Who is Dylan Mulvaney ? The answer to this question has been buzzing on social media and headlines recently, as this well-known TikTok influencer and trans advocate continues to make waves in the LGBTQ community. Let's get to know her a bit better.
Dylan Mulvaney, a trans woman, was recently crowned " Woman of The Year " by a prominent British LGBTQ magazine, and the prestigious accolade was presented at the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards in the United Kingdom. This remarkable event, organized by LGBTQ publication " Attitude " and sponsored by Virgin Atlantic , celebrated Dylan's inspiring journey.
In a tweet, Attitude magazine declared, "Dylan Mulvaney is our Woman of the Year, supported by @VirginAtlantic." In response, Dylan expressed her gratitude, saying, "Knowing that my community sees me this way and acknowledges my womanhood is all I need to keep going."
At the award ceremony, Dylan stood on the podium, reflecting on the fact that it had been just "560 days" since she publicly came out as a trans woman. She shared her feelings in a heartfelt speech, saying, "I'm so honored to be here with you all tonight. Some see me as the woman of the year, some see me as a woman of a year... as I only publicly came out online 560 days ago."
Dylan Mulvaney, born on December 29, 1996, initially embarked on her career in theatre, gaining recognition as a cast member of the hit musical "The Book of Mormon ." However, with the pandemic limiting in-person interactions, she shifted her focus to TikTok in 2020, where she began sharing her experiences and wisdom as a queer individual.
As her TikTok following grew, she officially came out as a trans woman in March 2022, explaining that she had previously come out as nonbinary during the pandemic. However, she soon realized her true identity as a woman, acknowledging the inner child within her who had known this for years.
Her popular TikTok series, "Days of Girlhood," documents her journey towards embracing her femininity. Since her coming out, Dylan has consistently made headlines for various reasons, including both acclaim and controversy.
One memorable collaboration saw her partnering with Bud Light , where the brand featured her face on their cans to celebrate her one-year anniversary of embracing her womanhood. The campaign sparked controversy, with some boycotting the brand and significant financial repercussions.
Nonetheless, it's not all been tumultuous for the 26-year-old influencer. She was recently honored as the " Breakout Creator " at the Streamy Awards in 2023, a testament to her growing influence. Additionally, she made a striking appearance at New York Fashion Week, further solidifying her presence in the fashion world.
And now, with the title of 'Woman of the Year,' Dylan Mulvaney's journey continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide. Her success seems boundless, and her story serves as a symbol of resilience, self-discovery, and the power of authenticity.
