'For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse, in my opinion, than not hiring a trans person at all — because it gives customers permission to be as transphobic and hateful as they want. ...'
Adding that while the story"might sound like old news," Dylan said that she felt as if she has"something uncomfy sitting on [her] chest." She explained,"I took a brand deal with a company that I loved, and I posted a sponsored video to my page. And it must have been a slow news week, because the way that this ad got blown up, you would have thought I was on a billboard, or on a TV commercial, or something major — but no, it was just an Instagram video.
"You might be thinking, 'Dylan, why bring it up now?' I'm bringing it up, because what transpired from that video was more bullying and transphobia than I could have ever imagined. I should have made this video months ago, but I didn't. I was scared. I was scared of more backlash. And I felt personally guilty for what transpired, so I patiently waited for things to get better. But, surprise, they haven't really.
Turning their attention to Bud Light, they continued,"For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse, in my opinion, than not hiring a trans person at all — because it gives customers permission to be as transphobic and hateful as they want. And the hate doesn't end with me, it has serious and grave consequences for the rest of our community.""You know, we're customers, too," Dylan said.
