Dylan Mulvaney Is Living Her Best Life Despite Bud Light Backlash

Emell Adolphus READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Despite having her very existence create a conservative firestorm, trans influencer and TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney seems to be living her best life, and we salute her.

Let's recap. After Mulvaney received some commemorative cans of Bud Light with her face on them, celebrating her transition, Kid Rock and other conservatives reacted with outrage.

Howard Stern and Rosie O'Donnell weighed in on the situation and pointed out that there is no real point to the conservative outrage, with Stern pointing out that LGBTQ people like beer too.

"I thought there must be a piece of this story that I'm missing," said Stern.

We feel the same, but let's continue because the outrage hasn't stopped there. A "Burn Bra Challenge" sparked on TikTok, also ignited by conservatives, because of Mulvaney's partnership with Nike.

A user who described herself as a "Southern Mama" said she was "sick and tired" of Nike "pushing us around" before burning her sports bra and encouraging others to join in the viral challenge, the New York Post reported.

"All you real women out there – we are in the fight of all fights," the woman who goes by the TikTok handle "chatterbox.mama" said to her more than 140,000 followers on Tuesday. "Since the 1960s, we have been fighting for the right to be women."

Mulvaney, however, seems to be keeping a low profile. The Daily Mail caught up with her while she was running errands, and the influencer looked fabulously carefree in a Burberry outfit.

"I have tried to be the most uncontroversial person this past year and somehow it has made me controversial still," Mulvaney told O'Donnell during a chat for O'Donnell's podcast. "I think it comes back to the fact that these people, they don't understand me and anything that I do or say then somehow gets taken out of context and is used against me. It's so sad because everything I try to put out is positive, it's trying to connect with others that maybe don't understand me, it's to make people laugh or make a kid feel seen."

During her day out, Mulvaney was asked questions by paparazzi, and she responded simply with: "I am thriving."

Go girl!
