woman and is applauding him
But how dare a woman like being a woman
So sick of it

I know you need something to moan about on your show but the best thing to do with these lunatic activists is just ignore them and don’t feed the attention seeking monsters they are.

Don't like Adele's music or her antics - if she was performing in my back garden I'd close the curtains and play loud music - but why should she not be allowed to enjoy being a woman? Is the inference from the woke alphabet mob that a woman should not enjoy being a woman? and by extension that she may find more enjoyment by 'transitioning'? In some ways these people remind me of militant trade union activists trying to recruit membership

If someone said he was proud of being a man 👨 I bet nobody would criticise him
