@pinknews: Ethel Cain has issued an apology after several old posts, including one which she admits contained “r**ist language”, resurfaced, but the transgender singer is also “pursuing legal recourse” in the face of what she has called a massive smear campaign against her. Cain, whose real name is Hayden Anhedönia, took to social media on Wednesday (9 July) to post a lengthy apology after historical comments from here past were reposted by anonymous accounts, including Cain admitting using the n word. The screenshots show Cain saying “build that wall, in response to a post mocking Latinx people, wearing a t-shirt that read “legalise incest”, and ridiculing people who use pronouns other than he, or they. Most of the reposts are from Q and A website Curious Cat and were posted by X/Twitter account @herweirdsilas.

Guys criticizing her apology is fine, but make sure your criticisms are actually of what she said. I’m seeing so many comments saying “saying you were 19 isn’t an excuse.” That is literally what she said. She said “I was 19 and fully aware of what I was saying.”

The “everyone has that phase” and “they were young” excuses are so incredibly lazy. 20 is an adult and no not everyone had a bigoted phase. Some of us are actually decent human beings raised by other decent human beings

Y'all saying that she was an adult, she had to UNLEARN indoctrination stop being such morally superior stuckups who expect everyone to be bias-less from birth, not everyone has an upbringing where open mindedness and acceptance was the law.

“I was young”, “I am white” and “It is a smear campaign” is an unbelievable trifecta.

As a Hispanic male, I forgive her and read her statement. Shes okay with losing people over this and is taking accountability. People can change and I believe she has and is still changing. This is also something she’s addressed years ago btw

These comments are so weird cuz if this was literally any other artists with a bigger platform it would not be an issue AT ALL. She apologized, she grew and changed, but thats just not enough for people anymore, unless its their fave, then things are different. And even then, YOUR faves would never in a million years address their mistakes in the way ethel did. Think about that.

white people get to make jokes and have a dark humor phase .. poc kids get bullied and even die at the hands of people with those views it is always THAT deep especially when a person causing harm is already old enough to know better

Her statement - "I did say and post those things BUT they've been compiled and weaponized against me by TERFS"

summarize: she was born in a racist/religious/conservative environment and posted those tweets with that mentality and then she became woke and started mocking her actions and feels embarrassed and sorry for her past actions

i hate cancel culture she took accountability people grow and change, literally in her statement she explained everything. She didn’t deny her past mistakes, she owned up to it and apologized.

I always hate the “I was young” excuse, girl I never used those words when I was young. She’s a bunch of red flags.

Guys she never made an excuse to what she did even she admitted to do so. But as someone who comes from a very conservative place I will say people change. And if you follow her you can see her advocating for social injustices when it comes to minorities. Again, I get being upset/disappointed but don’t put anyone on a pedestal, nobody is perfect and not everything is black and white. Being progressive is a privilege that not everybody can afford, once a person has it it’s up to them to change.
