A transgender woman who was chosen by a UN charity to symbolize English women once yelled, “All white people are prejudiced,” and labeled feminist pioneers “white supremacists.”
Questionable Munroe Bergdorf, 36, was chosen as the UN Women UK’s second “UK champion,” which infuriated 17 campaign groups that claimed she was “unsuitable in every regard” for the position.
L’Oreal fired Ms. Bergdorf in 2017 for her divisive comments on race, which she afterwards used to try to incite Cheryl Tweedy, a pop star and fellow plastic giant ambassador, into the ensuing controversy.
The advocate, who also serves as a journalist and contributing writer for British Vogue, received criticism for her online statement that all white folks were prejudiced in response to the assault of white supremacists in Charlottesville.
She was even compelled to apologize after old social media messages in which she called suffragettes “light supremacists” and “gay bash” a TV star in 2012 were posted. She also called Twitter followers “hairy barren lesbians.”
Following the internet uproar over her remarks, Ms. Bergdorf, who after enjoyed posing for pictures with former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, resigned from her position on the group’s LGBT+ advisory board.
Sincerely, I don’t have the energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any longer, Ms. Bergdorf wrote in her outburst regarding the violence at Charlottesville. Well, everyone is light.
Because the majority of you are either unaware of or unwilling to acknowledge that your life, opportunity, and success as a race are based on the sacrifices, bloodshed, or deaths of people of color. Your entire life has been soaked in prejudice.
When she was chosen as part of a variety effort, she had been the first transgender girl to participate in an L’Oreal Paris UK campaign. However, her net tirade caused her to be fired by the business, which terminated her deal after claiming she disagreed with their beliefs of “diversity” and “compassion.”
After being fired, the enraged type turned her attention to Fight For This Love hitmaker Cheryl, a other ambassador for the aesthetic behemoth.
Given that her co-star was not fired for her 2003 argument with a bathroom attendant, which was allegedly ethnically aggravated at the time but was completely dismissed in court, Ms. Bergdorf argued that she should not be fired.
In reference to Cheryl Cole’s court case, she spoke to BBC after the argument and said that she shouldn’t be fired for calling out racism when she was found guilty of actively punching a black woman in the face.
She said, “I shouldn’t be fired for calling out racism when I was in a campaign that was meant to support diversity,” in her exact words.
They have Cheryl Cole on the campaign trail, and she was constantly found guilty of punching a black woman in the face, particularly when I was talking about white people’s violence.
Cheryl received a 120-hour unpaid community service sentence after being found guilty of assault causing actual bodily harm (ABH). But, claims that the battle was motivated by racism were disproved in court.
More than 14 years previously, Cheryl was universally exonerated of the cost of culturally aggravated assault, according to a member for the company who spoke with MailOnline at the time. She is dissatisfied that Munroe Bergdorf mentioned her in the media meeting.
In order to assist Dawn Butler, the group’s people and equalities minister, with problems pertaining to the LBGT+ area, Ms. Bergdorf was appointed as a Labour Party assistant five months after the discussion.
However, the visit received widespread criticism and resulted in her resignation from the position just nine days later.
It is with great grief that I have decided to step down from the place, she said in a statement posted on Twitter, then known as X.
She claimed that since word of her visit broke, there have been “unending attacks on my character” that have forced her to resign.
She continued, “I won’t allow myself to be at the center of this negative narrative, and more importantly, I’m not going to get in the way of the board acting as a positive catalyst for change among the LGBT communities in Britain.”
Trans advocate and type Ms. Bergdorf was born as Ian and worked as a DJ.
She started living as a person at the age of 18, but in 2014, her doctor prescribed hormone to her.
Travel see me when you realize that racism isn’t learned, it’s inherited and consciously or unconsciously passed down through pleasure, she added during her lengthy Twitter rant in 2017 in which she labeled all white folks racist.
We can speak when white people start to acknowledge that their race is the most harsh and oppressive force on Earth.
“Be acting shocked about how the earth continues to be f***** at the hands of your grandparents and your mind that remain buried in the sand with arms over your lips until next.”
In a statement released in March 2018 in honor of the 100th anniversary of women’s voting rights, she also referred to the suffragettes as “white supremacists.”
FYI-The Suffragists were white supremacists who fought for Bright women’s rights; they especially excluded black women from the movement, she wrote.
It has been 100 years since Light women were granted the right to vote, not 100% since women first received it. Voting was not permitted for Dark people until MUCH afterwards.
Additionally, she has written online that queer Conservatives are a particular kind of d**khead. It’s really pretty incredible.
In November, Ms. Bergdorf was named UN Women UK Champion. In November, the function will support efforts to enhance the lives of women and girls.
But, after she was appointed, 17 advocacy organizations—including Transgender Trend, Fair Play for Women, Sexual Matters, and the Women’s Rights Network—signed a joint letter expressing their “dismay and sadness” at the choice.
They referred to her as “unsuitable in every way” and cited her reported prior social media posts that were “homophobic and racist.”
The organizations stated in the letter that Munroe Bergdorf’s well-publicized activism is no pro-women. This individual has objected to girls mentioning our female body.
It was “rare” that “we get to see transgender people have a seat or voice at these furniture,” according to Ms. Bergdorf, who added that her nomination wasn’t something she “took lightly.” UN Women UK and Ms. Bergdorf were contacted for opinion.
