Men often make better women than do women
Or so some of the arrogant narcs and their pandering handmaidens claim. And it's not just Munroe Bergdorf

It is no wonder that many feminists refer to UN Women as ‘un-women’. After decades of women fighting to get promoted in the workplace, paid equally to men, and generally taken seriously and rewarded for our merits, men – this time in the guise of being ‘transwomen‘ are being appointed over our heads.
The model Munroe Bergdorf, born male but identifies as female, was picked as the very first ‘UK Champion’ for UN Women UK at the beginning of 2024.
This is the same Bergdorf that had to stand down from their role on the Labour Party’s LGBT+ advisory board following uproar from feminists. During the centenary celebrations of women’s right to vote in 2018, Munroe branded the suffragettes ‘white supremacists’.
It is difficult to know what Munroe has done for women other than appropriate our identity. But UN women is just one entity among many, wanting to be seen to celebrate men who claim to be women on the basis of little other than their self-proclaimed transgender identity.

In 2022, a transgender barrister sparked a row after being shortlisted for a prominent legal profession award intended to highlight the achievements of female lawyers. Robin Moira White was nominated in the “Leader of the Year” category of the “Women Influence and Power in Law UK Awards”.
Transgender activist India Willoughby was nominated as a 2023 “Woman of the Year”.
Ahead of the award ceremony in London, Willoughby poured scorn on what they brand the “anti-trans movement”. Willoughby was included among more than 400 “outstanding women” chosen by the award panel to attend the event.
A trans-identified male who provides “diversity training” to a UK-based charity was presented with the “Outstanding Female LGBTQIA+ Champion 2023” award. Katie Neeves has previously prompted criticism for stating during a training session that they used to steal their sister’s underwear.
Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard came out as trans in 2012, aged 33, only to resume their career in sport – but in the women’s category. Until then a mediocre contender, following transition Hubbard was selected to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics, pushing aside Kuinini Manumua, a 21-year-old woman who had earned her place and would otherwise have been there.
And in 2018, a senior director at Credit Suisse was awarded a place on a list of the Top 100 Women in Business. Philip Bunce, who sometimes goes to the office in a wig and women’s clothing, was named on the Financial Times & HERoes “Champions of Women in Business” list, which is an annual ranking of 100 “company leaders who support women in business.”
Another man who appears to be lauded as a better ‘women’ than the actual ones is Bobbi Pickard, a senior project manager at energy giant BP. Pickard is founder of lobby group ‘TransintheCity’. In 2022, Pickard gave the closing keynote at the Institute of Government’s “Advancing Women in the Workplace Event” – an event aimed at “addressing the most pressing issues for female professionals in the workplace”.
For International Women’s Day in 2022, Pickard was featured in the Charity Times international list of “Women Making a Difference” in the charity sector, and also made an appearance in The Guardian’s Lesbian Visibility Week list.
In October 2023, 26-year-old trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who had only come out as trans online 560 days previously, was named UK magazine Attitude’s first-ever “Woman of the Year”. Mulvaney was dressed in a feathery white shoulderless gown, with a braided hair crown set against a pink cover.

In 2017, 17-year-old Lily Madigan was elected as Women’s Officer for the Labour Party branch in Rochester and Strood in Kent, despite being male and having only recently declared themselves to be transgender.
The same thing is happening in the literary world. Torrey Peters became the first ever trans person, in 2021, to be a finalist in the Women’s Prize for Fiction – created to redress the balance in the male-dominated world of publishing.
Then there are the jobs set aside for women – but taken by men. Transwoman Mridul Wadhwa was appointed CEO of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre in May 2021 – a job advertised as reserved for ‘women only’ because of the sensitive nature of overseeing a service for female victims of male sexual violence.
Wadhwa, a trans rights activist who has no Gender Recognition Certificate, was listed on an all-woman candidate list in the 2021 Scottish Parliament election, despite the fact that the Sex Discrimination (Election Candidates) Act, 2002, in which – because women would be constantly overlooked for promotion – women-only shortlists were reluctantly put in place in a bid to redress the balance between men and women, and enable more women to participate in political life.
Incredibly, even the Women’s Institute appears to have capitulated to this madness. In July 2021, 74-year-old Petra Wenham became the first transwoman to appear on the cover of WI Life, the Women’s Institute magazine.

And whilst Bergdorf has been declared as a ‘UK champion for the empowerment of women’ actual women are losing prizes, jobs, political positions, and places on Olympic teams to men that claim to be the opposite sex.
It used to be perfectly legal to discriminate against women in the workplace and in the world at large, and thanks to the strenuous efforts of feminist activists and lawyers, safeguards were put in place to prevent this from happening. Then, just as this legislation was starting to have an effect, with companies becoming wary of being taken to court for sex discrimination – along comes transactivism and men deciding they make the best women.
Sometimes I think we’ve come full circle, but it’s actually worse than that, because – thanks to the success of trans ideology – not only have all these companies (and “Diversity and Inclusion” award bodies) been convinced that men can become women, but we’ve also lost rights – in sport and in women-only spaces like toilets and changing rooms and prisons and hospitals – that had always been taken for granted. And to add insult to injury, women are punished severely for saying out loud that men can't be women – whereas men win awards and other accolades for claiming that they are.
The caption “Philip ‘Banker’ Bunce, looking like a right plonker” genuinely made me laugh out loud. Love how you mix brilliant one-liners into serious commentary.
It's amazing that Munroe Bergdorf can be declared a champion for empowering women. He's only a champion of empowering women to shut up or face his narcissistic wrath. Same goes for the other coq en froq mentioned in this piece.
