Transgender model Hari Nef appeared on the cover of Elle U.K.’s August issue and had some choice words to share about Caitlyn Jenner’s infamous Republican views.
Nef, 23, didn’t hold back when calling into question Jenner’s political stances.
“The question I have for Caitlyn is what does being a woman mean to you?,” Nef told Elle U.K. “I don’t feel that my politics are separable from my femininity, so dear Caitlyn, from where do you source your femininity?”
“As a woman,” Nef continued, “who is your community of women? Are the women from income houses who are disenfranchised by Republican politics–are those women your women? Are the women who have ovaries and wombs and who can’t get access to essential reproductive healthcare–are those women your women? Are the immigrant women who would get deported under a Republican administration–are those your women?”
Nef has already made career milestones such as walking for Gucci at Milan Fashion Week and appearing in the latest season of “Transparent.” Jenner will also guest-star in the upcoming season of the Amazon Prime show.
