Anon said: "Days of Girlhood" by Dylan Mulvaney is loved by some, while others are deeply offended by it. I wonder what Tumblr users think 🤔

“y’all hate days of girlhood but ate up (insert girly pop song by female artist)” yes because those songs were written by actual women. hope this helps❤️
my recent operation saw doctors KNOCKING ME OUT, CUTTING OPEN the inside of my nose, & SURGICALLY REMOVING my septum cartilage - leaving me w/ 2 inch long splints in both nostrils for 1 week
it was called a "septoplasty" & it made me breathe clearly for the 1st time in 26 years
the way people will jump ALL OVER trans women for doing literally ANYTHING. there’s a trans woman i follow on tiktok, dylan mulvaney, possibly the most inoffensive and gentle trans woman that conservatives could ever be faced with and Jesus Christ. she like. she released this song that (to be fair the song kind of sucked) was about like stereotypes of womanhood. and she’s not the first woman to release songs like this. FAR FROM IT. but terfs and random cis women are having a FIELD DAY with this song saying it’s misogynistic and proves that she’s a man. when y’all KNOW they wouldn’t be doing that if a cis woman released this song. ayesha erotica, slayyyter, aqua, all of them release music like this that’s highly popular on tiktok. but when a trans women does it you get stuff like this:
it’s actual fucking brainrot. when it’s a jokey song about her own experiences. if it were a cis woman making this song yall would be eating this up but a trans woman can’t do ONE THING that’s deemed weird without being called a predator, a caricature, a misogynist, or some other vile name.
what i can't help but think about in regards to dylan mulvaney's horrible song is not only how privileged he is as a man but how privileged he is as a well-off man. every single aspect of "girlhood" that he talks about is based in consumerism and requires a bourgeois background to access. i wonder what he would say if someone reminded him that there are millions of women around the world who don't have the means to find their womanhood in prescription drugs and healthcare, club life and one night stands, new clothes and makeup, etc. many women live day to day, struggling to make ends meet. are they excluded from "womanhood" or "girlhood" as dylan defines it?
The shit people give Dylan Mulvaney simply for existing and sharing her experience as a transwoman is just so incredibly disheartening. You don't have to like the song but it's obvious she had good intentions and was just sharing her personal experience of womanhood and thanking the women in her life for helping her and being supportive of her, which I thought was sweet. It's not as though she's saying that every woman has to be stereotypically feminine the way she wants to be. Just let the poor woman live her life.
“If Taylor Swift released Dylan’s song you all would be eating it up-” Taylor Swift would never write a song like that in a hundred million years hope this helps
i don't care about dylan mulvaney like at all actually. like i respect her as a person and i wish her peace and happiness like i would any other trans person but also she is just another celebrity that i'm not really interested in hearing about ever. but as soon as a cis person starts chatting shit about her because shes a high profile trans person suddenly im her biggest fan and defending her with my life.
like my cousin (mormon) was like shit talking dylan and i immediately became the dylan defence squad.
this applies to her music as well because yeah i don't like her song i think its a bit shit but cis people have had the whole of human history to make bad music, let trans people have a turn. also i don't like it but it isn't as bad as some songs that cis people have written that have become crazy popular u guys just hate to see a pretty and successful trans person winning 🤷♂️
I promise you the women calling out Dylan Mulvaney are not the ones using dumb terms like "girl math." Women being brainwashed and buying into misogynistic stereotypes about themselves does not make it okay for men to push it further onto us.
