Macy Gray has again responded to backlash over her remarks about transgender women.

During an appearance on Piers Morgan's show "Uncensored" earlier this week, Gray told Morgan that she agrees with his belief that trans women athletes should not be able to compete alongside cisgender women.

"Everybody's going to hate me, but as a woman, just because you go change your parts doesn't make you a woman. Sorry," said Gray, adding that a woman is categorized as "a human being with boobs and a vagina."

Gray then took it a step further: "If you want me to call you a 'her,' I will, because that's what you want. But that doesn't make you a woman just because I call you a 'her' and just because you got surgery." Gray also argued that "being a little girl is a whole epic book … and you can't have that because you want to be a woman."

After the clip went viral, Gray denied being transphobic, stating that she had "nothing but love for the LGBTQ+ and transgender community."

"My statement on Piers Morgan was grossly misunderstood," she wrote on social media. "I don't hate anyone. I respect everyone's right to feel comfortable in their bodies and live their own truth."

However, the pushback continued, so Gray clapped back: "all of you coming on my page, threatening me and calling me names - just becuz i said something you don't agree with - be whatever you wana be, and fk off."

Her remarks have divided social media.
