“As we celebrate 100 years since women have been able to vote in the UK, let’s make sure we’re fighting for ALL women. Our diversity is our strength.”

She also lashed out at Twitter boss Jack Dorsey for the social media platform’s inaction regarding transphobic rhetoric directed at her in the wake of her inclusion on Vogue’s cover, reports BBC.

Look how far we’ve come. It’s insane that I could be in Vogue. A trans kid from a council estate. People at school told me I’d never be a girl, would never be pretty enough, would never be accepted WELL HERE I AM BEING CELEBRATED AS A WOMAN – IN VOGUE FFS!https://t.co/Wsd84E84bI

“I don’t let these people get to me and I’d have crumbled a long time ago if I did but I do encourage anyone who sees people making these discriminatory, hateful, hurtful comments on here to report it to Twitter. It’s about time @jack started taking anti trans hate crime seriously.”

Lees cited the story of trans women April Ashley and Caroline Cossey who both posed for Vogue in 80s, before being outed as trans. “All my life people have told me I’m not a woman,” concluded Lees’ Tweet.

“Thank God times are changing.”
