Model and LGBTQ+ activist Munroe Bergdorf has bravely spoken out about the horrific transphobic abuse she endures, including chilling death threats. In a candid interview, she revealed the emotional and psychological toll of being targeted simply for existing as a trans woman.
'You Want Me Dead'
Bergdorf didn't mince words when addressing her detractors, stating, 'You want me dead because my existence challenges your worldview.' Her powerful statement highlights the dangerous reality many trans individuals face daily.
The Cost of Visibility
As one of Britain's most visible trans public figures, Bergdorf explained how constant online harassment affects her mental health: 'The abuse is relentless. I've had people tell me they want to kill me, rape me, or see me suffer.'
A Call for Change
The activist called for greater protection for trans people and more accountability for those spreading hate: 'This isn't about hurt feelings - it's about our right to live without fear.' Her words come as transphobic hate crimes in the UK continue to rise alarmingly.
Bergdorf's courage in speaking out serves as both a stark reminder of the work still needed for trans equality and an inspiration to others facing similar abuse.
