A male public defender in Washington state drew criticism for dressing in an exaggeratedly feminine manner with surgically enhanced breasts.
Commentators argued his appearance promoted harmful stereotypes and that a real woman would not be professionally accepted dressing that way.
“This is a man with a fetish for an absurd caricature of the female form that clearly thrives on the attention,” British journalist Darren Grimes said. “Democrat America is nuts.”

“This weird minstrel show ‘woman-face’ is pure misogyny … in offensive stereotype costumes,” X user Yoysher Freyheyt wrote.
“If a real woman showed up to court like that she would not be treated with ‘complete respect and great acceptance,’” another X user wrote.
“I don’t have a problem with the person being trans but that is not proper office attire for a courtroom,” another said.
The defender identified as transgender and said their gender did not impact their legal work, but observers argued their display amounted to a fetish or autogynephilia rather than genuine transgender identity.
“I get good results because I’m a good lawyer. My gender is beside the point,” Mueller said.
Debate centered on whether aggressive promotion of transgender ideology harms children and whether transition-related medical interventions should be discouraged given their irreversible and unproven nature.
