The last time I came across a Daily Mail, ahem, “news article” about Britney Spears, I was struck by how much the singer’s behavior reminded me of Dylan Mulvaney. The same desperate, distant stare, the same jerky, robotic movement, the same maniacal expression. People frequently see Spears’s posts and make comments along the lines of, “Oh my goodness, please somebody help her.” But I sense doing the same for Mulvaney would be considered “transphobic.” This is heartbreaking, because to me, Mulvaney is the poster child of America’s mental health crisis.
Take a moment to watch the video of Mulvaney modeling a sports bra for Nike and “exercising.” …
The way he flails his arms around and tries to remember what exercise looks like is the saddest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Healthy, stable, normal people do not act this way unless they’re performing, which leads me to wonder: would Mulvaney be going to such great lengths to transition if he didn’t gain such prominence by doing so on a public platform?
