Yeah, that's just nuts. Let's be very specific: the issue was that Bud Light hired Dylan Mulvaney to do a social media promotion. It's not as if Dylan's face was on beer cans available in stores or anything. And this simple act caused a massive backlash. I would think that this might raise some questions about who exactly the prigs were in this instance.

The backlash arose for many reasons, but this article explains the most principled one:

It's not priggish to take a stand against misogyny, is it?

  • So if you, in good faith, believe a behavior is oppressive, it's not priggish to take a stand against it? That would also demolish PG's entire argument.

  • The "misogyny" that article purports is just... being publicly trans.

    • Exactly. It's fundamentally misogynistic for these men to appropriate a "woman" identity, and Mulvaney is a very typical example of this.

      Think about it. If you remove the female body from the definition of woman, what else remains besides sexist stereotypes?
