Candace Owens accuses Lady Gaga of political naivety, calling her part of Hollywood’s "satanic cult" despite her artistic talent, while criticizing Dylan Mulvaney for co-opting International Women’s Day with transgender advocacy. Owens frames terms like "cisgender" as slurs—even comparing them to Elon Musk’s banned language—and argues Mulvaney’s visibility erases biological women’s identity, citing J.K. Rowling’s opposition. Gaga’s defense of Mulvaney, Owens claims, conflates dissent with violence while ignoring policies that marginalize women, like platform bans and legal changes. The episode highlights a clash over gender identity, where Owens insists biological womanhood is under attack, while Gaga dismisses critics as hateful, leaving Mulvaney’s plea for recognition unanswered.

She's platforming Dylan Mulvaney because Dylan Mulvaney is a hero, and Dylan has stood up to mobs just to be who Dylan is.
No consideration for the chorus of women, like J.K.
Rowling, who feel insulted by this.
Right?
Because apparently we should care more about how Dylan feels than how tons, millions of women all around the world, billions of women feel about this, really.
Just the denigration of what it means to be a woman being called cisgender, which I'm happy that Elon Musk refers to that as a slur and does not allow it on his platform.
Basically saying, there's nothing special about you women.
Anybody can be a woman.
Even a man can be a woman.
That's where we're at today.
And we're having our voices silenced.
I have to be careful in how I cover this right now on YouTube because they care more about how Dylan feels than how I feel as an actual woman.
That's ridiculous.
So obviously, Dylan posting this was met with backlash from actual women saying, this is a day we're supposed to be celebrating women.
Can we have this day?
And so Lady Gaga hit back at those people.
She wrote this.
It's appalling to me that a post about National Women's Day by Dylan Mulvaney and me would be met with such vitriol and hatred.
When I see a newspaper reporting on hatred, but calling it backlash, I feel it is important to clarify that hatred is hatred.
And this kind of hatred is violence.
Backlash would imply that people who love or respect Dylan and me didn't like something we did.
This is not backlash, this is hatred.
Okay, so we'll pause there, and you can read the rest in your own time.
This is the reframing, right?
This is not backlash.
No, let me tell you what backlash would be.
It doesn't have to love, you don't have to love Dylan, know Dylan, or love Lady Gaga, or love her music or what
she does.
What you have to love is being a woman.
That's it.
That's all it takes to get backlash.
Are you a woman?
Yes.
Are you okay with the fact that suddenly your voices are being silenced and laws are being created and policies, rather, are being created on platforms like YouTube and Facebook to basically deny the fact that you're a woman?
Yeah, I would say that we're pretty upset about that.
Are we backlashing against that?
Are we saying, no, it's unacceptable?
Yes, because we should say it's unacceptable.
We should say it is unacceptable that you would hyphenate things and refer to us as cisgender.
No, we're women.
I just gave birth to three kids over the last three years.
Don't take all of the elements and the beautiful things about being a woman and basically erase it while at the same time you will be the same kind of person, and I'm speaking directly to Lady Gaga here, that will speak out against the patriarchy.
Oh, men.
It's because of men we can't get anywhere.
Oh, men around every corner.
But I guess if a man puts on a wig and says they feel like a woman, like Shania Twain, I feel like a woman, then suddenly it's not the patriarchy at all.
It's not the patriarchy at all.
No.
That's something else.
And we're hateful for wanting to Be ourselves.
That's it.
That's the big ask.
Can we acknowledge that being a woman is something that is special and something that is different to being a man?
Lady Gaga says no.
She says that you are a hateful human being, so you guys can take that or you can leave it.
