In an interview with BBC2's Newsnight, Greer was asked about Caitlyn Jenner, who is rumoured to be the next Glamour Woman of the Year.
"I think misogyny plays a really big part in all of this," Greer said.
"That a man who goes to these lengths to become a woman will be a better woman than someone who is just born a woman."
Greer added that she thinks Jenner was chasing the attention enjoyed by the other Kardashian women by transitioning.
"It seems to me that what was going on there, is that he, she, wanted the limelight that the other female members of the family are enjoying, and has conquered it just like that."
