In her speech after winning Artist of the Year at the newly gender-neutral Brit Awards, Adele said: “I understand why the name of this award has changed but I really love being a woman and being a female artist.”
A fairly innocuous comment, one might have thought. Not to Fox News and other right-wing outlets who gleefully reported on the ‘backlash’ against the singer, claiming social media users were criticising Adele’s speech as ‘anti trans’.
