Singer Jess Glynne has been condemned for using an anti-trans slur during a podcast interview.
The “Hold My Hand” singer made the comments in an episode of
The Mo Gilligan Podcast.
During the interview, Glynne described a time when she took a friend to a “tranny strip club”, laughing at how he was seemingly uncomfortable.
“This is probably the funniest bit,” Glynne says in a clip widely circulated on social media. “We got to the end of our trail, whatever. It was like a tranny like strip club thing. He’s this bad man like, ‘What is this?’ There was just men dressed as… he was stood in the corner like, ‘Oh my days. ”

Courtney Act, Monét X Change and Vinegar Strokes star in the all-drag murder mystery now playing at London’s Garrick Theatre.
Death Drop is one of the most ridiculous plays we’ve ever witnessed on the West End stage – and that’s quite a feat given all the over-the-top shows we’ve covered.
