JK Rowling weighs in after Glamour UK names group of trans ‘dolls’ as Women of the Year: ‘..men are better women’
- On Thursday, Glamour UK featured nine trans women on its Women of the Year cover at 180 Studios, London.
- Glamour UK said the feature responds to rising threats to trans rights in the UK and aimed to honour nine ground-breaking voices from fashion, music, charity and activism this year.
- The cover names models and performers including Munroe Bergdorf, Ceval Omar, Taira, Munya, Bel Priestley, Maxine Heron, Dani St James, Mya Mehmi and Shon Fayemodel, while Sugababes members Mutya Buena, Siobhan Donaghy and Keisha Buchanan, Frankie Bridge, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Rachel Zegler attended the ceremony.
- The decision drew immediate online backlash and public criticism, with JK Rowling writing, `I grew up in an era when mainstream women's magazines told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier. Now mainstream women's magazines tell girls that men are better women than they are.`
- The cover imagery used `Protect The Dolls` t-shirts to link the awards to trans‑rights activism, as Glamour UK presented this choice as celebrating activism across creative and charitable fields.
