Spiked’s O’Neill on Dylan Mulvaney’s Creepy Sexism

Read it because the whole is well-written and quotable.

This is all from Mulvaney’s new book, Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer. It is – and I choose my words advisedly – batshit insane. It traces his ‘gender journey’ from being a gay boy to being nonbinary before he eventually arrives at ‘girlhood’. And then the holy land: womanhood. He’s definitely a woman now because he is ‘blonde and my tits [don’t] need a magnifying glass to be seen’. Plus, he loves pink. At one point he pulls on ‘the pinkest… outfit I own’, thinking that ‘the more feminine’ he appeared, the less likely it is he’ll be ‘misgendered’. Blonde hair, big boobs and a pink dress? Woman!
…

Some people will bristle at my use of male pronouns for Mulvaney, but if you think I’m saying ‘she’ and ‘her’ about someone who’s so obsessed with his own schlong that he has a name for it – ‘Missy’ – then you must be off your rocker. ‘I am a woman with a penis’, he writes. Can we take a second to marvel at the sheer delirium of a statement like that? A hundred years ago if you said ‘I’m a woman with a penis’, you’d have been quietly shuffled off to Bedlam. Now you get an advance from Hachette and a birthday card from the vice-president of the United States.

Sexism or not, Dylan Mulvaney always comes across as very, very creepy IMO. I'm not sure what it is about him, his rictus smile, his look at me persona, his beady, needy 100 yard stare. Obviously the fact he is clearly pretending to be something everyone knows he isn't doesn't help.

He's like a walking, talking living red flag 😂

Excellent article, thanks for sharing. And yes, the sexism just screams out from this movement.

He was on t he voice grifting about trans people in sports,
He's got to keep the grift going somehow.

I’m amazed not I’m amazing!!

I’m amazing an obvious woman such as himself still has a penis. Surely that’s the first thing that would go. The whole thing is bizarre beyond words - but now as a woman who despite having three kids and periods and stuff - I own no pink so maybe I’m not a real woman.

I’ve seen nothing about this book so maybe/hopefully the pink diva is no longer relevant and can reinvent themselves yet again.

The best thing anyone can do is not buy his book. Send a clear message to all the grifters and shysters making money out of this insanity. I had been hoping that Mulvaney was taking the piss, but if he's really had 'facial feminisation surgery' and his Adam's apple shaved, that seems very unlikely.

And Dylan - kindly note that we women do NOT pee out of our vagina.
