Brown also talked fondly about her diverse fanbase, telling
Attitude that the crowds at her book signings consist of “such an array of people: old, young, gay, trans, multicultural, multiracial, multisexual.” “It was an eye-opener,” she said, adding that domestic abuse is “not discussed enough [in] the LGBTQ+ community because so many other issues take the forefront.”
One of those issues, especially in the U.K., is
widespread TERFery especially aimed toward trans children. Though she didn’t explicitly reference that phenomenon, Brown shared her own nonchalant attitude toward her own children’s identities.
“I’ve always said, ‘You are who you are. I don’t care what you identify as. I’m going to love you anyway because you were for nine months in my tummy,’” she told
Attitude. “I don’t have those old-fashioned ways of thinking. I’m not tarnished with that.”
Scary Spice isn’t the only member of the iconic girl group combating outdated attitudes toward gender. Emma Bunton, a.k.a.
Baby Spice, posted a graphic to her Instagram account last year vowing to protect trans kids.
