Róisín Murphy was once celebrated as a queer icon, a voice that echoed through the very clubs and communities that made her career. But her recent trans comments posted on X (formally twitter) and past Facebook posts, about trans people have shaken that bond to its core.
In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, Stephen White explores how an artist so deeply embraced by queer culture could turn against it, what that says about allyship, and why this moment matters far beyond one tweet.
The Last Mixed Tape is hosted by Stephen White, and is also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

One response to “Róisín Murphy’s Trans Comments and the Breaking of Trust”
This video is either misguided or a deliberate misrepresentation. The ‘LGBTQI community’ does not represent queer and trans people, but a minority of queer and trans people. Trans ideology is a dogma and does a terrible disservice to trans people.
Murphy’s concerns are about the abuse of children as a result of a harmful ideology. There is clear evidence that children have been harmed, see the Tavistock scandal, for example. She has clearly stated that she has no prejudice towards anyone and is a champion of freedom of expression. Perhaps she has been clumsy in articulation, but she comes from a place of compassion.
