Transgender model Munroe Bergdorf has stepped down from her role as an LGBT adviser to a Labour MP - after just over a week in the job.
She says her decision is down to "endless attacks on her character" and "online abuse".
"I don't want to stand in the way of the board serving as a positive catalyst for change within the LGBT communities," she added.
The model previously apologised for "offensive" comments she'd posted.
Munroe was one of several LGBT activists appointed to advise Labour's women and equality minister Dawn Butler on 26 February.
At the time, Ms Butler she was "proud to stand with those challenging discrimination".
But Tory MP Helen Grant said language used by the model - who was sacked by L'Oreal over racism claims - "damages the campaign to promote equality".
She referred to tweets, all from the past year, which criticised suffragettes, gay male Conservatives and also made comments about racial issues.
