Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney won the Woman of the Year award from British magazine Attitude.
“Dylan Mulvaney is our Woman of the Year, supported by @VirginAtlantc,” the magazine wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Mulvaney responded to the post, saying, “Knowing that my community sees me this way and acknowledges my womanhood is all I need to keep going.”
Mulvaney posted her acceptance speech on social media.
“Some people don’t see me as a woman at all, which is why receiving this honor from a queer publication like Attitude means so much more to me,” Mulvaney said. “No matter how hard I try or what I wear, or what I say, or what surgeries I get, I will never reach an acceptable version of womanhood by those hateful people’s standards. But as long as I have the queer community that sees me for my truth, I’m gonna be ok.”
Mulvaney made headlines this year when she partnered with Bud Light as part of a campaign. The decision sparked much criticism, resulting in a sharp decline in sales for the brand.
Predictably, the move stirred a fierce debate on social media. One user wrote: “Seriously? Dylan Mulvaney is woman of the year? Glad that is such an unimportant award from an unheard of magazine.”
Conservative commentator Candace Owens wrote: “Unbelievable. Dylan Mulvaney wins ‘Woman Of The Year Award.’”
