Dylan Mulvaney reveals that she first realized she wanted to be a girl at the age of 4. Determined to make her dream a reality, she embarked on a transformation journey.
By sharing her experience on social media, she unexpectedly became a trans icon. The influencer took a role she never anticipated for herself.
Dylan Mulvaney is a professional actress, comedian, and transgender rights activist.
In 2020, she found herself out of work and unable to pursue her passion.
When she downloaded TikTok, thinking, “It’s an app for kids.”
After coming out as a woman, she launched her popular series, Day X of Being a Girl.
There she openly documented her transition journey for her audience.
She had no idea how making videos would change her life
Though many people share their trans journeys online, Mulvaney had never seen one that started from the very beginning.
So, she decided to take matters into her own hands by creating videos, initially meant for her close family and friends. Before long, her videos evolved into both a how-to guide and a behind-the-scenes look at transitioning, offering support for present and future trans individuals seeking answers.
Despite this focus, her content is for everyone, not just the LGBTQAI+ community.
According to Mulvaney, the best part is seeing people feel inspired to be themselves, along with receiving thousands of messages filled with hope, acceptance, and support. The love she gets keeps her spirits high.
Mulvaney’s approach feels like a FaceTime call with your best friend.
Her direct, one-on-one style of addressing the camera, paired with her authentic storytelling of daily experiences, creates an instant connection with her viewers.
Recently, the activist underwent facial feminization surgery
Facial feminization surgery includes a variety of procedures designed to alter the shape of the face, making it appear more feminine.
This can involve moving the hairline to create a smaller forehead, augmenting the lips and cheeks, or reshaping the nose, chin, and jaw. These techniques help transgender women physically transition to their self-affirmed gender.
After a brief break from social media, Mulvaney made an impressive return, debuting her new look at the 2023 Grammy Awards, and the results are undeniable. Just take a look below.
Mulvaney acknowledges how fortunate she is to have undergone the procedure and emphasizes that it is not a typical surgery.
She says, “Had I not been trans, these wouldn’t have been changes that I sought out, but because of my gender dysphoria, I felt I needed it. I want us to all start viewing FFS as important as other gender-affirming healthcare.”
Recently, Dylan was named “Woman of the Year” by Attitude, an LGBTQ magazine.
She was also included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
Despite her success, Dylan continues to face hate. After updating her passport to officially reflect her female gender, she once again encountered a wave of negativity.
However, Dylan knows how to handle the backlash and not let it affect her. She’s happy to be who she is today.
“And I want there to be a mutual respect — and not only for me, but also for my community,” she said.
