Difference is that “Some Like It Hot” was a legit image classic that is remembered fondly for over 50 to 60. Dylan, due to his facial surgeries and overexposure of his mental stabilities while talking about his dating life, will probably not love long enough to even have the same kind of respect and love that that film had.
Plus, the characters in that movie were meant to be treated as a joke because they dressed up as (and pretended) to be women.
I would add that the movie was build on the striking contrast between a real woman - Marilyn Monroe, and wanna-be women. I remember several scenes from the movie, for instance when she is walking, I think towards a train, when the point was to show how men cannot convincingly pretend they are women.
He's very marketable, simple as. Progressives love him because he acts like a bubbly cartoon character. Everyone else watches his videos the same way they would watch a trainwreck. The end result is that there's lots of eyes on him from both sides of the political aisle and companies think they can profit from it.
I don't know about you, but even with my sometimes trashy taste for vids, I can't really watch his videos. His voice is awful, and his ludicrous pretentiousness is just too much for me. He is so saccharine and corny that I feel like I am getting diabetes just from looking at him.
I think that there is one positive value of this freak-show: it makes it easier to articulate what is wrong with transgenderism. It's its focus on physical, superficial qualities.
Being obsessed with one looks used to be shunned, as a sign of immaturity and narcissism. I don't care what is the cause, it's still should be shunned. I know, I am not saying anything new, but being a woman has nothing to do with make-up, clothes and affectation.
Honestly, if a man told me that he feels like he has a womanly soul, and it would make him follow the stereotype in SPIRITUAL/EMOTIONAL sense - by becoming more caring, focused on relationships etc. I would have absolutely nothing against it.
Similarly, if a woman told me she has a masculine soul and is interested in high-powered career, and conquering the world, I would also have nothing against it. I might think that both are losing something in the process, but they also are free to make this choice.
Transgenderism should be shunned and ridiculed because it's reductive. It diminishes our existence to superficial qualities that are not really important. If an average life-span is about 80 years, we spend only 25% of this time as potentially hot/attractive. The majority of your life is spent in the state where your looks should not be the most important thing, even for the most practical and mundane reason: they are not going to be that great. But most importantly, our lives are too short to focus on transient, external trivialities.
