Maxim Names Transgender Woman to 'Hot 100' List, Sparking Outrage
Newsweek ^ | Oct 19, 2023 | Matthew Impelli

Many social media users were outraged by Maxim Australia's "Hot 100" list after it included a transgender woman.

"Welcome to the 2023 Ultra Tune MAXIM HOT 100 – our annual, eclectic and definitive list of Australian women who have impressed, made headlines or simply had a huge year. The past 12 months saw an abundance of fine and fierce femmes who have wowed us with their aptitude, intellect, humour, attributes and overall incredible talents," Maxim Australia Editor-in-Chief Santi Pintado said in a statement announcing the list.

In the 92nd spot on the list, Maxim Australia included Dani Laidley, a transgender woman. Laidley was a coach in the Australian Football League before transitioning in 2020.

Laidley's inclusion on the list sparked criticism from many social media users.

"#92 of top 100 hottest 'women' in the world according to Maxim magazine in Australia," former college Division I swimmer, Riley Gaines, wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "How did we get to a point where companies/institutions/publications can do this with no fear of backlash?"

Conservatives have spoken out against LGBTQ+ and transgender individuals this year, with Bud Light facing a boycott after partnering with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender activist and influencer. In the U.S., Republican state leaders have sought to ban gender-affirming medical care for minors. In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation that barred transgender women from competing in female sports.

A number of other social media users criticized Maxim Australia this week, such as the Libs of TikTok X account, which said: "Beyond parody. This male just won a spot on the top "Hottest 100 Women" list. They're mocking us."

I am very disappointed! And that’s because I nominated my favorite jigsaw puzzle to be on that "Hot 100" list. After all, my puzzle is as much a real woman as Dani Laidley is.

Yet Laidley won, and my jigsaw puzzle lost. The fix was in, I guess.

“No such animal as a “transgender woman”. Idiots.”

You took the words right out of my mouth.

TBH - I am very concerned about the next 20 years - I know old people have always been “kids today,” but isn’t it different *this* time??? This feels more - serious and the seams are popping and the stuffing is coming out.

Didn’t even know MAXIM was still published. I suppose this lack of publicity weighed in on their decision for this outrageous perversion - bad publicity is at least publicity.

I’m sure there are some Maxim readers who find her really inspirational.

Regarding this entire LGBQXYZ lifestyle taking hold in American society, right down to our little children, I have to say, that’s some sick effing 5h it and evil to its core.
