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.”

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.”

Come hear the moon is calling, The witching hour draws near, Come hear the bell is tolling, Mortals run in fear, Prepare the altar now and hear the virgin cry, Hold fast the sacrifice, For now it's the time to die, All hell breaks loose, Hell's breaking loose

La Mode illustrée, no. 41, 8 octobre 1933, Paris. Pour cet hiver. Toujours le mouvement cape. Ville de Paris / Bibliothèque Forney

Nous restons de plus en plus fidèles à ces petites capes mobiles, ou fixées, si seyantes et si féminines que les couturiers posent souvent sur les robes de crêpe ou de lainage, 1. Un ensemble de crêpe beige, le corsage est orné d'une bande incrustée dans un mouvement torsadé. La cape n'existe que devant, se retourne en revers large devant et forme manche vue de dos; elle est bordée sur les bras de re nard bleu. (Redfern.)

We remain more and more faithful to these petit removable or fixed capes, so becoming and so feminine that designers often place on crepe or woolen dresses, 1. An ensemble in beige crepe, the bodice is decorated with a strip inlaid in a twisted motion. The cape exists only in front, turns into a wide lapel in front and forms a sleeve when seen from the back; it is bordered on the arms with blue fox. (Redfern.)

Animal of the Day!

Shingleback Lizard (Tiliqua rugosa)

(Photo from Los Angeles Zoo)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Australia

Size (Weight/Length)- 45 cm

Diet- Insects; Flowers; Leaves; Carrion

Cool Facts- Upon first glance, you may mistake this lil’ man for a pinecone. The short tail of the shingleback lizard is meant to confuse predators as it closely resembles its head. Once these skinks find a territory, they spend their entire life there with their mate. Being monogamous, shingleback lizards are one of the few reptiles to not only have livebirth instead of eggs but both parents help in caring for the babies. The pair’s offspring will stay relatively close to their parent’s territory and create loose family groups as a result. Their burrows can sometimes interconnect and create massive underground systems of generations of skinks.

Rating- 13/10 (Oh yeah, and their tongue is blue.)

Animtober- Match (Monogamous for life.)
