'A child let loose in a candy store': Trans icon slams 'juvenile' Dylan Mulvaney amid Bud Light furore

'Why are marketing departments keen on having this character market their products? I don't understand it,' Debbie Hayton, 55, said

LONDON, UK: A transgender physics teacher from the UK has shared her views on the controversies surrounding Dylan Mulvaney and her partnership with different brands, including Bud Light and Nike. Both companies have been facing intense heat and scrutiny after collaborating with the 26-year-old transgender TikTok personality.

Debbie Hayton spoke with Fox News Digital and said, “I think it’s ridiculous. It's crazy. I just find Mulvaney juvenile… I just can't understand, you know the fact that Mulvaney identifies as trans and is going on this seemingly nauseating campaign of these days of girlhood, is just – I'm just not interested in that.”

‘I don't understand it’

The 55-year-old political activist also said Mulvaney is like “a 5-year-old who's been let loose in a candy store.” She remarked, “Why are marketing departments keen on having this character market their products? I don't understand it. It wouldn't be selling any products to me.”

Besides, Hayton raised her voice against gender reassignment surgery and hormone blockers for children. “These are causing permanent changes to children's bodies before they can possibly understand what it means to be an adult. I've described trans people in my writing as being like a priestly class that can do no wrong… it's ludicrous…To be trans is not seen as a problem or a distressing condition it's almost seen as something to aspire to,” she told Fox News.

She also opposed transgender women participating alongside women in sports. Hayton, who transitioned in 2012, added, “Male and female bodies are different. You can't identify out of male advantage.”

Anheuser-Busch CEO's apology backfires

Earlier, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth issued a statement apologizing for the mess. He reportedly stated, “We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer. My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work, and respect for one another.”

He concluded, “As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage. I care deeply about this country, this company, our brand, and our partners. I spend much of my time traveling across America, listening to and learning from our customers, distributors, and others.”

Budweiser's new ad slammed

Meanwhile, Budweiser, also owned by Anheuser-Busch, seemed to tone down the ongoing controversy by releasing a new ad featuring the famous Clydesdale horse. However, it was also blasted online with a critic saying, “My favorite advertisement by a mile was the Clydesdales after 9/11. It was absolute perfection. After your embrace of the trans agenda, glorifying a man looking for his 15 mins of fame by mocking women. I will never buy, drink or serve your beer again. #BoycottAnheuserBusch.”

Another tweeted, “Hey @Budweiser. What’s next on your agenda after mocking women? Are you going to ridicule disabled veterans? Demand to defund police? Maybe dabble in a little bit of antisemitism?” The third critic added, “No amount Clydesdales and American Flags will fix the damage done with your customers. Nobody will ever forget you used a grown man who dresses like a little girl and mocks women to advertise beer.”
