Lady Gaga says she feels “very protective in this moment” for not only Dylan but the trans community as a whole, but it’s possible to do that without celebrating a man who was brave enough to slap on some lipstick and portray girlhood as crying too much and buying too many clothes.
Read MoreWomen are furious after Lionsgate sponsored an interview with famed author Judy Blume by trans social Tiktok influencer, Dylan Mulvaney.
Judy Blume's iconic coming-of-age classic Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret was adapted for film and received positive reviews. Savannah Edwards, who has a TikTok following of over one million followers, wrote on her Substack that women needed to take their daughters to see the film. “Your daughters deserve to hear the truth: Growing up female is rough, but it’s beautiful. Our bodies, the way they’re designed, are a miracle. Being born female is an incredible birthright. This movie is a celebration of the foundation of womanhood, the moment when it begins for each of us.”
After Mulvaney’s interview with Blume, Edward’s said, “I’m not offended, I’m pissed.” She tweeted, “The sad part is, #ItMeMargaret is perfect. Damn near perfection, one of the best movies of the year. It’s pro-female, and what a breath of fresh air that is in a culture that treats female puberty like a disease. Why would you ruin that by bringing Dylan into this? @Lionsgate.”
I’m not offended, I’m pissed. You couldn’t find any actual women to do this interview? I’m sick of seeing his face. I’m sick of companies using him to pander to women like me. I’m tired of ideologues treating female puberty like it’s something any man can do. https://t.co/cAvaalZJRE

Other women across social media expressed they no longer wished to take their daughters to see the film, would no longer buy Blume’s books, and wanted the time and money back they invested in the film.
Many other women expressed disappointment in Blume herself. “Shame on you for betraying girls,” said Twitter user Taru Ann. “The REAL most vulnerable people in societies. To suck up to privileged men like this, who hate girls and use their existence only to gain attention, false victim status and money! You could have tried to be brave, like many women with more to lose.”

Judy Blume received backlash after speaking out in support of fellow author, J.K. Rowling, who repeatedly stands up for women’s sex-segregated spaces. “I love her. I am behind her 100 percent as I watch from afar.”
Blume later released a statement to clarify her position, that she merely empathized with Rowling over online harassment. “I stand with the trans community and vehemently disagree with anyone who does not fully support equality and acceptance for LGBTQIA+ people. Anything to the contrary is total bullsh**.”
But you can’t support women’s sports and sex-segregated spaces while preaching total acceptance of the trans community, who want access to women’s locker rooms, bathrooms, prisons, shelters, and to play on their sports teams. As William “Lia” Thomas noted, how can you say he’s not a woman and not allow him to swim against women?
Mulvaney asked Blume for advice on how young creatives like himself can create content about his experience without societal backlash. Blume says, “You know what? You can’t be scared.”
In contrast, Mulvaney released a video last year issuing a not-so-passive-aggressive threat to women who wouldn’t bow down to his gender ideology. “I am also very nervous for you just because, hopefully, soon transphobia won’t be as tolerated online but your tweets are forever, and I don’t want those to come back and haunt you. Okay?”
Mulvaney has also expressed on his Tiktok (to over 10 million followers) that calling him a man and using he/him pronouns should be illegal.
Though women are disappointed with Blume, they should take her advice and not be scared to speak the truth: Dylan Mulvaney is a man and will always be a man.
Now, I’ve seen several activists who are trans and not passable in the least claim they should have access to women’s bathrooms due to safety concerns. So, the concerns and feelings of women should simply be invalidated? I don’t understand why women have to lose on this issue. A lack of chivalry may make you less of a man, but it certainly doesn’t make you more of a woman.
Read MoreAs I reflect on this Easter weekend about the state of the nation, it is disheartening to feel as though the Biden Administration has a bias against Christians. I know President Joe Biden’s defenders will quickly point out, “But he’s Catholic!” Judas was a disciple; he betrayed Jesus, nonetheless.
Read MoreJohnstone, in the past, has spoken out against TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminists). “Literally just shut them down! Unequivocally affirm that trans women are women, that ideologies saying otherwise are based in transphobia…” Johnstone also admitted, “I actually do want a political environment in which TERFs are so vilified they don’t dare speak their views publicly, let alone act on them. Shut. Them. Down.”

That’s what the opposition named it, and the mainstream media (who claims to not take sides) have had no problem running headline after headline with this language.

Alex O’Connor was once asked by a fan why he didn’t talk about Islam and whether it was for personal or safety reasons. “Yeah, well, of course, it is a much less safe thing to do. That is a benefit of Christianity, by the way.”
Many have asked why Musk won’t simply apologize if it was all an honest misunderstanding. And the answer to that is simple: he did nothing wrong. It is not Musk’s responsibility to correct your imagination when his enemies offend you with a blatant smear.
Trump’s victory is a major pendulum swing back toward sanity. Is he a perfect guy? No. Do I love all of his policy prescriptions? No. But Biden and the Democratic establishment have been the threat he now warns Americans about. He would have been better off delivering his address to a mirror rather than a camera.
The ideology necessary to keep abortion legal extends beyond the doctor’s office, and it’s deeper, more dangerous, and more unjust than most Americans can imagine.
Harris was not simply a person from the other side of the aisle with whom I disagreed. Her professional career is littered with detestable behavior to obtain and maintain power so that she can implement detestable and incompetent policies.
The media and many Democrats have bought the hype of Trump being a dictator, but their fictionalized worldview of Donald Trump didn’t materialize outside the borders of their delusional minds.
Since election day, I have read and heard hot takes from Democrat operatives trying to explain Vice President Harris’s loss to former (and officially future) President Donald J. Trump. So far, I’m convinced Republicans are destined to rack up more wins because Democrats do not get it.
Many Democrat operatives expect marginalized communities to experience schadenfreude when a powerful man like Trump gets what they think is coming to him. But the reality is that most people want real justice over social or performative justice.

His response to Laura Trump was completely unprofessional for a journalist and was more like political hackery from a Democrat operative. It was more than him being wrong or willfully blind toward Biden’s condition. He was on a mission to smear her as someone who would mock a disability, just as the media and the Hillary Clinton campaign smeared Trump in 2016.
