A transgender member of a new UN panel that’s drafting global health rules has a kinky track record in everything from bestiality to bondage, drugs and nudism, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Teddy Cook, a female-to-male trans Australian activist, started work this month on the World Health Organization‘s 20-expert body, drafting care guidelines for trans and non-binary people.
Cook, 45, who describes himself as a ‘professional queer, man of trans experience,’ has a controversial backstory.
He’s advocated for taxpayer-funded surgeries for all trans Australians, and worked on a study about trans people having better sex when they’re high on drugs.
Cook’s social media posts are even more revealing.
He’s posted about everything from public nudity to bondage parties, trans orgies and even a photo of a man apparently having sex with a dog.
These revelations should not necessarily exclude Cook from work at the UN.
But, for many, his antics are too smutty for a strait-laced intergovernmental body.
They also reinforce concerns about WHO’s trans health panel, which met for the first time in Geneva this month.
Critics say the group — which is made up of trans campaigners and advocates — is biased.
One trans activist member has already left the panel amid controversy, while another has been exposed for sharing X-rated Grindr hookup posts.
Cook and the WHO did not answer DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
Cook is director for LGBTQ+ community health for ACON, a community group in Sydney.
He famously addressed the New South Wales parliament in 2021, saying trans people deserve ‘dignity’ and are not a ‘threat.’
