<\/p>\n
Dylan Mulvaney<\/a> is addressing the transphobic criticism<\/a> surrounding her recent brand partnerships.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the past couple of weeks, the 26-year-old trans influencer has been subject to an overwhelming amount of backlash<\/a> from right-wing conservatives, many of whom have been trotting out their extremely hateful views in response to her new Nike<\/a> and Bud Light<\/a> sponsorships. And while Mulvaney has (rightfully) stayed away from any direct engagement with the bigots, she’s now opening up about singlehandedly sending transphobes into a complete spiral and how she’s been grappling with the difficult situation in a candid conversation with comedian Rosie O’Donnell. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “The reason I think I’m an easy target is because I’m still new to this,” Mulvaney explained on the latest episode of the Onward With Rosie O’ Donnell<\/a> <\/em>podcast. “I think going after a trans woman who has been doing this for 20 years is a lot more difficult. Maybe they think there’s some sort of chance with me that they can.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n She went on to muse, “But I mean, what is their goal?”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And while Mulvaney reassured fans that she wasn’t letting the online hate affect her, she did acknowledge that the issue has highlighted how scary things have become, especially amid a growing wave<\/a> of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not worried about the people talking about me on their podcasts, I\u2019m worried about their listeners,\u201d the TikTok star continued. \u201cAnd I also think that, it\u2019s just a heavy time. And it\u2019s time to step up, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mulvaney first came to transphobes’ attention after sharing a promotional video<\/a> for Bud Light on her Instagram, as well as a custom can featuring an image of her face, which was created to celebrate the completion of her “365 Days of Girlhood<\/a>” series. As a result, conservatives have been boycotting the brand<\/a>, though the irony is that all the beers they’ve switched to are also supporters of the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sadly though, Mulvaney has also been attacked for her recent partnership with Nike, drawing criticism<\/a> from former Olympian and fellow trans woman Caitlyn Jenner<\/a>, who accused the athletic clothing brand of going “so woke.” That said, both brands have stood by their decision to work with Mulvaney, with Bud Light issuing a statement<\/a> about their desire to “authentically connect with audiences across various demographics” and Nike posting an appeal<\/a> on social media to “be kind” and refrain from hate speech or bullying.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
