Dylan Mulvaney (born December 29, 1996) is an American actor and transgender rights activist known for detailing his[a] gender transition in daily videos on the social media platform TikTok. As of 2023, she has over 10 million followers on TikTok[2] and the video series, titled Days of Girlhood, has received over one billion views.[3]

Early life and education

Dylan Mulvaney was born on December 29, 1996.[4] She graduated from the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music[5] in 2019 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in musical theater.[6]

Career

2015–2020: Early acting roles

Mulvaney's first significant role was playing the character Elder White[3] in the musical The Book of Mormon[7][8] following her graduation from college.[3] Other roles included How The Grinch Stole Christmas! at the Old Globe Theatre; 8: The Play at the Birch North Park Theatre; Next to Normal at Arts Off Broadway; Legally Blonde; Spring Awakening; Bye Bye Birdie; and High School Musical at ACT San Diego.[9]

2021–present: Transition and activism

Mulvaney came out as a trans woman during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][1] Starting in March 2022, she has documented her gender transition in a daily series of videos published on TikTok titled "Days of Girlhood".[10][11] She said in an interview:

"When the pandemic hit, I was doing the Broadway musical Book of Mormon. I found myself jobless and without the creative means to do what I loved. I downloaded TikTok, assuming it was a kids’ app. Once I came out as a woman, I made this "day one of being a girl" comedic video. And it blew up. I really don't know another place online like TikTok that can make a creator grow at the rate that it does. Some of these other apps really celebrate perfection and over-editing and flawlessness. I think with TikTok specifically, people love the rawness. They love people just talking to the camera. I try to approach every video like a FaceTime with a friend."[10]

In October 2022, Mulvaney appeared with genderfluid hairstylist David Lopez in a podcast for the cosmetics brand Ulta Beauty, during which she spoke about her childhood, her coming out as transgender, and her transition.[12][13][14] According to Forbes staff writer Marisa Dellatto, the video led to the appearance of the hashtag #BoycottUlta in Twitter's "Trending Topics" section and resulted in "some calling Mulvaney’s claims she can live happily as a woman 'misogynistic' and others misgendering her."[15]

Later that October, Mulvaney met with president Joe Biden for a "presidential forum" for the online news organization NowThis News.[16][17] When asked by Mulvaney about recent legislation restricting gender-affirming care for transgender youth by Republican-led legislatures, Biden described them as "outrageous" and "immoral".[16] NBC News reported that, following her meeting with Biden, Mulvaney became the target of a "vitriol campaign" by "right-wing activists".[18] Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn shared a tweet in which she attached a TikTok video created by Mulvaney and said that "Dylan Mulvaney, Joe Biden, and radical left-wing lunatics want to make this absurdity normal".[18] Media personality Caitlyn Jenner, who is also a transgender woman, wrote on Twitter that she agreed with Blackburn's remarks and called Mulvaney's video an "absurdity".[17][19] Several days later, Mulvaney posted a video to TikTok in which she responded to Jenner's comments and explained how she was prompted to respond because Jenner had misgendered her: "Not you [Jenner] calling me a he! That is just ... terrible. But then you didn't stop there."[20]

In December 2022, Mulvaney confirmed on Instagram that he had undertaken facial feminization surgery.[21] He posted an image of his face on Instagram on January 27,[22] and made her debut on the red carpet at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards on February 5, 2023.[23][24]

On February 28, 2023, Mulvaney accepted a Queerties Groundbreaker Award in Hollywood.[25]

Mulvaney will host a livestreamed variety show at the Rainbow Room in New York City on March 13, 2023, one year after starting her TikTok video series Days of Girlhood, with L Morgan Lee and Reneé Rapp guest starring.[26]
