This is for all my trans friends and cisgender women friends that are average or plus sized rather than support the bigoted Victoria Secret

Fantasy can be whatever you want it to be and if that intentionally doesn't include trans women, then that's your prejudice talking. The reality is that trans women are desired by many, to suggest otherwise is shortsighted and without doubt transphobic.

Victoria’s Secret is that she’s transphobic and hates fat people. https://t.co/NTRrrGCjsu

Listen to how angry these feminists are that Victoria Secret models are hot, skinny, and.......women.https://t.co/4Nxz93fJQO

It's Victoria's Secret not Victor's Secret.

Good. It's, their brand, their choice. People don't think "Victoria's Secret" and think of bearded ladies (Like the one that won a pageant earlier) or those on the more plush size (Which can be nice too) let alone dead-of-heart-attack-by-40 size. They're fit healthy women.

The Victoria’s Secret brand hopes to showcase a ‘transgender’ biological man in women’s underwear, says Ed Razek, the brand’s chief marketing officer.

Razek’s statement came after progressives and transgender activists rallied on social media to complain he was excluding men who live as women from the brand’s glitzy idealization of women’s sexual power.

Razek - Dispute - Vogue - Company - Fashion

Razek sparked the dispute when he told Vogue that the company uses different fashion shows and different brands to target different groups of women:

I think we address the way the market is shifting on a constant basis. If you’re asking if we’ve … looked at putting a plus-size model in the show, we have. We invented the plus-size model show in what was our sister division, Lane Bryant. Lane Bryant still sells plus-size lingerie, but it sells a specific range, just like every specialty retailer in the world sells a range of clothing. As do we. We market to who we sell to, and we don’t market to the whole world.

Company - Media - Pressure - Brand - Glamor

But the company is under constant social media pressure to weaken the hugely valuable brand by sharing its feminine glamor with non-targeted groups, he said. “The hate that’s on social media, it’s extraordinarily toxic … Where does it end?” he said, adding:

So it’s like, why don’t you do [size] 50? Why don’t you do [size] 60? Why don’t you do [size] 24? It’s like, why doesn’t your show do this? Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don’t think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy. It’s a 42-minute entertainment special. That’s what it is. It is the only one of its kind in the world, and any other fashion brand in the world would take it in a minute, including the competitors that are carping at us. And they carp at...
