The renowned guitarist was captured on video at a recent concert in New Jersey, where he stated: "When God made you and me, before we emerged from the womb, you already knew who you are and what you are. A woman is inherently a woman, and a man is inherently a man.”
This statement holds significance because in today's climate, making declarations like this can result in facing the backlash of far-left transgender activists, who spare no effort in attempting to dismantle both you and your career.
I am certain Santana is well aware of this, yet he courageously chose to take this position nonetheless.
Just goes to show how fed up people are getting...
Based Carlos Santana:

From Slay News:
He then told the audience that people cannot change their gender before declaring that transgenders “ain’t right.”
Santana’s comments have enraged liberals, however, who have been taking to social media to accuse him of being “anti-trans.”
“When God made you and me before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what you are,” Santana told his audience.
“Later on, when you grow out of it, you see things, and you start believing that you could be something that sounds good, but you know it ain’t right.
“Because a woman is a woman and a man is a man. That’s it.
“Whatever you wanna do in the closet, that’s your business.
“I’m OK with that,” he added.
Santana then held his hands together and said, “I am like this with my brother Dave Chappelle.”
Following the backlash, Santana clarified his comments to Billboard today: “Here is my personal goal that I strive to achieve every day.
“I want to honor and respect all person’s ideals and beliefs whether they are LGBTQ or not.
“This is the planet of free will and we have all been given this gift.
It is indeed heartening to witness an increasing number of individuals, including notable figures such as Dave Chappelle and Santana, who are taking a firm stance against radical transgender ideologies.
We only hold the hope that the collective backlash does not excessively influence Santana's perspective, leading him to retract his statements.
