Some conservatives and feminists (not mutually exclusive) took notice that woke capital and the left — which together rushed to celebrate the supposed “girlhood” of an individual whose activism involves “normalizing the bulge” among male transsexuals — had in the process trivialized and denigrated real womanhood.
Many have since gone on social media to share their reflections on womanhood, usually beginning with the prompt, “Today, I celebrate …”
The pretender
Bud Light’s transvestite spokesman Dylan Mulvaney put on a big show on March 13 to celebrate having dressed up as a woman for 365 days.
At the Rockefeller Center’s Rainbow Room in New York City, he advanced transsexual activism while performing excerpts from transmogrified musical theater standards, reported Rolling Stone.
This event served as a capstone to Mulvaney’s year-long “transition” into a caricature of a girl, which began with his March 2022 announcement that he was a “trans woman” and was documented every day thereafter on TikTok.
Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly wrote to Mulvaney, saying, “I send you my warmest greetings as you celebrate your 365th day of living authentically.”
“Through your work as an activist and advocate for the LGBTQI+ community, you continue to break barriers and inspire young people across our Nation and around the world. While we have made incredible progress—from advancing marriage equality to enacting historic protections for transgender people—the fight is far from over. Our administration stands with the LGBTQI+ community in the ongoing struggle for true equity and equality and against hate and discrimination in all forms,” Harris added.
Hollywood celebs similarly joined in to heap lavish praise on the former theater performer.
TheBlaze previously reported that script-reader Drew Barrymore got down on her knees in front of Mulvaney in March, stressing that she could not imagine anyone disliking him.
Bud Light even commemorated his “365 Days of Girlhood” with a bespoke pack of beer.
The real deal
Women who went countless days without celebration or corporate sponsorships took to social media en masse to highlight how womanhood and girlhood are about a great deal more than heels, dresses, and makeup.
Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert (Co.) tweeted, “Today, I celebrate 13,262 days of being a woman. I’ve been pregnant five times (miscarried in 2012) and gave birth to a four incredible boys that came out of my womb. Any day now, one of those four boys will make me a grandmother. Womanhood is so much more than just dressing up in makeup and a skirt for internet videos.”
Republican Rep. Mayra Flores of Texas tweeted, “Today, I celebrate 13,615 days of being a woman. I’ve been pregnant four times and gave birth to four incredible children who came out of my womb. There is no greater pain and greater joy than becoming a mother.”
Arizona artist and conservative commentator ReAnna Dilley wrote, “Today, I celebrate 12,775 days of being a woman. I’ve been pregnant 2 times. (My 2nd baby did not come to term which is a pain that is hard to describe). I gave birth to a beautiful biological baby boy that came out of my womb. I’ve had to overcome female hormone related conditions ever since, which at times were physically and mentally debilitating,” adding, “You cannot change your gender.”
Dilley later noted that “There are soooo many aspects of womanhood, triumphs and struggles like this, that just can’t be faked with dresses and heels.”
Sarah Fields, director of advocacy at the Texas Freedom Coalition, noted in her celebration of real womanhood, “Being a woman is hard. But the joy of being a woman and knowing we were wonderfully and uniquely made with XX chromosomes is ours and ours alone. We are strong. We are warriors. No amount of pretending, ridiculous acting or surgery can ever make you a woman. A man cannot be a woman. You will never experience what we have. Stop appropriating us. Stop trying to erase us.”
Spanish beauty consultant Ada Lluch highlighted in her celebratory remarks yet another chief distinction between the pretenders and those partaking in this trend: “Today, I celerate 8,607 days of being a woman. I’ve had about 100 menstrual cycles.”
One Twitter user emphasized, “You can celebrate your girlhood but lipstick, tampons and Bud Light won’t make you a woman.”
“Today, I celebrate 15,330 days of being a woman,” said Twitter user @patriot_savvy. “I’ve been pregnant 2 times (lost my 1st baby due to my below mentioned medical conditions) and gave birth to a beautiful biological baby girl that came out of my womb.”
“I’ve had to battle polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis and adenomyosis my whole life, had to endure 8 surgeries to attempt to correct my female reproductive conditions, but ultimately had to have a hysterectomy 287 days after I gave birth to my daughter because my body had been put through so much… No man can say he has done these things because You cannot change your gender,” she added.
