Actually if you go to the Glamour UK website, the Dolls are right at the bottom - very easy to appreciate the 9 other women who've been given the award while avoiding the Dolls if you really want to!

Have you shared the wrong link? Because I don't see the "dolls" on there. But neither do I see Hannah Hampton....

Are all the people on that magazine cover trans women?

Yes they are all men.

YABU. Great response from Glamour. Hatred of trans people is no different to the past prevalence and social acceptance of homophobia. Shame on anyone who agrees with JK Rowling.

Fuck me dead. Are you for real? The terrifying thing is that you probably are.

In years to come people are going to look back on this period in history and think society had collectively lost its mind

I sure hope so.

How disgusting to call women dolls. We are real people, not delicate princesses to be handled with care.

Transwomen are always about the beauty and sexy, never about the mental load, doing the laundry or the dishes and sorting out the car insurance.

Luckily it’s men with synthetic identities they’re calling dolls. Fake and plastic. Not sure they’re bright enough to realise that though.

Yes, "Dolls" is a term for trans women and yes, all those people on the cover are male.

Unadulterated gaslighting.

Who in god's name is their target demographic? That's the real question.

I’m confused. So dolls is a general term for trans women? Are all those people on the cover men? Where’s Hannah Hampton then - hidden in the content?

HH is amazing and makes me proud to be a British woman as does Mary Earps and all our glorious Lionesses. This mag is an insult to women.

HPFA · 31/10/2025 16:23

Kind of says it all when people extol how great a female sportsperson is but also think they should be dislodged if any male decides he "feels like a woman".

Thatstheheatingon · 31/10/2025 16:03

I've googled Hannah Hampton off the back of this thread. Why couldn't she be on the cover?

Sadly she doesn't have enough male privilege to qualify. Better luck next time Hannah!

Excellent work Glamour - I'll get a copy from the newsagents. Wouldn't be aware of this otherwise so thanks OP! The rest of the women of the year are also worth reading about - including Hannah Hampton, a first class goalie who helped us secure a second Euros victory.

Please do let me know which newsagents you’re going to purchase this from. 😂

More of an Ellie Kildunne fan myself. Women are storming at sports at the mo.

I see what you’re saying but I don’t think transwomen want to be seen as eunuchs or any kind of third category. They want to be considered to be women and use women’s spaces.

They can think what they like 🤷🏼‍♀️. Doesn’t make it true or indeed possible.

WildCats24 · 31/10/2025 16:12

It’s like Ebony magazine putting Rachel Dolezal on the cover and announcing that she’s “Black Woman of the Year”.

They do say that but it almost never happens (look at the Barbie movie for example.)

Bud Light. Planet Fitness. Target to name a few.

Barbie had a transwoman with a tiny part. It emits a roll of the eyes at best. Had a transwoman/male been cast as Barbie, it would’ve been a different story entirely.

I don't see it quite that way. I have a lot of sympathy for the whole "stuck in the wrong body" thing. I originate from a country which has had "eunuchs" for centuries, and a widespread and unquestioned understanding and acceptance of these individuals into their (not especially elevated) status in society. It's a thing. Not in anywhere near the proportions that social media would have you believe in the handful of western countries that seem to have lost their minds to this concept, and there's definitely a lot of bandwagonning going on - but I don't dismiss it out of hand. Basically, I think there is a third category and I feel desperately sorry for the hard path these people have to beat. They're deserving of status and respect the same as the other two categories of humans. But that path is necessary because they're neither men nor women, they're something else. So this kind of tweet is just bollocks (ha). Clickbait, basically.

She’s a woman. Not woman enough to make the cover mind.

Magazines like Glamour are SO irrelevant in the life of any rational woman as to be heading towards obsolescence. Thank fuck. The boys are welcome to it.

Yep

FrayaMorstater · 31/10/2025 15:53

She’s always right

I like to think so, thanks. Hannah Hampton plays for my team as well so I'm stoked!
