Model Munroe Bergdorf has said ‘a lot of true activists are silenced online’ because social media platforms ‘allows them to trolled’ in a glamorous new cover interview.

The transgender activist, 34, sported an all black ensemble and waist-length blonde braids as she appeared on the cover of Hunger Magazine in a stunning photo shoot shot by celebrity photographers Jordan Rossi and Rankin.

The cover girl – who often speaks on LGBTQ+ and racial justice issues – added that ‘we’re seeing systemic misogyny crop up more and more’ and that she wants ‘young trans people to  focus on what they want to do in the world’.   

‘It’s important to look at all kinds of women,’ she told the magazine.

‘A lot of true activists’ voices are also silenced online, so the way that we have these conversations as activists are becoming less and less radical just because of what the platform allows.

‘This [International Women’s Day] is a good opportunity for us all to plug into difference and to recognise how broad the experience of being a woman can be.

‘We’re seeing systemic misogyny crop up more and more as we’re examining institutions like the police force and work cultures, thanks to the Me Too movement… 

‘But IWD is also a great reminder for us to come together as a celebration as well, and not to just talk about the bad stuff,’ she added.

Munroe was shot by photographer Jordan Rossi and directed by Rankin. The model shot a six page photo editorial story and captured for the digital cover.

‘We need to make sure that we seize the opportunity to inform and educate each other every day’.

The activist added that she feels like her generation of trans people and ones before ‘have had to break down so many doors just to be seen’.  

‘Now the cat is well and truly out of the bag. People know that we exist, so visibility is no longer enough. 

‘I want young trans people to focus on what they want to do in the world — what are their hopes and dreams? 

‘It’s easy to say that you shouldn’t let your identity hinder your dreams, but exercise self-belief. You’ve got enough people against you, it’s really important to be on your own side’

Munroe also shot a black and white image, where she sported patchwork monochrome trousers and a crop top.
