My transbrothers were pissed about it, and I posted a YouTube video in the post from one of them who let Ke$sha's no talent behind have it.
So here are the comments that came in about that post: from Agent AK and helsings.
Agent AK
That is taken completely out of context. She's not talking about a trans guy, she's talking about a whiny, bitchy guy. It's like Katy Perry saying "You PMS like a bitch" in Hot and Cold. Don't take it so personally.

- Are you that stupid? What she means with those lyrics are that she can't date a guy who ACTS LIKE A GIRL. Hence, he has a "vag."It's not referring to transexuals, dumbass.
Hmm, will need to launch two rhetorical Tomahawks for this nuking. Start the countdown 5...4...3...2...1. launch 1...launch 2
Both of you are sorely lacking in reading comprehension. You keep tap dancing around the fact that I am focused on this lyric:
You should know
That I love you alone
But I just can’t date a dude with a vag
'Dude with a vag' can't interpreted any other way by people in the trans community as being offensive to transmen irregardless of what this sorry song is talking about.
Agent AK, it's typical of wallowing in privilege people to try to tell a marginzalized group what they should and should not take personally.
The song may be about a whiny guy, but there were other ways to write about that subject without including the lyric that has transmen ticked off. Since you brought Katy Perry into this mix, she managed to do so without offending or insulting the trans community
So what was Ke$ha's problem?
