United Nations Appoints Male Transgender as ‘Women’s Champion’

 

The United Nations has just appointed a male transgender activist as an ambassador to promote and represent the “empowerment of women.”

Munroe Bergdorf, a male model and broadcaster who has undergone several surgical procedures to try and resemble a “female,” has been appointed as the UN’s “Women’s Champion.”

However, the move has provoked a widespread backlash, with women’s rights groups speaking out to express their “dismay and disappointment.”

The UK Times reports:

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

UN Women bills itself as the “Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.”

The group claims that it works to advance “gender equality and the empowerment of women.”

Nevertheless, the UN group has appointed a man as the UK’s representative for women.

Campaign Group Fair Play For Women issued a statement blasting the appointment of a male disguised as a “woman.”

The group suggests that the move makes a mockery of real women.

“In December the UN Women’s UK committee appointed a male who presents in a highly sexualized stereotype of womanhood as an ambassador for women,” the statement reads.

“UN Women has made a point of demonstrating that it considers males can become women.

“It’s disappointing to see the UK committee go so far as to select a male to represent women.

“Their credibility is in tatters.”

A letter penned by the group and sixteen others including Sex Matters, Transgender Trend, and the Women’s Rights Network, urges that “The female population of the UK is more than 33 million, yet you have ignored every one of us and chosen a male.”

They also state that “Bergdorf’s gender presentation embodies the objectification which most women reject as a particularly demeaning example of offensive gender stereotypes.”

The rights groups also point out that “Bergdorf’s well-publicized activism is not pro-women.

“This person has objected to women making references to our female bodies.”

They continue, “Yet many issues affecting women, such as FGM, child marriage and forced marriage, reproductive rights, male violence against women and girls, rape as a war crime, pregnancy and maternity healthcare, and more, are inextricably linked with our female biology.

“How can this person be a champion of women if these issues are deemed unmentionable?”

The groups also point out that Bergdorf has a checkered history.

“Bergdorf resigned as an adviser on LGBT+ to the UK Labour Party after previous homophobic and racist posts on social media were revealed.

“These included saying that ‘all white people’ are ‘violent racists’ and ‘f**k you, stupid dirty and smelly n**ga.’

“There are numerous examples of homophobic messaging, using expressions like ‘faggot’ and ‘old poof,’ ‘hairy barren lesbian” and “barren…hairy dyke.’

Bergdorf was dropped by cosmetics company L’Oréal in 2017 over the race comments.

He claims that “all white people” are racist and should be held accountable.

“Most of y’all don’t even realize or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege, and success as a race is built on the backs, blood, and death of people of color.

“Your entire existence is drenched in racism.”

The letter further notes:

“In a separate incident, Bergdorf was dropped as an ambassador to a children’s charity, Childline, because of inappropriate messages which were counter to safeguarding norms."
