Debra Messing Apologizes for Excluding Trans Women ‘Who Don’t Have a Vagina’ While Celebrating International Women's Day
Actress Debra Messing apologized for excluding trans women “who don’t have a vagina” on International Women’s Day on Friday, after she posted a photo celebrating the occasion with a collection of vagina-shaped cupcakes.
“Happy International Women’s Day! Powerful, beautiful, and sweet,” the Will and Grace star wrote, accompanied by a photo of vagina-themed cupcakes, decorated with different colors, piercings, and even pubic hair.
However, Debra Messing later realized that in posting an image of solely vaginas she had excluded trans women “who don’t have a vagina.”
She later wrote:
Although many trans women undergo surgery to remove their penis and replace it with an artificially constructed vagina, a large number also keep their genital organs intact.

Messing, meanwhile, is well known for her outspoken views on LGBT rights and representation. In May 2017, she even accepted an award from the ‘Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation’ (GLAAD), where she pleaded with President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka to stop her father’s policies on transgender issues.
“You can change the lives of millions of women and children just by telling your dad stories about real people who are suffering,” she declared. “Don’t allow him to make trans kids fight in court for their basic human dignity.”
