Natural disasters around the globe and now a war between Isreal and Palestine and instead of posting about how these issues impact women UN Women focuses on men in dresses and then doubles down when called out.
By Shay Woulahan. October 8, 2023
The official account for United Nations Women is under fire after posting in celebration of “trans lesbians” despite having released no formal statement condemning the violence against women in war-torn Israel. The posts, of which two were made on October 8, were intended to celebrate “International Lesbian Day.”
In the first post made to X (formerly Twitter), UN Women stated that there was “no one way to be a lesbian or express womanhood,” leaving many users confused as to the underlying meaning.
“There is only one way to be a lesbian,” one user wrote. “To be a female exclusively attracted to other females. And there is only one way to express womanhood — to be an adult human female,” user @OneSmallVoice wrote.
“Nah, there’s only one way to be either,” another user responded.
After hundreds of negative replies, UN Women made a second post hours later in an apparent effort to double-down on their narrative.
“Remember, trans lesbians are lesbians too,” the post read. “Let’s uplift and honor EVERY expression of love and identity!” The post was accompanied by an image reiterating “trans lesbians are lesbians.”
Tumblr media
Immediately, UN Women was hit with a storm of backlash from users who called the post “homophobic” and “rapey.”
Giggle Founder Sall Grover said the notice was “anti-lesbian,” stating: “Men aren’t lesbians. Deal with it.”

Another top reply on the post, written by UK-based safeguarding group Safe Schools Alliance, accused UN Women of propagating rape culture.
“You are a disgrace. Delete this tweet, then delete your account. How DARE you contribute to the #RapeCulture women & girls suffer, from childhood, worldwide. Stand down & let people who know #SexMatters advocate for women & girls including our lesbian sisters.”
Other advocates that fight for women’s sex-based rights similarly called out UN Women, with many noting that the organization has yet to release an official statement condemning the brutality committed against women in Israel.
On October 7, Hamas militants launched a surprise offensive on Israel, targeting civilian areas with violence. Almost immediately, horrific videos began to circulate on social media showing the Islamic soldiers kidnapping and brutalizing women. In one of the most shocking pieces of footage, Hamas militants were seen parading around the corpse of a woman now identified as a German-Israeli civilian who had been in the region to attend a pro-peace festival.
As of the writing of this article, over 700 people in Israel have been confirmed dead and over 2000 are injured. In Gaza, the Palestinian Health Ministry has reported 370 dead, with over 2200 injured. Over 100 people have been taken as hostages by Hamas, a great number of them are women and children.
Jewish journalist Eve Barlow pointed out that despite making time to advocate for “trans lesbians,” UN Women hasn’t discussed the violence committed in Israel against females.
“@UN_Women has not issued a single tweet from their account about the crimes committed against Israel’s women. One [repost] on the subject, one tweet about Afghanistan and two about #LesbianDay. Jewish women deserve your advocacy,” stated journalist and activist Eve Barlow.
This is not the first time UN Women and the United Nations has promoted gender ideology at the expense of women. UN Women has a well-established history of calling for all nations to allow men to be able to self-declare their legal sex as female.

“Trans women have the right to recognition of their self-identified gender – but in most countries, this is not available or subject to abusive restrictions,” UN Women posted in June.
This was blasted by British Member of Parliament Rosie Duffield who responded to the organization’s statement.
“No, this is not a universally accepted ‘right’ at all. And as a Member of Parliament in England, I will continue to work with other legislators to stop self-id from destroying women’s rights – rights to sport, single sex spaces, same-sex medical care.”
On International Women’s Day in 2020, UN Women endorsed a statement made by a trans-identified male in which he referred to women as “formless.” The man being celebrated by UN Women, model Aaron Philip, bragged about being platformed by the United Nations and referred to women who protested as “TERFs.”

A Better Way By Traci Van Wagoner I’m one small voice. What can I do to make this world a better place? I’m just little insignificant me, a voiceless peon standing against wealth, power, hypocrisy. Hate. One small voice. Lost. Afraid. But not alone. No, I am not alone in the struggle. I cannot hide in my cave, quiet, hidden. . . . Safe? Not safe. Not while the world is busting apart at the rivets. When walls rise between us. When truth, the way of peace, happiness is wavering, Lost in a sea of chaos, storms, rantings, ravings. Come out of hiding. Each small voice joins with others. Come out of hiding. Learn from our bloody past. Stand up. Stop the tide. Come out of hiding. Small voices together grow louder. Stand our ground. Black. White. Red. Yellow. Green. Purple. Or Blue! Speak the truth. Speak our hearts. Join together around the world. A multitude of small voices. ROAR! Bust through Hate. The future will be. We can make it shine with hope. Hope binds us together as humans. Bust through Hate. Look to the future. Join hands and stand against ignorance. Listen. Care. We CAN make this world a better place. We can. We must. Let’s bust through hate. And find . . . . Empathy. Love. A better way. #visiblewomen #lovemorehateless #bustinguphate #bustthroughhate #lovemore #empathy #bookillustration #poem #poetry #onesmallvoice #art #sundaymotivation #motivation #together #raiseourvoices #maketheworldabetterplace #jointogether #abetterway https://www.instagram.com/p/BujHrb5npCI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hvw9rwlekz40
