A woman has missed out on the award for the sake of appeasing a man’s fantasy.

The gaslighting and misogyny never ends in Australia. A man has been awarded “Sydney Woman of the Year.”

Alex Grenwich continues to make a mockery of the word 'woman' while displaying an arrogant contempt toward women who deserved the award.

Sydney MP Alex Greenwich announced Ms Skinner as his award winner as he hailed her as a 'proud transgender woman and a fierce advocate for equality and her communities'.

'I first met with Brianna in 2014, with her now wife Nuna, after she contacted my office to raise concerns about people in NSW being unable to change their gender on identification documents such as birth and marriage certificates,' the independent MP wrote.

'Brianna's own experience of transitioning from male to female highlighted to her the discrimination and bureaucratic discrepancies that outdated NSW laws imposed on trans and gender diverse people.

'This important conversation contributed to the foundation of what would become my Equality Bill.'

If Skinner is so impressive he should be awarded in a male or mixed category. He is not a woman. 

By giving this award to a man, deserving women have missed out, once again to play second fiddle to a man.

Outspoken commentator Prue MacSween described it as another exercise of virtue signalling.

'There’s no doubt this person is a trailblazer, however, I would say that most women would find this award incredibly offensive,' she told Daily Mail Australia.

'This is yet another exercise of virtue signalling by (Sydney Lord Mayor) Clover Moore, Alex Greenwich and the usual suspects. 

'It has provided these devotees with the perfect opportunity to wave the flag. 

'But what it does is make a joke of this particular award category which is to honour women and reinforces the fact that women are again having to fight for their rights - we are modern day suffering suffragettes.'.

Men in woman-face are not women, they are making a mockery of women. 

It is incredible that there are elected NSW politicians who have no qualms about sacrificing women’s rights and denying science in order to make a bloke feel better about himself.

This award deserves to go to a woman, not a man wearing a costume who may have taken a few drugs to mimic the female sex.
