Trans activist and TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney said that her TikTok was once a pretty safe space, but became a culture war in the comments following conservative outrage over her partnership with Bud Light in early April.

In an episode of the Dear Schuyler podcast this week, Mulvaney said the criticism has impacted her sleep and emphasized that she speaks as much now on her platform for the people who value her.

Whats sad is my page for like a second was a pretty safe space, and then it sortve recently has become this like culture war in the comments, Mulvaney told Schuyler Bailar, the first openly trans swimmer in NCAA Division 1 history.

Mulvaneys partnership with Bud Light attracted a firestorm of criticism from Republicans . Kid Rock posted a video shooting Bud Light cans, while Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) called for a boycott of the beer.

Mulvaney broke her weekslong silence on TikTok in late April, when she remarked that dehumanization has never fixed anything in history ever .

Mulvaney told Bailar that prior to the recent surge in criticism, one person disliking her used to keep her up at night.

Now there are hundreds of thousands of people that do not like me and I still sometimes cant sleep, Mulvaney said.

It, in a weird way, has been a blessing to sort of break that people-pleasing mentality because I cant, theres no way that I can win those people over, she continued. And I actually if youll go back to some of my earlier videos I was like pleading with these people. I was like, what can I say to show them a different part of myself?

You can hear more of Mulvaneys conversation with Bailar in the video below.

Dylan Mulvaney got her start on Broadway as a part of the cast of the musical Book of Mormon, but her public profile rose in 2022 when she began documenting her transition on TikTok as part of her \"Days of Girlhood.\" Since then, she's appeared on numerous talk shows like the Drew Barrymore Show, and even had the chance to speak with President Biden at the White House about trans rights. Mulvaney shares her experiences of coming out, navigating the entertainment industry, and dealing with the media attention that comes with being a visible trans person. We explore the challenges she has faced, as well as the opportunities that have arisen from being a trailblazer in the industry. They discuss how to find joy in the midst of hate, the importance of representation and visibility for the transgender community, how to survive and thrive, and the work she's doing to help create a more inclusive and accepting world. \n\n If you have a question for Schuyler, send him a voice memo on Instagram @pinkmantaray, or go to http://dearschuyler.com\n\n Want the full, extended version of this conversation?
