Are transgender activists lobbying music streaming platforms to remove Aretha Franklin’s famous song" A Natural Woman" on grounds it’s offensive to trans women?One Instagramshared a screenshot of a Jan. 23 Daily Mail headline — "Now Aretha Franklin’s song Natural Woman is deemed OFFENSIVE to trans women: Outrage as ‘activists’ demand song is removed from Spotify and Apple Music.

The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. It now reads,"One big joke: ‘Activists’ who called Aretha Franklin’s Natural Woman ‘offensive to trans women’ now claim it WAS ‘satire’ saying ‘It’s simply a commentary on the state of the ‘woke’ movement in general.":"Aretha Franklin’s 1968 song ‘Natural Woman’ perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes.
