Lorde Says: ‘I’m a Woman Except When I’m a Man’

This generation is exhausting.

Grown ups playing dress up and make believe for attention. Pathetic.

You don’t have a dick. You’re not a man. But you are a cunt.

Case closed.

I used to like her.

I relate, I'm a Gemini.

I have an 30 inch waist and have a second home in Naples.

Of course she’s good friends with Chappell Roan.

If that woman is a man, I'm an elephant.

Somebody wants attention.

This is annoying but I have to admit her music sounds better lately

I hate this nebulous statements - for once I'd like to hear the question - can you give me an example?

Of course they can't or won't.

So regressive and word salad. Imagine telling an 8 year old girl playing baseball with her neighborhood friends that she's actually a boy when she does that. WTF?

I've said it a 1000 times - but this blind acceptance and parroting of this gender bullshit with no examples and just 'feels' has got to stop. Everyone is just rolling over and going - oh GREAT! You do YOU! I'm supportive of any bullshit that comes out of your mouth.

No critical thinking - just blind acceptance lest you offend someone. And they WILL tell you if they are offended and will try to shame you to oblivion.

Yes, R10, why doesn't just ONE journalist ask the obvious question: "So what is it you do when you're a man that one cannot do as a woman?" Lorde, in the olden days we called this "sexism".

R11 - followed by "But I'm not a feminist or anything - I LOVE men. I have a lot of men in my life that I get along with and I am close to."

Sigh.

Cannot believe she's 28. She looks 58.

More like 18.

Has cunt face JK Rowling weighed in?

Lorde says: "I haven't had a hit since 2011"

R15 Fuck my legacy!

R17 - actually her legacy is going to be fine in the history books. There will be films about how she was hounded and criticized for her stance supporting biological women.

Future generations will look back and be shocked at what is going on today. JK will be just fine - in her own lifetime.

Isn't Lorde Madonna's fat daughter? Who cares about her.

Oh yeah, that preternaturally aged guy with no postcode envy

Translation: I'm a complex mix of 'masculine' and 'feminine' qualities, just like everybody else

I forgot all about Lorde! She had that one huge album and then was never heard from again.

No R19. Nothing to do with Madonna.

Madonna's daughter's name is Lard-ass.

Oops, I mean [bold] LOURDES.

S/he is really desperate to drum up some interest in their upcoming album after the last one REALLY bombed.

[quote]she mentioned a recent conversation with Chappell Roan, who’s become a good friend.

Welp, there’s the problem.

She’s always been a fraud.

Goodness, how this will endear her/him/them/xem to Datalounge!

I liked her “What Was That?” single and the NYC video... though the song only got to #36 on the US chart.

She looka like a man.

Datalounge: 'she looks kind of mannish now'

Also Datalounge: 'wait, she IDENTIFIES that way? CANCEL'

Meaningless, Lorde.

Who's this Lorde person?

Although it's become a cliche to say this about artists...Lorde's songs really do all sound like the same song!

I'm sure she devastated by these reactions on DL. She might be too upset to count her money or laugh all the way to the bank today.

But just devasted, I'm sure.

A temporary behavior does not change your gender or your 'identity'.

And if you get to change yourself based on a thought or an action, then the rest of us get the same right to call you different genders or identities based on how WE see it.

So I'm calling you sir if you don't wear a skirt or don't wear makeup.

Your perception of yourself and the world around you is not on a higher level than what others perceive. If perception and feelings are what matters, then our perception is just as important as yours and we should be allowed to change up our behavior and how we interact with you in the same manner.

But they won't like that. it's all about THEM.

[quote]If that woman is a man, I'm an elephant.

And I am Marie of Romania!

We told you!

Is this a new pronoun?

I couldn’t stand her when she first came out with her big but forgettable hit. Her voice was wretched and there was something else I didn’t like about her that I couldn’t put my finger on. Now I know what it is.

This is where we have felt younger people. Maybe it started with the everyone gets a trophy generation, or maybe it came later, but someone should look this woman in the eye and say, “ no, you’re never a man, because that’s impossible. If you’re having these feelings, let’s get you someone to talk to so you can get over them.”

She’s 28???

Looks 52.

I’m a dog except when I’m a cat.

Music video for new song "Man Of The Year" just came out and she binds her tits with duct tape. She's definitely tr.anny baiting, it's sad she couldn't find a way to stay relevant some other way.

And her face looks rougher than ever at the start of the video.

Will she have a comeback single. Or EP. Or Album.

I can't say I'm on tenterhooks because I don't know what that is

But probably no

I mean, yes, her new album "Virgin" comes out June 27th.

R42, I actually like that song. Don't think it has "hit" potential, but it's pretty cool.

I feel like Lorde's gender "fluidity" is just this (female) generation's "I'm a bisexual" that was oh-so-popular in the late 90s-early 00s.

Every "cool" girl I knew back then was bi. Except that they only dated men. And fell in love with men. And fucked men.

Harmless, but a bit annoying.

r45 I love 'What Was That' and listen to it regularly, but find this one to be tuneless shit. Hoping for better things on the album.

And I agree that it's a harmless fad. But she's kinda getting too old for that, wish she explored more interpersonal stuff instead.

What was wrong with just saying "I'm a gay man in a woman's body" and then just leaving it there?

Thought they were a one hit wonder.

It's still the morning here and already I've experienced multiple different genders.

I woke up, farted (male), sat down on the toilet (female) left debris in the bowl (male) put beach down the toilet after flushing (female).

I've also made an espresso latte (trans masc) and posted 3 times on Datalounge (trans femme).

R49 you contain multitudes.
