Transgender Woman Wins ‘Woman of the Year,’ Sparks Debate
Brianna Skinner, a transgender woman, was named 2025 Sydney Local Woman of the Year, igniting controversy. Critics argue she “was not born female,” calling the award “a slap in the face to real women.”
Sydney MP Alex Greenwich praised Skinner as “a fierce advocate for equality” and a hero for saving 40 people during the Bondi Junction stabbing attack.
Supporters highlight her activism, while opponents call it “virtue signaling.” Greenwich defended his choice, saying, “Brianna is one of the strongest people I know.”
