The entire thing is extra stupid for a number of reasons but one of them being that the video is from March 13, and another one being that Maybelline isn’t even the most recent company that Mulvaney’s posted about. Just a few weeks ago, she talked about her OleHenriksen influencer trip to Copenhagen and she’s also scored partnerships with massive clothing companies like Nike and Kate Spade. How transphobes are randomly picking and choosing what to be pissed at is beyond understanding.

Again, this isn’t even the first time this year that companies trying to cash in on Mulvaney’s popularity have been targeted. Rightwing cranks most recently went after Anhueuser-Busch for their Bud Light campaign with Mulvaney—with losers like Kid Rock taking an actual assault rifle to three cases of Bud Light. (Rich people have too much money and too much free time.) And on Sunday, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried to dunk on Mulvaney by declaring the actress is not a “real woman” (the least original form of transphobia), instead of, you know, running the state.

Sadly, visible trans people scare the people who measure their self-worth by not knowing how to use a pronoun and by getting offended at the notion that maybe guns are bad after another school gets shot up.

Mulvaney has only been posting about her transition for one year. Imagine how many dumb boycotts she’ll inspire over her lifetime. Until then, I guess I gotta go grab some of Maybelline’s iconic Great Lash.
