Dylan Mulvaney named ‘Woman of the Year’ by U.K. magazine.
Award-Winning Trans TikTok Star Named “Woman of The Year”
A magazine in the United Kingdom and Europe that celebrates LGBTQ issues has honored trans-identifying male Dylan Mulvaney as its ”Woman of The Year” at the prestigious 2023 annual awards show.
The Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards, sponsored by Virgin Atlantic airlines, served as the backdrop for this momentous occasion. The host of the awards show proudly announced Mulvaney as the deserving recipient of the “Woman of the Year” title.
As Mulvaney took the stage, he greeted the audience in London and expressed his deep gratitude for the honor bestowed upon him. In his acceptance speech, the influential social media star took a bold stance against those who refuse to acknowledge his womanhood, including what he referred to as “extremist media.”

“Receiving this honor from a queer publication like Attitude means so much more to me,” Mulvaney shared with the audience. “No matter how hard I try or what others may say, I will never conform to their narrow definition of womanhood.”
He continued, “But as long as I have the support of the queer community, who see me for who I truly am, I will be okay.”
Earlier this year, Mulvaney faced backlash when he partnered with Bud Light to promote their beer. The controversy led to a widespread boycott of the brand, resulting in plummeting sales.
Mulvaney recently spoke out about the hate he received and emphasized the importance of genuine partnerships with trans-identified individuals, rather than performative marketing tactics. He expressed this sentiment during the 2023 Forbes CMO Summit in Miami, where he urged companies to stand by their trans spokespersons in times of adversity.

Mulvaney, who has amassed a significant following on the popular social media platform TikTok, has been an outspoken advocate for transgender rights and visibility. Through his engaging and informative content, he has helped educate individuals and challenge societal norms surrounding gender identity.
Receiving the ”Woman of the Year” honor serves as a significant milestone in Mulvaney’s journey towards acceptance and inclusivity. It highlights the progress made by the LGBTQ community and represents a step forward in breaking down barriers and tackling prejudice.
However, it is important to acknowledge that this recognition may also spark controversy and criticism from those who do not subscribe to the notion of transgender women being recognized as women. Mulvaney’s acceptance speech, therefore, had a twofold purpose – to thank his supporters and to address those who attempt to invalidate his identity.
By proudly asserting his womanhood and confronting opposition, Mulvaney serves as a role model for countless individuals struggling with their own gender identity. His award-winning TikTok content enables trans individuals worldwide to feel seen, heard, and validated.
The acknowledgment of Mulvaney as “Woman of the Year” at the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards represents a triumph for the transgender community. It signifies a growing acceptance and recognition of trans people, their contributions to society, and their ability to inspire change.
As society continues to progress, it is crucial to embrace and celebrate identities that have historically been marginalized or ignored. The recognition of Dylan Mulvaney as “Woman of the Year” is a testament to the power of representation and the importance of embracing diversity.
It is hoped that Mulvaney’s honor will serve as a catalyst for positive change, encouraging further acceptance and inclusivity for trans individuals in all aspects of society. The ”Woman of the Year” title bestowed upon him not only recognizes his personal achievements but also reaffirms the fundamental right of every individual to be seen and celebrated for their authentic self.
Going forward, it is essential for society to continue advocating for transgender rights and visibility. By amplifying the voices of trans individuals like Dylan Mulvaney, we can work towards a future where gender identity is respected, accepted, and celebrated by all.
