Glamour UK Tells JK Rowling To ‘Stay Mad’ After Outrage Over Its Latest Cover
HuffPost
The magazine doubled down after facing criticism from right wingers and the "Harry Potter" author.
Glamour UK defended its latest cover featuring nine trans women, which struck a nerve among right-wing influencers and “Harry Potter” author JK Rowling.
The magazine cover, revealed Thursday, honors a group of trans women involved in different fields. They are pictured wearing “Protect the Dolls” shirts created by designer Connor Ives to raise funds for charity Trans Lifeline.
The cover story celebrates the magazine’s annual Women of the Year Awards, which it says “shine a light on the importance of celebrating sisterhood and solidarity during a particularly fraught year for women’s rights.”
In addition to trans women, this year’s awards also honored multiple cisgender women, including actors Rachel Zegler and Demi Moore.
The slogan “Protect the Dolls” originated in Black and Latinx 1980s ballroom and drag culture, and is used to express support for trans women. Celebrities including actor Pedro Pascal, singer Troye Sivan and TikTok star-turned-hit-pop artist Addison Rae have worn the slogan in public.
