Controversial transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has been awarded by UK gay magazine “Attitude” as its very first “Woman of the Year.”
The 26-year-old self-styled “trans beer girl” — after the uproar sparked by her paid partnership with Bud Light — appears in a feathery white shoulderless gown and braided hair crown on the pink cover of the magazine’s awards issue.
He also took to the stage Wednesday to accept his award at the mag’s ceremony.
“Some see me as woman of the year — some see me as a woman of a year and some change,” Mulvaney quipped, noting that he “only publicly come out online 560 days ago.”
“And some people don’t see me as a woman at all,” he said. “No matter how hard I try, or what I wear, or what I say, or what surgeries I get, I will never reach an acceptable version of womanhood by those ‘hateful’ people’s standards.”
“But as long as the queer community sees me for my truth, I’m going to be OK,” he added.
