<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/glamour">Glamour Magazine</a> Brazil announced the winners of their Generation Glamour awards this week, and the roundup of honorees featured two biological men, including an influencer named Linn da Quebrada, who brought home “Woman of the Year.”
Quebrada does not <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">identify as a woman</a> the way many trans-identifying men do. “I’m not a woman, I’m a transvestite,” he told Globo Television Network presenter Pedro Bial, <a href="https://reduxx.info/glamour-brazil-awards-male-influencer-woman-of-the-year/">according</a> to Reduxx. “Let’s be honest, there’s no such thing as ‘a woman.&#8217;”
The prize winner justified his stance by listing several Portuguese words that have ambiguous or subjective meanings, which he believes is also true of the word “woman.”
Quebrada identifies as a gay man or a transvestite, a commonly used term in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/brazil">Brazil</a> to describe men who dress like women but do not identify as women, according to Reduxx. The influencer became famous after appearing on “Big Brother Brazil.” 
He also participated in a photo shoot using a prosthetic pregnant belly, saying he dreamed of getting pregnant and becoming a mother one day, according to an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CdT1UnIF9VN/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=5b08781b-b4eb-4b6d-a129-53cd0dacd1a5">post</a>. He has almost 3 million followers on the platform.
Giovanna Heliodoro was the other male winner, taking home Glamour‘s “Woman Influencer with a Cause” award. Heliodoro identifies as a “feminist black trans woman,” Reduxx noted, and is known for being a trans rights advocate in Brazil. 
Quebrada and Heliodoro aren’t the first men to be honored as the best women. In 2015, Glamour Magazine named Caitlyn Jenner their Woman of the Year for working as a &#8220;trans champion.&#8221; In March of this year, USA TODAY <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/usa-today-names-women-of-the-year-heres-one-of-them">announced</a> that one of their “Women of the Year” was the Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services, Rachel Levine, who is also a man.
In July, the University of Pennsylvania <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/upenn-taps-transgender-swimmer-lia-thomas-for-ncaa-woman-of-the-year-award">nominated</a> transgender-identifying swimmer Lia Thomas for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year award. Influencer Dylan Mulvaney was invited to the White House to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-slammed-over-trans-remarks-democrats-are-officially-and-proudly-pro-mutilation-for-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speak</a> with President Joe Biden. 
Mulvaney, a male, doesn’t even identify as a woman, choosing instead to embrace “girlhood” with the popular “Days of Girlhood” series on TikTok which Biden claims to have watched. Like Glamour Brazil’s new “Woman of the Year,” the 25-year-old social media star also claims to want to become a mother one day.

A NYPD officer whose wife was posthumously <a href="http://www.itv.com/news/2015-11-16/husband-of-hero-911-cop-returns-wifes-woman-of-the-year-award-after-caitlyn-jenner-given-same-prize/">honored</a> with Glamour Magazine’s Woman of the Year award in December of 2001 returned the award in light of Glamour Magazine naming Caitlyn Jenner (formally the Olympic decathlon gold-medal recipient, Bruce Jenner, and now “Keeping up with the Kardashians” and “I Am Cait” reality star) as Woman of the Year this past month.
Officer Moira Smith died on that fateful day in September fourteen years ago when she was heroically running back and forth into one of the Twin Towers, in effort to save as many trapped people as possible. Her husband took the award on behalf of his courageous and self-sacrificing deceased wife.
But now James Smith, Moira’s husband and a fellow NYDP officer, has returned the award.
Smith called Glamour’s actions “insulting” and a “slap in the face” to his wife who received the same award fourteen years ago. He posted his outrage on Facebook: “At a time when we have women in the armed forces fighting and dying for our country, heroic doctors fighting deadly diseases, women police officers and firefighters putting their lives on the line for total strangers, brave women overcoming life threatening diseases…the list of possibilities goes on…is this the best you could do?”
“Is this is the best you can do?” is a question that more than holds water.
Jenner was honored with such an award for enabling his own physiological disease, gender dysmorphia, to be fully expressed. Jenner, who wears a dress and underwent many surgeries, such as receiving breast implants, still has that one appendage which one would think might eliminate Jenner from receiving a “Woman of the Year” award, as well as the biological DNA of a male. By contrast, Moira Smith risked her life to save as many people as possible after the United States was attacked by Islamic extremism. Her tragic death was the result of exceptional valor.
<blockquote>“At a time when we have women in the armed forces fighting and dying for our country, heroic doctors fighting deadly diseases, women police officers and firefighters putting their lives on the line for total strangers, brave women overcoming life threatening diseases…the list of possibilities goes on…is this the best you could do?”

Glamour has since doubled-down for their curious appointment of Jenner; a spokesman for the magazine stated that they “stood by their decision,&#8221; adding of Smith, &#8220;We were proud to honor his wife&#8230; in 2001, and we stand by our decision to honor Caitlyn Jenner. Glamour&#8217;s Women of the Year Awards recognize women with a variety of backgrounds and experiences.”
Yes, women so “varied” that they aren’t even women at all.
Here is the complete letter that James Smith posted to Facebook:
