Biological men walked the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway Oct. 15 and someone needs to explain how this was permitted.
After facing backlash for their lack of inclusivity, the world’s most prominent lingerie brand rose from the ashes of its 2018 cancellation and brought back their legendary fashion show. Their idea of being inclusive was to put two biological men on stage — a move that proved to be an epic fail for many fans. The brand has always sold a sexy dream to women that idolize the models and want to buy the lingerie they’re selling, and to heterosexual men that are drawn to the sex appeal of it all. Neither of those audiences want to see a transgender runway model.
.@CNN just did a report about the @VictoriasSecret show without noting trans models. Why miss chance to celebrate historic “first”? Because the public does not like men in lingerie outside the fetish world — and because CNN wants to “normalize” it. https://t.co/NPHJFC3YoY

The 2024 runway show had a lot of good things going for it, including a slew of sexy, legendary supermodels strutting their stuff on the catwalk, and an epic performance by Cher. However, there were two glaring mistakes that fans just can’t see past: transgender models Alex Consani and Valentina Sampaio.

Victoria’s Secret is the most recent brand to fall victim to demands of inclusivity where such examples simply need not exist. When did it become a requirement for a lingerie brand to appeal to the trans community? It’s way too far a stretch for the woke community to throw men on stage in women’s clothing and expect the world to embrace this simply as a sign of the times.
With Valentina Sampaio and Alex Consani making history last night as the first trans models to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, I wrote a quick short history of trans models and the brand for @them.
From Valentina to Honey Dijon and Ceval.https://t.co/YBa6sJzD8P

Heterosexual men don’t want to see biological men in bodysuits and heels on the Victoria’s Secret runway. Women shopping for their next set of lingerie won’t be oogling at the trans woman thinking “gosh I want to look like that too.”
Simply put, the brand missed the mark with their two top target audiences.
Playboy, Sports Illustrated, Victories Secret…🤣🤣🤣 There isn’t a heterosexual MAN on the planet who wouldn’t wretch if they saw that. It is the final nail in their woke coffins.

There’s a playground for transgender women to play in, but the Victoria’s Secret runway show simply isn’t it. (RELATED: World’s Top Supermodels Strutted Their Stuff In Epic Victoria’s Secret Comeback)
This may be a “win” in the eyes of the trans community, but what they’ve really stamped in history here is a reminder that they’ve pissed people off.
Victoria’s Secret sells a beauty brand. This isn’t the place for wokeness.
