Part 5/14:

This event taps into broader trends of celebrity narcissism and media sensationalism. Tyson’s reveal is compared to the Caitlyn Jenner interview—an instance heavily rooted in celebrity self-promotion and societal personas. The critique points to the phenomenon of influencers leveraging their identities as a currency for attention, social validation, and career opportunities. The interview's format, where questions are either affirming or focus solely on Tyson’s transition, reflects a wider culture of affirmation where dissent or questioning is discouraged or deemed as transphobic.
