However, a few fans defended the artist, arguing that she was only celebrating her gender and had no intention of disparaging the trans community.
Adele’s BRIT Awards speech has caused controversy online
The BRIT Honors stated in November 2021 that it has decided to add gender-neutral honors in its 45-year existence after receiving complaints about prohibiting non-binary musicians from being nominated in various categories.
As part of its new gender-neutral classification, BRIT officials amalgamated the traditional Best Male and Best Female Artist categories into Artist of the Year.
When Adele won Artist of the Year, she sparked a debate about transphobia by saying in her acceptance speech that she was happy to be a woman, which brought the prize under scrutiny.
The Easy On Me singer was defended by many on the internet, who noted that she was respecting her femininity, as a result of the controversial remarks.
