(LifeSiteNews) — An “8 incredible Canadian women” list published by ELLE Canadamagazine features two gender-confused men.
In an August 19 article, woke fashion magazine ELLE Canada unveiled their list of “8 incredible Canadian women,” which featured two gender-confused men, saying the pair are “paving the way for those behind them.”
“At the core, every medium of art allows me to not only know and love myself better but also make connections with others,” one of the men, Vivek Shraya, told the magazine. “I find being a human to be a lonely experience, and making art and sharing it helps lessen the loneliness.”
Shraya, a biological male, is a musician, writer, actor and artist who aspires to be the “world’s first trans, brown Madonna.” Last year, he created a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) online series about his failure as a pop star in Canada.
“She’s an ELLE girl,” he posted on Instagram, celebrating being named an “incredible woman.”
Similarly, the other man on the list, known as Fae Johnstone – an LGBT activist who has previously been photographed wearing a shirt that pictured a knife with the words, “Protect Trans Kids” – also celebrated his appearance on the list.
“Absolutely honoured to be included in the September issue of Elle Magazine as one of ‘Eight incredible Canadian women’ who ‘have broken the glass ceiling, paving the way for those behind them,” Johnstone wrote on X.
The article was met with significant backlash, ultimately leading ELLE Canada to change the title from “8 Incredible Canadian Women” to “These Incredible Canadians Have Broken The Glass Ceiling.”
In addition to changing the title, the article removed Ontario MPP Sarah Jama, who was ousted from the far-left New Democratic Party (NDP) last year for criticizing Israel in the aftermath of the October 7 attack by Hamas.
