Hello dolls!
Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has wrestled back into the spotlight to celebrate a second year cosplaying a biological woman.
The big brand destroyer teased over 10 million TikTok followers this week with a ‘surprise’.
But did anyone foresee the onslaught on eyes and ears that was about to be unleashed?
Titled ‘Days of Girlhood’, it was a music video no one asked for, named after the viral TikTok chronicle of Mulvaney’s gender reassignment.
This social media series hit all the classic sexist tropes: women are addicted to clothes, cry when they see bugs, regularly frolic in meadows, and can’t control their emotions.
The video is more of the same misogyny.
It opens with a pop beat in the background as Mulvaney, heels in hand, exits a pink convertible. Mulvaney stumbles to the front door of a peach mansion and drops the keys.
After a quick make-up check, a sip of champagne, a lounge on a frilly red duvet and a look at a pill-filled medicine cabinet, it’s off to the pool.
The lyrics to the song are somehow worse than the candy-coated aesthetic.
“Monday, can’t get out of bed … Tuesday morning, pick up medicine … Wednesday, retail treatment … “Cash or credit? I say, ‘Yes’ … Thursday, had a walk of shame … Didn’t even know his name … Friday night I want to spend too much … Saturday we flirt after drinks.’
Hello dolls! Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has wrestled back into the spotlight to celebrate a second year cosplaying a biological woman.

Still depressed, over medicated, promiscuous and using booze and a shopping addiction to cope.
Is this what Mulvaney thinks represents being a woman?
At the pool, Mulvaney and friends perform stilted, synchronized routines in World War II bathing suits.
The sets and costumes are awash in Barbie and millennial pink, big hair and heavy, glittery makeup.
It’s unimaginatively sloppy and could be the premise of an old Saturday Night Live skit.
But this video is 100 percent real, and coming from a biological male, it’s offensive.
Mulvaney sings about ‘learning the basics’ of being a girl.
News flash: biological women don’t need a crash course in ‘how to girl’. We were born this way.
Of course, we learn from our mothers and female mentors how to deal with puberty, menstruation and pregnancy. But these are biological realities that Mulvaney will never experience.
Things get creepy when you notice that Mulvaney takes on a childish caricature.
The bare midriff, the pigtails, the affected voice. All the while, Mulvaney speaks to the auto-tuned chorus: “There are the days of girlhood.”
Things get creepy when you notice that Mulvaney takes on a childish caricature. The bare midriff, the pigtails, the affected voice. All the while, Mulvaney says the auto-tuned refrain: “There are the days of girlhood.”
‘Calling women off all ages,’ Mulvaney exclaims in the rallying cry.
This is coming from someone who has been honored by President Joe Biden as a role model for LGBTQ youth.
Does the White House support the proposal that girls drink alcohol, take copious amounts of pills and have sex with anonymous partners? Someone should ask if they plan to get Mulvaney back in the Oval Office.
Young women face a psychological crisis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that teenage girls feel sadder, lonelier and more hopeless than ever before.
Mulvaney’s millions of followers – many of whom are no doubt children and teenagers – would surely benefit from a more positive example. But instead, Mulvaney seems to revel in this national anthem of distress, ‘Sunday, the Twilight soundtrack signals my breakdown in the bath’ as he sinks lower in the water.
It is not helpful to tell girls that perpetual victimhood is something aspirational, nor is it healthy to suggest that substance abuse or reckless sexual behavior is a legitimate coping mechanism.
But Mulvaney doesn’t care if this music video sells a harmful lie to impressionable young fans.
After all, Mulvaney is banking on this new gig. There are partnerships with Ulta, Nike, Crest, Kate Spade and other major brands.
If there was a patriarchy, it would almost certainly involve biological men invading women’s spaces and taking professional opportunities away from them.

How ironic that Mulvaney sings, “Boys on the dance floor, it’s finally clear … The patriarchy is over, you can hold our beer!”
That last line is, of course, a reference to the Bud Light boycott that followed after the brand decided to pursue an advertising deal with Mulvaney.

Mulvaney single-handedly managed to revive Anheuser-Busch stock in combination with the beer company’s bone-headed marketing department, which considered its loyal consumer base “too motley.”
In the music video, Mulvaney shoots a series of pink-washed beer cans with a water gun. The obvious message – Mulvaney was the aggrieved party in that saga, not the millions of customers who felt betrayed by a company that once championed traditional American values and now looked down on them.
But insulting adults is one thing. This music video is completely different.
Mulvaney is explicitly sending a message to children – and it’s dangerous.
Unfortunately, Americans cannot trust the mainstream media, Hollywood, and the political left to acknowledge Mulvaney’s obscenity, so people should vote with their dollars in good faith.
If ever there was a time to boycott a brand associated with Dylan Mulvaney – it’s now.
