Glamour Magazine Honors Transgender Model Geena Rocero as a Woman of the Year
On November 1st, the magazine announced the author’s appearance on their list. Rocero was one of the six women awarded with the honor.
According to the magazine’s social media post, Rocero also became the first trans individual ambassador for Miss Universe Nepal in 2020 and the first trans Asian-Pacific Islander to be named Playboy magazine’s Playmate of the Year in 2019.
“She’s also advocated for trans rights at the White House, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum, and in her native Philippines,” the Instagram caption continued. “Still, Rocero says we have a long way to go.”
Glamour started receiving backlash on their comment section due to the choice of “putting a biological male on the Women of the Year list.”
One user criticized the magazine and said that they are “actively participating in and promoting female erasure, men pretending to be women are men. You are on the wrong side of history. Shame on you.”
Dylan Mulvaney is another male-born transgender who received a “Woman of the Year Award” this year.
Mulvaney’s award came from Virgin Atlantic’s Attitude magazine.

Controversy Surrounding the Recognition
The inclusion of transgender individuals in women-centric honors and awards has sparked debates and controversies in recent years. While some applaud the recognition as a step towards inclusivity and acceptance, others argue that it undermines the achievements and experiences of cisgender women.
Those against the inclusion of transgender women argue that biological differences between cisgender and transgender women cannot be ignored. They believe that women’s spaces and achievements should be exclusive to those who were assigned female at birth.
On the other hand, advocates for transgender rights argue that transgender women should be recognized as women and have access to the same opportunities and recognition. They believe that gender identity should take precedence over biological sex.
The debate surrounding transgender inclusivity is not limited to awards and honors. It extends to various aspects of society, including sports, public restrooms, and healthcare. While progress has been made in terms of transgender rights and acceptance, there is still a long way to go in achieving true equality and understanding.
The Importance of Representation
Supporters of transgender inclusion argue that representation is crucial for marginalized communities. By honoring transgender individuals as women or including them in women-centric spaces, society acknowledges their existence and validates their identities.
Representation also plays a vital role in breaking down stereotypes and preconceived notions. By highlighting successful transgender women, like Geena Rocero and Dylan Mulvaney, society can challenge stereotypes and encourage acceptance and understanding.
Moreover, recognition can serve as inspiration and empowerment for transgender individuals who may face discrimination and prejudice on a daily basis. Seeing people like them being celebrated and honored can provide hope and encouragement.
Moving Forward
The recognition of transgender individuals as women in prestigious awards and honors reflects changing attitudes towards gender identity and inclusivity. It signifies a shift towards a more accepting and diverse society.
However, it is important to continue the dialogue and address the concerns of those who oppose transgender inclusion. Open and respectful conversations can help bridge the gap and create a more inclusive space for all individuals.
Ultimately, the recognition of transgender individuals as women is a matter of personal belief and values. Society must navigate the complexities of gender identity while striving for equality and understanding.
As we move forward, it is essential to respect and validate the experiences and identities of all individuals, regardless of their gender identity or biological sex. Only through inclusivity and empathy can we build a truly equitable society for all.
