Grammy award-winning singer Adele is accused of transphobia after daring to say she loves being a woman.
Adele won the “Artist of the Year” award at the Brit Awards, which combines the previous Best Male and Best Female Artist awards. The award show is “gender-neutral.”
Accepting the award, Adele 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!” This instantly sent liberals into a rage on social media.
While the crowd cheered for Adele, the reaction online was drastically different.
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling faced a similar wave of criticism in the U.K. and America over her stance on transgender issues.
Brit Awards made headlines for intentionally eliminating categories separated by gender and merging them into a single, gender neutral award.
LGBT activists were immediately enraged. “Please, no, ADELE can’t be a TERF,” one person wrote.
“Who’d have thought Adele was a transphobe and would use her platform to call for the destruction of the trans community. Especially the confused teenagers,” another Twitter user said.
However, Adele is doubling-down on declaring her love for “being female” after she faced criticism over her acceptance speech at the 2022 Brit Awards.
“I’m going to go with my girl! I know I’ve had a lot of s**t the last couple of days,” Adele said.
“You were great but … don’t we love being females, don’t we love being a f–king female, don’t we?” she continued. “I pick her, 100 percent. F—ing sexy, f—ing beautiful, f—ing lovely, confident with all these f—ing men around. Yes, s—, we love being females, don’t we?
“F–king love being females,” Adele added during the outing, which followed a performance on the Graham Norton show.

On Tuesday, the “Easy on Me” singer was criticized for saying she “loves being a woman” while accepting the first gender-neutral artist of the year award at the 2022 Brit Awards.
The new category replaced the separate best female and best male artist categories from previous Brits shows. It is unclear what prompted the Brits to change the name of the award category.

Adele took home the awards for best artist, album and song of the year.
“I understand why the name of this award has changed, but I really love being a woman and being a female artist. I do,” Adele said while accepting the award.
“I’m really proud of us, I really, really am,” she added.
Adele’s speech had social media users criticizing her for being anti-trans and others coming to her defense.
