J.K. Rowling has accused Glamour Magazine of “telling girls that men are better women than they are” after the publication named nine male trans activists its “Women of the Year”, including one who called the Suffragettes “white supremacists”. The Mail has the story.

The Harry Potter author, 60, who has been outspoken against transgender rights, took to social media to complain about the event, billed to celebrate “the world’s most extraordinary women — trailblazers, rule breakers, visionaries, and champions”.

Sharing a picture of the nine women, Ms Rowling wrote: “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 honourees include Munroe Bergdorf, a controversial activist who once branded “all white people racist” and said that the Suffragettes were “white supremacists”.

Last year he was named the first “UK champion” for UN Women UK and was previously the first ever trans ‘woman’ to model for L’Oreal.

However, he was fired by the beauty giant in 2017 for his inflammatory remarks on race.

The activist, who is also a broadcaster and contributing editor at British Vogue, faced a backlash over his online post responding to the violence of white supremacists in Charlottesville, in which he said all white people were racist.

He was also forced to apologise after old social media messages emerged in which he labelled a Twitter follower a “hairy barren lesbian” in 2012 and said he wanted to “gay bash” a TV star.
