A lot of people have been pointing out lately that the right’s anger over trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney is playing directly into the left’s hands. And while there’s some merit to that argument, I personally think the side of reason has gone a little too hard on that strategy in recent years and that’s a contributing factor to why Dylan Mulvaney is even a thing.

So I’m gonna keep pointing out what’s wrong with people falling over themselves to throw money and freebies and kudos and their dignity at this person– or, rather, I’m gonna YASSSSS QWEEN the people who do.

Like Amelia Strickler. Strickler is a woman (like, a biological one) who shotputs for the UK. She recently wrote an op-ed for the Daily Mail explaining why she has a problem with Nike’s recent decision to have Mulvaney sign on as a spokesperson for the brand. And it’s not because she’s anti-trans. It’s because she’s pro-woman (and YES, there’s a difference).
