Brendan O'Neill has some fun with Dylan Mulvaney on the publication of his book Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer. "Batshit insane".

Some people will bristle at my use of male pronouns for Mulvaney, but if you think I’m saying ‘she’ and ‘her’ about someone who’s so obsessed with his own schlong that he has a name for it – ‘Missy’ – then you must be off your rocker. ‘I am a woman with a penis’, he writes. Can we take a second to marvel at the sheer delirium of a statement like that? A hundred years ago if you said ‘I’m a woman with a penis’, you’d have been quietly shuffled off to Bedlam. Now you get an advance from Hachette and a birthday card from the vice-president of the United States.

That was Kamala Harris, after Joe Biden received Mulvaney at the White House. "God love you" was Biden's heart-felt response on meeting the pink ever-so-girlie wonder. And, apart perhaps from Gavin Newsom, the Dems still haven't worked out why Trump won.
