pretty sure they're okay with women getting boob implants, though.

Idk, the #1 thing people said behind Dolly Parton's back and held against her was that she had fake tits.

People are awful. If there’s nothing that they can be mean about, they’ll make shit up. I suspect most of that was more because she was rich/famous/influential in her own right rather than being tied to a husband.

(though she’s married. I looked it up outta curiosity. He doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page…

Dolly's husband has never been a part of her public persona. He's always been in the background and almost everyone has respected his/her choice on the matter.

absolutely true but Dolly Parton did not have to face transphobic harassment and violence

very very very important distinction

That one did oddly enough draw less of a stink, though it did still get whispered about when it suited one’s purpose.
