24 women and a man.
A transgender model has been named alongside Princess Anne as one of Vogue’s “women defining Britain”.
The magazine honoured Munroe Bergdorf, a former Labour Party LGBT adviser, who became L’Oréal’s first transgender model in 2017.
The model, who began transitioning in 2009, has been named as one of the Vogue 25, a group of women found by the magazine to be “defining Britain”, alongside the Princess Royal, the Princess of Wales and actress Keira Knightley.
The fashion magazine has claimed that there “couldn’t be a more urgent time” for Bergdorf’s work highlighting the experiences of transgender people.
The article read: “In a time when hate crimes against transgender people are frighteningly high, and anti-trans rhetoric continues to fester in the media and in the legal system… Bergdorf’s voice resonates louder than ever.”
Oh ffs. This delusion about hate crimes and anti-trans rhetoric, when trans people are lauded – worshipped is hardly too strong a word – by all these ridiculous fashion people. The only "anti-trans rhetoric" is people pointing out, politely, that trans women are men. You can't change sex.
Can they not read the writing on the wall? – or indeed the writing in the Supreme Court Equality Act ruling?
