Trans Woman Asks Joe Biden One Question, FOX News Flips Out.

The trans woman who asked a question of the president is on TikTok, and this is somehow being portrayed as a scandal.

One game the right wing media love playing is that of guilt by association. The rules are theirs, and always changing, so much so that a semi-fascist former President with deep ties to both the mob and Russia is never guilty, but there’s a problem when current the President takes a single question from a transgender woman TikTokker.

According to an article by Brian Flood on FOX News, a right wing news outlet, Dylan Mulvaney is 25, an actress and a comedian, and was one of several people who was given the chance to ask a question of President Joe Biden as part of an interview for NowThis News, a left wing news outlet.

Apart from the incorrect use of “their” instead of they’re, there’s nothing particularly shocking about the section we’ve lifted from the article, explaining this non-controversy. Such comments having been found on the TikTok of a trans woman comedian is not even a little scandalous, nor is someone who sang a song on YouTube being able to ask her President a single question. If Biden himself sang “normalize the bulge” about trans women wearing tight shorts, OK, it might be slightly out there (although, also, incredibly cool and funny and he should definitely do that in his persona as Dark Brandon). But Biden didn’t say it. He didn’t even have a long sit-down interview with the person who did say it. She was literally just allowed to ask one question.

In closing, never forget the right wing media is fucking crazy. They’re not the same as mainstream media, and the brass tacks are that they’re also much more crazy (and less factual) than left wing media, which at least mostly tries for relevance and accuracy.
