My wife asked me this morning who I thought TIME Magazine's Person of the Year was. I guessed Dylan Mulvaney. Happily, I was wrong.
"Trans actress and content creator" Mulvaney appeared at Penn State Tuesday night, and by the looks of things, there was plenty of seating available.

Someone at Penn State actually used student money to pay for Mulvaney to travel to State College and speak. What a grift.
Haylee Yokum covered the speech for Penn State's student blog:
Throughout the night, Mulvaney continued to discuss theater in her answers, and it was clear where her true passion lies. She even shared that she is currently working on a one-woman show, which she hopes will premiere next year.
When asked about recognizing the trans women of color who came before her, Mulvaney explained that she continues to listen and learn from others, while simultaneously recognizing her own room for growth.
Though labeled by many as a trans activist, Mulvaney shared she still struggles to see herself as one.
“I never thought of myself as an activist, and then I got invited to the White House to interview the president,” she laughed.
He really did get invited to the White House for a meeting with President Joe Biden about issues facing trans people. This is how much of an idiot Biden really is.
We were accused by some on the Right of helping Mulvaney by “making him famous.” But in fact we made sure his brand was viewed as it really is: toxic, embarrassing and ridiculous. Now he can’t draw a crowd and he’s radioactive to companies that associate with him. Total victory. https://t.co/imJQHAKqgt

Those empty seats identify as being filled. It’s standing room only.

Seriously, how much did the student government blow on this appearance?

When asked to advise students in the audience, queer or not, Mulvaney had some wise words.
“You have to lean into the fear sometimes,” she shared, explaining that she had found the most of her courage when she was the most frightened.
Mulvaney told the "crowd" that 2023 was the worst year of his life … crying all the way to the bank.
