Model Quits Lingerie Company Over Ad Featuring ‘Non-Binary’ Man

Breitbart: Bri Teresi, an Instagram influencer and model, said she’s cutting ties with the prominent lingerie company Honey Birdette after it employed a “non-binary” man in one of its advertisements.

Earlier this month, Honey Birdette joined in the trend of allowing biological males to advertise women’s clothing by displaying model Jake DuPree, who identifies as “non-binary,” in a bra and panty set even though the company’s tagline has often been “By women, For women.”

Honey Birdette blocked me. I guess this “By Women For Women” lingerie brand is not for women’s voices. They aren’t just recruiting men to pose in their lingerie, but now they block women for speaking their minds. This is what hypocrisy looks like. Go woke Go broke!! pic.twitter.com/F89DpbDz2K

“With so much hatred and vitriol toward trans and non-binary people, it’s important to not only be visible and proud but also fight for our safety and lives,” DuPree said on Instagram. “Every trans and gender non-conforming person has the right to live to the fullest and be happy! We deserve to be recognized, respected, and valued. The fight will never stop to make sure we are all included in spaces that we have not typically been included.

In the comment section for Honey Birdette’s Instagram post announcing the ad, which has since been disabled, Teresi, who modeled for the lingerie company in the past, wrote that she was, “sad to see you guys jumping on the woke bandwagon!”

“Once again, another thing taken over by men. Know your audience!” said Teresi. [She] later told Outkick that she indeed dropped the brand for good.

“Yes it’s true. I will no longer be working with the brand” said Teresi. “The only way to stop this nonsense and propaganda is to not support businesses that do not support our values. It’s that simple!

“As a model I can tell you that an actual woman has been robbed of a place because of a deluded diversity handout. That’s pure misogyny. Now more than ever, we must support businesses that support our values.

“Go woke, go broke,” she added.
