A GB News guest has issued a stark warning to Glamour magazine after nine biological men were crowned “Women of the Year”.
The annual award attracted a surmountable amount of criticism, with JK Rowling leading the charge, claiming that the move elevates men over women, with only trans winners gracing the special edition’s front page.
But Ms Rowling hit out at the wider message behind the cover too, questioning what sort of meaning will be picked up by young women and girls.
She said: “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.”

What an insult to women. We’re tired of media privileging men. Same old. Stop this unfair and purposeful, unscientific demeaning of biological women. J.K. Rowling is correct!
