Go on, hit us again

Insult to women number eleventy billion:

Seventeen women’s rights groups have signed a letter to the charity UN Women UK expressing concern about its choice of a transgender woman as its “UK champion”.

Organisations including Fair Play for Women, Sex Matters, Transgender Trend and the Women’s Rights Network wrote of their “dismay and disappointment” that Munroe Bergdorf had been picked.

One, a man; two, a man who dresses up as a parody of a Hot Babe. Insult piled upon insult.

Bergdorf, 36, a model and broadcaster, was given the post of the first UN Women UK Champion in November. UN Women UK supports the work of the UN Women entity to improve the lives of women and girls, as well as the “empowerment of women equality globally within civil society, government and the corporate sector”.

Except it clearly doesn’t do that, because it’s too busy promoting men like Munroe Bergdorf and their porny ideas of what women are.

“I’m incredibly proud to step into my new role as a UN Women UK Champion,” Bergdorf said. “Working with the UN has been a personal ambition and dream of mine ever since I started working in the activism space over a decade ago. It’s a responsibility that I don’t take lightly.

“I will use this role to further advocate for the progress, safety, inclusion and empowerment of all women and girls, of all communities and identities. I will continue to draw attention to the systemic and social impact of misogyny, transphobia and gender-based inequality within the UK — in order to help provide data and insight that contributes to forming tangible methods of tracking and countering it.”

In other words he’ll use his role as a UN Women UK Champion to change the subject from women to men who dress up as women. Thanks, that’s a big help.
