Not the Babylon Bee: Dylan Mulvaney named Woman of the Year

A man is not a woman. A man is not Woman of the Year. Yet, here we are.

At an awards ceremony in the U.K., Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards named Dylan Mulvaney, an American transgender activist and social media influencer, as Woman of the Year. The ceremony was for an LGBT magazine for the U.K. and Europe.

Mulvaney attended the ceremony. When he accepted the award, he said that it has been 560 days since he started transitioning. That’s a long grift for social media. Dylan said some people “don’t see me as a woman at all.” Boos came from the audience. Everyone else knows that people don’t think of him as a woman BECAUSE HE IS A MAN. It’s science. I don’t make the rules.

“So, no matter how hard I try, or what I wear, or what I say, or what surgeries I get, I will never reach an acceptable version of womanhood by those hateful people’s standards,” Mulvaney said. “But as long as I have the queer community that sees me for my truth, I’m going to be OK!”

I guess I’m one of those hateful people. I want every real woman to be a hateful person when it comes to accepting men as women at the expense of women. Dylan took the award from a woman. The cancellation of women has to stop. Dylan was awarded the Breakout Creator of 2023 at the Streamy Awards in August. The ceremony is dedicated to online content creators. I have no problem with Dylan receiving that award. More power to him. But, when it comes to awards labeling him as a woman? Nope. It has to stop.

We all know Dylan for his collaboration with Bud Light. He received a can with his picture on it to celebrate the 365 day mark of his cosplaying as a ditzy young woman. If you have ever seen his videos on social media, you know what I’m talking about. He overacts, like performance art, and he comes off looking as a parody of female teens, not a twenty-something that he is in real life. He’s jumping on beds and overexaggerating his facial expressions. That collaboration with Bud Light brought about a boycott to the company for pushing a social experiment in an advertising campaign. Bud Light drinkers didn’t want politics or social virtue-signaling with their beer purchases.

The boycott was hugely successful. Bud Light was knocked off its perch as the number one selling beer and its stock took a huge hit. Actions have consequences. The wokesters in the advertising department learned a hard lesson and a couple of them lost their jobs. Do better.

In the wake of the video’s posting, Anheuser-Busch, the company that owns Bud Light, saw its revenue go down by almost $400 million in August. In June, Mulvaney criticized Anheuser-Busch for not reaching out in the wake of the backlash caused by their partnership and was “scared to leave my house.”

Despite expressing criticism, Mulvaney recently suggested that Bud Light should create an ad featuring a trans woman and a cowboy drinking a beer at a bar. The transgender activist suggested the tag line, “There’s room for all of us beer drinkers in this town,” for the ad.

He said he was happy to receive the award in the U.K. He said it helped him feel that he didn’t have “that baggage that I was carrying back in the U.S.”

“And I didn’t feel like the trans beer girl,” she said, adding, “You know, I didn’t walk into rooms and wonder, ‘Oh does that person hate me?’ I was just another gal walking around in a Burberry trench on her way to a West End musical.”
