The husband of a cop killed on 9/11 returned his wife's posthumous Woman of the Year award to Glamour after the magazine gave the same honor last week to Caitlyn Jenner.

James Smith told The Post he yanked the award off the shelf in his Long Island home dedicated to his wife, Moira, and FedExed it back to the magazine.


Moira, who died at the age of 38 after rushing into the south tower, was honored by the magazine a month after her death.

But after Jenner, 66, was anointed last week, Smith told the magazine’s editor, Cindi Leive, to take the award and shove it.

'Was there no woman in America, or the rest of the world, more deserving than this man?' - James Smith on Caitlyn Jenner

"I was shocked and saddened to learn that Glamour has just named Bruce Jenner 'Woman of the Year,'" Smith wrote in his scathing missive, calling the former Olympic track star and Kardashian reality-show patriarch "Bruce Ball-less Jenner."

"Was there no woman in America, or the rest of the world, more deserving than this man?" Smith wrote. "At a time when we have women in the armed forces fighting and dying for our country, heroic doctors fighting deadly diseases, women police and firefighters putting their lives on the line for total strangers, brave women overcoming life threatening diseases . . . the list of possibilities goes on . . . is this the best you could do?"

Jenner was among several others feted at Carnegie Hall last week, including Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon, tennis star Billie Jean King and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

A spokesman for the magazine told The Post that it received Smith's letter and that it stands by its honors.

"We were proud to honor his wife . . . in 2001, and we stand by our decision to honor Caitlyn Jenner," a Glamour spokeswoman said on Saturday. "Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards recognize women with a variety of backgrounds and experiences."

sick Fecks!

i don't blame Mr. Smith at all, if the stupid glamour magazine doesn't know what a woman is, the award is meaningless...

"spokeswoman said on Saturday. "Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards recognize women with a variety of backgrounds and experiences"


Variety of experiences? Like what?

Having a hard on?
Standing to pee?
Jock itch?
Menstrual cramps?
Being a parent of 6 but never giving birth ?

Edited for vulgarity.

GOOD for him!!

CJenner -

The award, very implicitly says 'woman of the year'.

Trannies aren't women.

I do see his point.

It would kind of be like giving a purple heart to someone who 'played a soldier' in a movie,,,


when there are ACTUAL, always been, women,,

passing over them for a doctor created one seems ,,,backwards,,

especially JUST for the decision to have the doctors create her


,,may be different if AFTER a reassignment surgery, the person went on to cure cancer, or ran into a burning orphanage to save children,,,

but merely for having a decision and the resources to have a surgery? nah

Until Jenner gets cut and wills his balls to Oblowme he's still a man... shriveled little rat sack it may be

Even then, unless he creates a way to alter his DNA, he'll STILL be a man.

Holy crap, we actually _agree_ on something!!

I want to see Glamor sponsor (and argue for) a Caitlen Jenner vs Ronda Rousee fight.


They shouldn't have an issue with it....After all its just a fight between "women"

Much better candidates!!

agreed, REAL women doing something that's useful...
