Dylan Mulvaney On the Hardest Thing She’s Ever Done

I was making jokes and having the time of my life. And I didn't realize how they were kind of, I was their diversity hire. You know, a lot of these companies had never worked with a trans person before. And I think that was special, you know, when they did it right. And when they kind of let me make content that felt separate from my identity.

At times, I think because I was comparing myself to these other influencers that were cis girls online that were doing the same brand deals and going to the same events, and I would sometimes forget that I couldn't operate the same way they did and be as comfortable as they did because I didn't hold that level of privilege.

I have what I believe to be probably the highest level of privilege as a trans woman in this world, but it's still not... what some of these other girls can get away with. And so I love beer. I always have. It's kind of been like my go-to. And it was funny.

I even just a few weeks ago, a friend sent me a video of me shotgunning a beer when I was probably, you know, 21 in the backyard of like a college frat party. And I was like, see, I did take it for the right reason. But I took the gig not for one second thinking, oh, this could go south.

You know, I would have never signed up for something that would potentially cause me pain or the community pain or even a brand. If I thought this was going to negatively affect a brand, I wouldn't have done it. I thought this was going to be great for everyone. So I posted one video, was fine. Carried on with my life. This was right after my first year of transition.
