More on the special privileges conferred on trans women by virtue of their magic trans-ness.
We heard from Dylan Mulvaney last month when he spoke at the Forbes' Power Women’s Summit, an annual event highlighting female leaders in business and activism.
Mulvaney’s appearance at the Summit comes just months after the TikToker reported being offered a partnership with Tampax to advertise menstruation products. The partnership allegedly came after Mulvaney’s video on his “12th day of girlhood” in which he discussed carrying tampons around to hand out in women’s bathrooms, and refers to the vagina as a “barbie pouch.”
Mulvaney’s TikToks documenting his “days of girlhood” have accumulated millions of views. In the videos, Mulvaney is often seen doing and acting in excessively “feminine” ways which are often perceived as representing harmful, sexist stereotypes. While “being a girl,” Mulvaney often attributes his womanhood to what he is wearing, his makeup, eating habits, and dramatic emotions which lead to crying and binge shopping.
Since then Mulvaney has featured in the latest marketing campaign by US beauty retailer Ulta, to advertise skin care and make-up products to women. Because, after all, men make better women than women. They've got all the stereotypes down pat - plus they've got the huge advantage of actually being men.
And now, in some sort of culmination of his unstoppable upward trajectory, he's been to see Joe Biden:
President Biden has called restrictions on treatment for transgender children by Republican-led legislatures “outrageous” and “immoral”.
He said that states had no right to restrict gender-affirming health care, including sex-change surgery and the prescription of hormone blockers.
In an interview with the trans TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney, Biden said: “I don’t think any state or anybody should have the right to do that. As a moral question or as a legal question, I just think it’s wrong.”
That'd be gender-affirming health care as medical mutilation, then.
Biden, 79, said during a “presidential forum” for the online news channel Now This: “It’s really important that we continue to speak out about the basic fundamental rights of all human beings.” He added: “The idea . . . that was going on, you know, in some states — I won’t get into the politics of it, but some states it’s just outrageous, and I think it’s immoral.”
Not the basic fundamental rights of women, of course. They can safely be ignored.
Mulvaney, 25, who uses the pronouns she/her and they/their, opened the interview by saying: “This is my 221st day of publicly transitioning.” Biden replied: “God love you.”
Oh please.
