Only the second ever
The Glinner Update leads with one of those Women of the Year items.
Monday 21st December – Even A List Of Women Isn’t Just For Women
THE TIMES: The paper’s 50 Women of the Year list was published.
It included three males.
Imagine a 50 BAME or Black People of the Year that included three white people.
The first was Valentina Sampaio, a transgender model from Brazil who has posed for Victoria Secret and featured in Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue.
The second was High Court judge, Victoria McCloud, who transitioned in the late 1990s. In 2010 McCloud was hailed as only the second ever woman to become Queen’s Bench Master. Though, of course, he wasn’t.
Smile when you steal a women’s only the second ever.
The third trans-identified male on the list was Raquel Willis, a black trans rights activist and writer from the US. Willis is the Director of Communications for the Ms. Foundation, an organisation intended to amplify the voices of women and girls.
Amplify the voices of women and girls and a few men.
It is a wild and crazy world we live in.
Nkechi Amare Diallo aka Rachel Anne Dolezal, a self identified black woman, is a perfect example of what happens when a white person claims a black identity. I don’t recall people standing up for her to live “her true identity”, or claiming she was being “erased”.
