Trans attack Lil Nas X again (2)
Alphabet Soup isn't having any of these attacks and lead attacker apologizes, where is the LGB Alliance and feminists on this?
[Updated 11/16/2021] The trans attack on Lil Nas X seem to have come to a halt about a month or so ago. Update 10/26/2022. I am adding Internet archive links at the end in case some things disappear.
The story of the trans attack on Lil Nas X is fairly well summarized in these two online publications articles.
This was at Unilad:

This was at INTO. This article made fun of pinkmantaray.

During the last big attack on Lil Nas X by trans no Alphabet Soup (LGBTQ+) media picked up the story, but this time two publications did.
The story is about a Female to Male (FtM) transgender individual pinkmantaray who decided to attack Lil Nas X for looking like he was pregnant because it upset his feelings. He quickly back tracked. This attack was launched at the same time he was launching his book.
This is the initial attack on Lil Nas X. To read the text that goes with these pictures click on the link below not the pictures. You can page through the images attacking Lil Nas X, there are no less than six of them.
What is disturbing is that pinkmantaray gets 86,423 likes for this. The trans taliban mob is a big mob.

I am sure there were visions of pinkmantaray being the great trans leader and his book getting a huge amount of publicity. Also, the trans movement would flex its muscles and humble Lil Nas X like they humbled Ru Paul.
However, it doesn’t work out that way.
He starts getting backlash and responds with this post. Note the exploitive use of the issue of anti-Asian violence to deflect criticism.

Then we discover that when it comes to cancel culture race is more powerful than trans outrage.
There is this post in which pinkmantaray gets told. The woke lecture talk to each other. There is a video in this post.

Then pinkmantaray apologizes.

This attack spilled over into twitter where there were a lot of people sharing pinkmantarays post and condeming Lil Nas X.
Lil Nas X pregnacy promotion of his album also included fund raising for human rights when he put online a Baby Registry where you donate to the charity of your choice. I donated $125 to the group that works on Bail Relief.

A great many charities were benefited He used his star power to help out a great many charities.
Lil Nas X has a Twitter account Lil Nas X States. This is a recent post. On the Spotify platform he has hit 5 Billion, that is BILLION, plays and his album hasn’t come out.
This video on Youtube has as of 9/8/2021 has 343+ million plays.
I personally have tracked what languages the song Montero has been translated into. You can see it on YouTube with lyrics in Mongolian, Korean, Spanish, Chinese, Turkish, German, Indonesian, Thai. I haven’t found Tibetan yet though.
I even found a small ballet troupe in Kazakhstan dancing to it.
Lil Nas X is popular. Globally.
Lil Nas X also is attacked by a lot of homophobes and groups that attack Gays generally. The Gay community and a lot of others see him as their champion and also a person who has to withstand a lot of anti-Gay attacks. When trans snipe at Lil Nas X it really reveals that there is no solidarity of the trans with the Lesbians and Gays, just demands for the Lesbians and Gays to support them. It really reveals how self-centered they are.
On twitter, on reddit, people were not happy at all with this attack on Lil Nas X and there was a real backlash. A lot of trans were busy telling people that they love Lil Nas X and were embarrassed.
What is different this time is two minor online LGBT media entities decided to report this.
These publications which purport to have as part of their audience Gay men didn’t have anything on the trans attacks on Lil Nas X as of 9/8/2021 2:31 pm CST. (If you find a report that I missed let me know.) [Update. 9/13/2021. Still no major Gay media coverage.]

Doing Google searches on “Lil Nas X” and “transphobic” failed to show any reporting on pinkmantaray’s attack on Lil Nas X. Given that Lil Nas X is a global media star and is world wide and pinkmantaray is a trans leader you would think this would be news.
Even the trans on Medium are quiet.
I think though the Alphabet Soup realizes that reporting on a trans attack on Lil Nas X would invite a really wide counter-reaction and blowup the Alphabet Soup agenda of having the trans agenda pushed on the Gay community. Also, it would give the counter movement to the Alphabet Soup a huge boost. It would also afford the opportunity to take a stand against trans extremism by playing a Lil Nas X song.
However, Lil Nas X is major global news and not reporting on him is missing a major news story. At some point when the trans attack Lil Nas X it will be something that will be reported in the straight media and the mainstream neoliberal Alphabet Soup media will have to respond.
However, it doesn’t seem that the feminists who are critical of gender theory or the LGB Alliance type people have pick up on this attack on Lil Nas X.
The Lesbian and Gay News which is organized against trans extremism has no Lil Nas X items at all. (9/8/2021 2:55 pm CST).

I don’t see any gender critical feminists posting on pinkmantaray and Lil Nas X. I would think that this would be an excellent opportunity to attack their opposition as repressive, but I can’t find a word. (9/8/2021 2:55 pm CST) Let me know if there is something I have over looked and I will update this post.
I have a speculation, and it is only a speculation is that the gender critical feminists don’t like Lil Nas X either or are uncomfortable with him.
Another observation I have is that the complaint of SOME gender critical feminists is that they are not in charge of who gets attacked and who gets cancelled, and not just that they are attacked.
Lil Nas X does drag sometimes. One LGB feminist was telling me how drag is oppressive to women, etc. and should be banned from the Pride parades.
They thought they would be part of the team deciding who to would be run out of the Alphabet Soup and one day found out that the group to be run out was them.
WHAT NEXT? [UPDATED 9/13/2021]
The trans and supporters of trans who attacked him are likely not reconsidering their views, but instead festering with anger that they couldn’t bring him down. So I think there will be a third attack. Some trans will be looking for something about Lil Nas X to attack him.
[9/13/2021 update]
So this was published 9/10/2021. Another attack on Lil Nas X.
They basically are stabbing Lil Nas X in the back for not considering how trans might feel. They are smiling while they are doing it and doing it in a sugary way, but stabbing him nevertheless. They are upset they aren’t the center of the universe.
What is amusing is that they start with the accusations of pinkmantaray who at this time wishes his attacks on Lil Nas X would be forgotten. They don’t mention that pinkmantaray backed off entirely from his attacks and publically regretted thim. Yet here these two are showcasing them as the intro.
Also, it seems that if any trans person has any random thought that makes them uncomfortable because of something you did, you are transphobic. It is indicative of the environment created by the Alphabet Soup that any stray illogical thought that some trans activist might think of, whatever it is, the same the same trans activist in this accusation will be considered credible. The Alphabet Soup empowered them, now they are out of control.
I think other trans activists hoping to tap into Lil Nas X’s celebrity to promote themselves will also join these attack on Lil Nas X. Notice they got 3.4K views in less than a day as of 9/13/2021 8:56 am CST. Over 22K views as of Sept. 14, 2021 6:11 am CST.
[Update 2 on 9/21/2021]
This is a condescending snipe at Lil Nas X which is based on the idea that the accusation of Lil Nas X appearing pregnate was actually transphobic. He doesn’t want to do a frontal attack on Lil Nas X, but this person is saying that it was transphobic.
"The hushed backlash he received for his “pregnant with an album baby” jokes—which some would say is transphobic because it’s predicated upon the false belief that men aren’t able to have kids—reminds us that there are gaps in his experience that could come back to haunt him."

Is the author Tirhakah Love trans? Doing some research, I wasn’t able to determine what he was.
“The Daily Beast” is major media. This attack on Lil Nas X is still creeping around, not wanting to directly attack Lil Nas X, but still trying to legitimize the accusation of transphobia without getting backlash and keep the accusation of transphobia circulating online.
I think that a lot of trans radicals are frustrated that the major Alphabet Soup media won’t go after Lil Nas X. After all they were able to sink their hatchets into Ru Paul., but Lil Nas X seems to be untouchable. It is also significant that this attack was outside the major Alphabet Soup media.
He publicized his article on his twitter account.
It could be that Tirhakah Love wanted to make mention of it to keep trans off his back. If he was trans himself there would be pressure on him by some trans to make at least some mention.
I think that the trans campaign against Lil Nas X is still creeping along. I don’t think this over yet. In Lil Nas X song there is one song which I think will get trans coming after him.
For example this person tweeted on 9/17/2021. Only 1,035 people follow this person, but it shows that there is a low level campaign still going on.
At 1:40 into it the co-singer says she doesn’t have prosthetics. Transpeople get prosthetics. So some trans person somewhere will get upset over this.
I do think that this video might mean that Lil Nas X isn’t concerned about trans attacks. Right now I think he is fairly invulnerable. However, I also think alot of Alphabet Soup scolds are upset that Lil Nas X is having fun as a liberated Gay man.
[Resuming original essay.]
However, the trans are not without allies in their antipathy to Lil Nas X.
One, there is that segment of the Gay community which worries what the straight people think, they are called Respectability Gays. I am sure to them Lil Nas X is a terror.
Two, then there is the general agenda of the neoliberal management of the Alphabet Soup is about assimilation and respectability. Lil Nas X is sort of blowing that up.
Three, I think the openly expressed sexual liberation of Lil Nas X, a feature of Gay culture antagonizes a lot of the anti-sexual elements in the Alphabet Soup.
Four, there is a movement that is hostile to Gays who work out at the gym, watch what they eat, and are physically fit or athletic. They are upset that some people aren’t sexually attracted to overweight gay men. The body positivity movement and Fat liberation movements have some elements which are focused on this hostility.
They are people who themselves are pathologically self-critical of their own bodies and then blame the larger Gay community as somehow forcing these pathologies on them.
This Facebook Group basically captures their attitudes. They take some ideas that are basically true: Don’t obsess that you aren’t a super model; don’t disrespect others because you don’t find them hot; and then use these ideas to drive a basic hostility to any effort to diet, exercise, or avoid morbid obesity or have sexual desire for certain body types.

There are probably other Alphabet Soup scolds which don’t like Lil Nas X just because he is having a lot of fun, and Alphabet Soup scolds almost always aren’t.
I am sure that they are looking for something to attack Lil Nas X. I think though the Alphabet Soup has to be considering that if they go after Lil Nas X, it could result in a backlash against them and real hostility against them.
However, if you are aware of extreme trans rhetoric they say things like “lesbian penises” and other stuff, and are a really unhinged. I don’t think they really care how popular Lil Nas X, they just lash out, and I don’t think they realize that there are red lines to what they do. They have been able to go after so many others, it is probably hard for them to realize that they have limits.
I think that the leadership of the trans groups and the Alphabet Soup groups are probably thinking about how they can manage trans hostility against Lil Nas X. I am not sure that they can. If the Alphabet Soup gets into a conflict with these trans extremists, the homophobia and craziness of some of these trans will explode, and these trans will be flooding twitter and other platforms with their craziness. It will really blow up the LGBT into LGB and T.
Making these attacks on Lil Nas X known generally to the Gay community is a real possibility to break up the hegemony of the Alphabet Soup and their credibility and also discredit trans extremism.
We should make sure these stories are shared on on Facebook pages, twitter accounts, reddit and whatever other platforms we are on individually.
