The campaign features Lactatia in a sequined onesie. According to House of Mann designer Brandon Hilton, he woke up to several tweets telling him to commit suicide and calling him a pedophile for featuring Lactatia in his campaign.

Conservative blogger Matt Walsh, who thinks trans people are ill, quote tweeted Hilton and said, “I don’t want you to kill yourself but I do want you arrested and jailed for the sexual exploitation of a child, you sick, deranged predator.”
