Instagram Lets Trans Musician Post Banned Content

Trans-identified musician Ethel Cain is catching heat for posting risque bedroom photos which clearly show his male genitalia on Instagram despite clear community guidelines prohibiting this type of nudity.  The 28-year-old creator first posted the images on Thursday. The post originally had no content warning, but sometime prior to Saturday received a blurred “sensitive content” warning which can be circumvented with a single click by account holders of any age. Per Instagram community guidelines, nudity is “not allowed” on the platform, with exceptions being made only for breastfeeding, post-mastectomy scarring, and nudity appearing in sculptures or paintings. Meta did not immediately reply to The Daily Wire’s request for comment. Cain, whose real name is Hayden Anhedönia, has courted controversy before. He was born and raised in a Southern Baptist household and rebelled hard after turning 18, “transitioning” into a woman and beginning to create music with a dark aesthetic.  Album releases “Inbred,” “Preacher’s Daughter” and “Willoughby Tucker, I Will Always Love You” involve violent, disturbing lyrics with taboo themes including incest, abusive religious practices, and demonic possession. The singer was called out for wearing a “legalize incest” t-shirt and using a real missing poster for a murdered child, repurposed with his own name, to promote his music. Cain apologized for wearing the shirt and for using the “n” word in the past, but at the same time defended the concept of subversive “art.”  “‘Regarding the topic of incest in my artwork, it’s a layered experience,” he wrote as part of a lengthy statement. “I have always been interested in creating art centered around the taboo.” “While sometimes the topic of incest may get intermingled on a song with my own experiences of sexual abuse or my own familial traumas, I have never and would never fetishize such a sensitive subject,” the statement continued. Predictably, Cain’s defenders accused any dissension about the graphic photos as being “transphobic.” “No, Ethel Cain is not sexually harassing you by posting her d*ck. You’re just transphobic and also weird about non-sexual nudity,” one X commenter wrote.
