What happened
New York Magazine has faced criticism for featuring Elliot Page, a transgender-identifying actor, on the cover of its debut 'men's style' issue. Page, who was born Ellen Page and underwent surgery to transition, was chosen by the magazine's editors as a representative of men's style.
The magazine's decision was met with bewilderment and criticism from many online, with some expressing concerns that the choice was not representative of the traditional concept of men's style. Some critics also expressed concern for Page's well-being, stating that the decision to feature them on the cover may be harmful or exploitative.
BlazeTV host Steve Deace responded to the controversy, stating that the decision to feature Page on the cover was a declaration of war and a sign that publications like New York Magazine are not for the general audience, but rather for a specific cultural group. He also stated that the decision was a risky move, as it could be seen as shaking a fist at a higher power.
