Ever since he burst onto the scene, Dylan Mulvaney, a biological male, has been a poster child for the transgender movement. Except that Mulvaney is not interested in the “live and let live” mentality. Instead, the social media influencer is determined to rub his ideology in our faces. His popular “Days of Girlhood” TikTok series documenting the transition process, which thrust Mulvaney into the spotlight, is just one example.
It’s one thing if a person desires to live as the opposite sex with no expectation for the rest of society to show vocal support. It’s another thing altogether if they believe they are the opposite sex while demanding others accept their attempt at “womanface.”
Co-opting the female experience and appearance does not make a woman. But this reality is disregarded by too many in the media who are eager to placate the elites and a loud few. Indeed, Mulvaney’s public profile has only increased since the Bud Light fiasco nearly two years ago when the transgender influencer partnered with the company for an ad campaign. The company lost revenue and longtime customers with that misguided gambit. Not Mulvaney. He now has a book out entitled “Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer” and a new podcast called “The Dylan Hour.” The show and the book are all about being a girl. One problem? Dylan is still a biological male.
Some may ask if Mulvaney isn’t harming anyone, then why care at all?
That question is easily answered with a quick look around. The militant trans movement is not only on social media but seeping into culture, politics, and sports. Leftists include trans women (biological men) in Women’s History Month, Democrats claim Republicans “misgender” the first out trans person in Congress, and President Trump’s executive order entitled “Keep Men Out of Women’s Sports” is billed as offensive. We must care about and push back against attempts to rewrite reality.
On X, Brianna Wu, a well-known video game developer, computer programmer, former political candidate, and self-described “trans girl” who is willing to call out progressives on this issue, did that very thing in response to Dylan Mulvaney’s promo for his podcast. In a post, Wu said:
“Dylan, this is some tough love. Trans gal to trans gal. In the 20s, a genre of deeply racist minstrel films emerged with wildly offensive Black stereotypes. You are producing the modern equivalent with women. I was willing to overlook your cringe and frankly sexist TikToks. You were a child. You’re not a child anymore. You have talent. Please channel it in another way.”
It’s refreshing to see someone who isn’t a conservative make these points. Describing Mulvaney’s content as the modern equivalent of minstrel shows with women is spot-on. Mulvaney offers nothing more than caricatures of womanhood, something he knows nothing about, regardless of hormonal or surgical manipulation. His products treat the female experience as little more than outward adornment that can be purchased as long as someone is willing.
Like masculinity, femininity is intrinsically connected to biological foundations that can’t be altered. Mulvaney’s entire brand is the idea that becoming a girl is as simple as saying you are one. This could not be further from the truth.

Dylan Mulvaney’s media presence isn’t likely to slow down anytime soon. This is partly due to the fact that speaking out against transgenderism is frowned upon by far too many in the media and culture. Too many still fear being canceled more than they care about speaking up honestly. But society is in this very spot because of the unwillingness to speak up.
Still, speaking up matters because reality doesn’t match the “anything-goes” LGBTQ+ culture we’re forced to approve. And it matters because biological women deserve their own spaces.
