Transgender Dylan Mulvaney has won woman of the year 🤣🤣 you couldn’t make it up. Not one woman was worth the win. What do you think šŸ¤”

Who organises this award? Presumably they are a bit hard of thinking, at the very least!

pinkquartz Thu 12-Oct-23 18:55:58

what balls is this ?

This is Attitude magazine's LGBTQ+ awards.

Absolutely sickened by this. Dylan was born male in 1996. The New York Times reports she transitioned to female beginning March 2021 and has reportedly earned more than a million dollars from endorsements including fashion and cosmetics. She has 10 million followers on top tok. She grew up in a wealthy privileged family.

Her lived experience is nothing like that of other 26 year old women. S.he may well have faced emotional struggles due to her gender confusion. She didn’t grow up as a girl, she didn’t go through puberty or negotiate her way through school , into employment. Im insulted that she is given any woman of the year award. I’d have no problem with her being trans woman of the year but leave awards for AFH

I have actually got to the point of laughing about this stuff.
Only it isnt funny.

I laugh because
I cant quite believe that the Emperors Clothes story actually comes true.
And from high ups in society too.
So very funny. Only it isnt.

And it isnt funny because that it does come from high up people.
Who try and impose on others.

And as far as I am concerned, because people are kow towing to those they owe money to.
Investors.

I will go and see who owns Att itude Magazine

fancythat Thu 12-Oct-23 20:47:03

Darren Styles OBE. He is gay.
Seems like a self made man. So may owe no one.

It's rubbish we all know it! All we can do is wait for this ridiculous house of cards to collapse hmm

VioletSky Thu 12-Oct-23 21:30:28

So she was named woman of the year by an LGBTQ+ magazine created and read by people who accept trans women as women...

Perfectly logical

Good for her, she must be so happy

BlueBelle Thu 12-Oct-23 21:38:53

But he’s not a she violetsky Dylan Mulvaney has a penis, he has had facial surgery to make him look more feminine but hes still got his tackle
He’s a male
So yes I m sure he is very happy

Blossoming Thu 12-Oct-23 21:45:06

It’s complete twaddle.

Ziplok Thu 12-Oct-23 21:47:23

It’s not a ā€œsheā€ for goodness sake. Doesn’t want to be known as male, so can’t say ā€œheā€, but in no way can the person be referred to as a ā€œsheā€. We really must stop pussyfooting around.

Ziplok Thu 12-Oct-23 21:51:17

I will reiterate. This person is not a she. Biologically, not female and never will be.

Galaxy Thu 12-Oct-23 21:52:16

I dont think Dylan is happy at all. I don't know how anyone can say that if they have watched Dylan.

Callistemon21 Thu 12-Oct-23 22:04:31

It's just a farce.

But a very worrying one.

grumppa Thu 12-Oct-23 22:09:39

As a straight male, may I just say that awards like this may have the effect of tipping this whole debate deeper into the farce which it has become?

Virulent (I use the word advisedly) trans men are an embarrassment not only to calm and rational trans men, but to the army of men who fully understand and support the need for safe spaces for women. We have daughters, nieces, wives, fiancƩes, girl friends, mistresses even, and we want them to be safe.

VioletSky Thu 12-Oct-23 22:44:25

"mistresses even"

Not much respect for wives or daughters there

Dickens Fri 13-Oct-23 01:57:38

Do people still use the description "mistress" anymore?

Apart from the concept, the very terminology is dated.

And, if you have "wives, fiancƩes, girl friends", it's hardly supportive of women to have a mistress also. It's simply being unfaithful - cheating in other words.

Galaxy Fri 13-Oct-23 07:29:00

Well in MN it's most certainly 'the other woman'. Or phrases that arent as pleasant.
