I have just seen this in the Times: Trans model shouldn’t represent British women, UN told

www.thetimes.co.uk/article/trans-model-shouldnt-represent-british-women-un-told-nsr0j02wc

I am very pleased to see that various women's organisations are making the point so very clearly. I do not believe the UN women's role should go to an activist as a career move, rather than to a woman who understands the issues of VAWG.

I am keen to write myself and wondered if anyone has done so and got a reply.

I am not sure why share token is not working but screenshots in my posts above.

Glad there's some pushback.
The comments I've read so far seem 100% in favour of women being represented by a woman.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/01/2024 18:15

I can never work out how to get a sharetoken from the web page, and the app won't update till midnight.

Why does this person keep getting such positions?

A track record of racism, homophobia, misogyny and child safeguarding failure yet still appointed to represent women. 🙈

Not to mention asking women not to talk about issues that only affect females. How can they represent women?

ArabellaScott · 02/01/2024 18:31

Apparently well connected, Rainbow.

Because yes, it's baffling. They say Bergdorf is involved in 'fashion' - by this, I think they mean he wears clothes.

There is absolutely no achievement or history there that would suggest that Bergdorf is in any way qualified to work in VAWG or any kind of political position.

Glad to see pushback from UK women's groups.

Fully expect UN Women apparatchiks to ignore it and/or declare it phobic cos they don’t anppear to give much of a shit about XX women’s concerns these days 🙄🤷‍♀️

GrimDamnFanjo · 03/01/2024 00:48

I found this appointment so very depressing. We can't even be represented by someone of our own sex at the UN.

It simply beggars belief, doesn't it? But we've seen that the UN is absolutely determined to push a trans agenda and has a number of powerful and influential trans zealots working for them.

I've just read this in the Mail, if anyone wants to link a free to read version.

Rightsraptor · 03/01/2024 06:19

It's in the DT, too and the comments seem to be totally opposed to this appointment.

There's uncertainty about who and what UN Women actually is. Many think it's an arm of the United Nations while others say it's a charity with no link to that organisation. It's very confusing.

IdealHomeExhibition · 03/01/2024 07:46

Thanks. Monroe has stated in interviews before they wont discuss what 'procedures' they've had done so the UN have hired someone who possibly has a penis to represent women 🤔 not that removing it makes anyone a woman.

FrancescaContini · 03/01/2024 08:07

This is so appalling. What qualifies this man to represent women and girls? What does he know about VAWG? As for using his position to highlight “transphobia” - give us a feckin’ break from your own issues, please.

Because in Genderland, liking fashion and clothes = you must be female. Especially if you like pink 🤦‍♀️
