“What I wear on and off stage is my mask. You see, a mask doesn’t hide you, it exposes you”: History was made last week as Dylan Mulvaney, a pretend woman, sat down in a one-hour interview "Now This" News special with Joe Biden, a pretend president

WASHINGTON, D.C. — History was made last week as Dylan Mulvaney, a pretend woman, sat down in a one-hour Now This News special with Joe Biden, a pretend president.

Dylan Mulvaney is a “social media influencer,” posting on an Instagram account with 600,000 followers and a TikTok account with 8.4 million followers. He has identified as a “girl” for the past 226 days.

Last week, the 25-year-old made waves by appearing in a YouTube interview titled, “The Beauty of … Girlhood,” discussing girlhood and femininity with Ulta Beauty’s “gender fluid” host, David Lopez. The video prompted a boycott of the cosmetic retail giant.

This week, Mulvaney’s making a stir again, because of a meeting with President Biden. Mulvaney announced the interview in an Instagram post, dressed in the “trans flag colors” – white, pink and blue – and said the interview would consist of questions about “trans issues in the United States.”

Along with five other young adults, Mulvaney went to the White House for Now This News, a progressive media outlet. They discussed concerns about abortion, climate change, gun legislation, criminal legal reform, economic instability, and “trans rights.”

After the group watched a short video of Mulvaney’s “transition,” the social media influencer said:

"OMG OMG OMG Mr. President, how aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrree you? EEEEEEEEEE!" said pretend woman Mulvaney in a perfect impression of a totally normal woman. "I'm so, so, so, so, so, so excited to talk to you about important issues concerning very, very young little girls just like me!"

"That's right," replied Biden. "I'm not even being facetious here. Not a joke. For real. Annie Oakley."

This is my 221st day of publicly transitioning.

I am extremely privileged to live in a state that allows me access to the resources I need, and that decision is just between me and my doctors. But many states have lawmakers that feel like they can involve themselves in this very personal process.

Then Mulvaney asked:

Do you think states should have a right to ban gender-affirming healthcare?

The President replied:

I don’t think any state or anybody should have the right to do that, as a moral question. I just think it’s wrong. …

I mean there’s a lot of, sometimes they try to block you from being able to access certain medicines, being able to access certain procedures, and so on.

None of that should be available. I mean, no state, in my view. So I feel very strongly that you should be able to have every single solitary right, including the use of your gender identity bathrooms in public.

Focus on the Family has six pillars, foundational biblical values, that guide our work. They relate to key issues such as the sanctity of life, the value of children, and the preeminence of evangelism.

Our sixth pillar is titled, “The Value of Male and Female.” It reads:

We believe God created humans in His image, intentionally and immutably male and female, each bringing unique and complementary qualities to sexuality and relationships. … Christians are called to proclaim the truth and beauty of God’s design and the redemption of sexual brokenness in our lives and culture through Jesus Christ.

The pillar is rooted in Scripture, which teaches us that God made humans male and female in His image and likeness (See Genesis 1:27, 5:2; Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6).

While humanity consists of males and females, individuals are one or the other. Drugs, hormones, and surgery don’t change someone into the opposite sex.

Children are mentally and emotionally unequipped to make life-changing decisions about “transitioning” to the opposite sex. Federal and state governments should protect them from experimental and harmful medical procedures.

Aides then poked the pretend president with their handy cattle prod, as he was pretending to be awake.

The pair then talked at length about the issues most important to everyday American voters, such as letting biological men use girls' bathrooms, offering unrestricted and free abortions for pregnant men, and outlawing guns.

At publishing time, Mulvaney had told reporters he was happy to interview the President but was extremely disappointed Biden never leaned in to sniff his little girl's hair.

"This is not Woman of the Year behaviour." Why everyone is talking about Caitlyn Jenner and Dylan Mulvaney

Caitlyn Jenner and various other US politicians are targeting a 25-year-old transgender content creator, seemingly just for sharing her experiences being trans.

Dylan Mulvaney is a TikToker with over eight million followers. She's known for her daily series, "Days of Girlhood", which she started in March 2022 to document her transition.

The video series follows Mulvaney through both the fun and uncomfortable aspects of being trans, with the creator often praised for her honesty and humour with her audience.

In October, Mulvaney interviewed President Joe Biden for the news outlet NowThis, where the two discussed gender-affirming healthcare and transgender rights. 

The content creator asked the President whether the US should have the right to ban transition-related care, and Biden responded no. 

"I don’t think any state or anybody should have the right to do that," the President said.

"As a moral question and as a legal question, I just think it’s wrong."

Following the interview, anti-trans US politician Marjorie Taylor Greene said, "I introduced a bill to stop gender affirming care on kids and they want me dead. I’m being swatted while fake women visiting Biden are being swooned."

While Senator Marsha Blackburn tweeted a TikTok video of Mulvaney discussing trans women's bodies and saying, "Radical left-wing lunatics want to normalise this absurdity."

In the clip, Mulvaney discusses having her crotch stared at while shopping and encourages people to "normalise the bulge".

Then one of the most recognisable trans women, Caitlyn Jenner, retweeted Blackburn's statement in agreement.

"@MarshaBlackburn thank you for speaking out and having a backbone - one of the best senators we have. Let’s not 'normalise' any of what this person is doing," Jenner wrote.

"This is absurdity!"

The former athlete also said: "There is a difference between acceptance and tolerance, and normalising exposing your genitals in a public way and a public place."

"I do not support that at all, in the slightest. Dylan... congrats your [sic] trans with a penis."

On October 30, Mulvaney posted a TikTok captioned, "Day 233 - a message to Caitlyn".

In the video, Mulvaney spoke directly to Jenner and said, "I automatically have a lot of respect for you as a fellow trans woman. But then you decided to ridicule me very publicly."

"The first tweet didn’t phase me all that much but then this one [misgendering me] made me go ah – not you calling me a he!

"But you didn’t stop there."

Mulvaney said that she had made the video about her "bulge" because she was "embarrassed" about her body.

"I wanted to reclaim my body in a positive way, and now you've taken that and you turned it into something really ugly," the content creator said.

"In this moment, I am not as comfortable talking about my private parts as I was when I made that video, and it felt like I got outed," Mulvaney continued. 

"I didn’t know how to fully tuck that early on, and I was still wearing Calvin Klein men’s underwear. But after that video, two amazing trans women gifted me tucking panties because they could tell I was struggling."

The content creator also asked Jenner why she was so willing to be hurtful towards another member of her community to win the praise of Republicans.

"You’ve been accepted by a group of people that very clearly does not accept me, and nearly every day this week, I have been called a freak, a child predator, an absurdity," Mulvaney said. 

"I am none of those things that your cohorts are painting me to be, and my question for you is: don’t you feel a little lonely over there? 

"These people that you’re standing with, I don’t know if they have your best intentions at heart. But they will use you to make mine and the trans community’s life a lot harder than it already is."

"I didn’t start 'Days of Girlhood' because being a woman sounded fun. I started this series because of the unspoken shame of being newly trans," Mulvaney added. 

"I am moving on, onward and upward, and I hope you do too."

While Jenner has not publicly addressed Mulvaney’s video, the former athlete has been incredibly outspoken about the backlash to her tweets about her.

"I have never received more death threats, death threats to my team, nasty hate mail than this week," Jenner wrote on Twitter. 

"It is all from the so called 'inclusive' LGBT community. I am so disgusted by the hateful individuals threatening my life for giving my opinions on news topics of the day."

And her team has apologised for misgendering Mulvaney, blaming it on someone else.

"An individual on Ms. Jenner’s team haphazardly misgendered Dylan, in the tweet 'he is talking about his penis'. For this we deeply regret the comment and have taken the appropriate actions to rectify the situation, internally," Jenner’s team said in a statement with Rolling Stone. 

"Ms. Jenner has no further comment on the matter and stands by her statements, otherwise."
