Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer, recently celebrated her 500th day of publicly identifying as a woman. Despite this milestone, she revealed in a video shared on social media that she is “scaling back” on sharing her “trans joy” to protect her overall well-being. Mulvaney, who gained notoriety for a tie-up with Bud Light, acknowledged the impact of her actions and expressed a need for self-preservation.

In the video, Mulvaney shared insights gained since day 365, including the importance of earning trust and the realization that misery loves company. She also discussed her transition process, noting the positive effects of hormone injections. Mulvaney expressed gratitude for the changes in her body but admitted to struggling with societal pressures to conform to beauty standards and stay silent.

Despite her decision to scale back, Mulvaney affirmed her commitment to advocacy and using her voice. The video, viewed over 603,000 times on Instagram and nearly 4 million times on TikTok, reflects Mulvaney’s resilience in the face of controversy and her determination to navigate her journey authentically.
