Mulvaney’s case highlights the growing visibility of trans figures in pop culture as they fight for representation and inclusion amid anti-trans bias.
in Musical Theater at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in 2019, Mulvaney earned a part in her first Broadway show.the role of Elder White in “The Book of Mormon,” a theatrical production by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the television show “South Park.” The role had her traveling across the United States, Canada and Mexico until the pandemic forced the tour to pause.
It was during lockdown that Mulvaney began posting TikTok videos and exploring her identity as an actress, she“[The pandemic] was the first moment since I was a child that I really got to ask myself, like, ‘Dylan, like, who are you without acting and without playing a boy part?’” Mulvaney said. “[Before that] I put so much of my own identity away just so that I could have opportunities in my industry.”promoting Bud Light as part of a partnership with the beer.
“As she’s become more successful, there’s been more attention from the right-wing media [who] seem very upset by the idea that she’s become popular for a series that’s focused on the trans experience and trans joy,” Drennen said.Drennen notes that Mulvaney has been a longtime target of right-wing attacks since she came out as a trans woman and began to amass a large following. Some of Mulvaney’s critics have cast their trolling of her as an almost noble act, Drennen said.
“This has been a pretty effective way to weaponize vitriol on the internet by telling trolls what they’re doing is actually good — by getting trans people to, I guess, abandon this ‘delusion,’” she said. “It’s all a concentrated effort to prevent trans people from gaining a foothold in popular culture.”
A representative for Mulvaney did not respond to a request for comment Thursday, though Anheuser-Busch, Bud Light’s parent company, has defended its partnership with her. The brand “works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics,” a spokesperson for the company said in a statement.Mulvaney shot to fame during her raucously popular “Days of Girlhood” TikTok series.
