Who Is Dylan Mulvaney? 7 Things To Know About The Actor And Activist

On Dylan Mulvaney's TikTok, you'll see everything from a glam sesh with "Queer Eye's" Jonathan Van Ness to meeting her idol and fellow trans actor and activist, Laverne Cox, at the Grammys. Being in the public eye, the influencer has managed to develop a thick skin, but there's one thing she won't tolerate. After documenting every day of her year-long transition, Mulvaney had a strong reaction to an online troll who ridiculed her journey in a series of videos.

In a September 2022, Mulvaney began her response by apologizing for not reaching out sooner as she was auditioning for film roles and walking the runway at New York Fashion Week. (In other words, she has better things to do.) "You're doing all those things to mock me. More specifically, you just ... hate trans people," Mulvaney said. "You can make fun of my voice or my outfits or my personality as much as you want, but you don't get to mock my identity." Mulvaney concluded with a warning to the aspiring comedian. "I'm okay right now. ... I feel pretty happy, but if you had made this video while I was maybe depressed or god forbid suicidal, that could be really effed up and that would be on you," she said, adding, "I really think that you should find something else to put this energy into ... that can be enjoyed by more people than just transphobic people."

In any case, Mulvaney remains a sought-after brand ambassador who could be earning $100,000 or more every month. It seems like she's having the last laugh.
