For those not in the know, Mulvaney is a trans actress who documented her gender transition on TikTok starting in 2022. An attractive, bubbly presence who never seemed to have a bad day, she gained a huge following and was even invited to speak with President Joe Biden at the White House. During Pride Month, Bud Light sent her cans of beer with rainbows on them, and she drank some on camera.
And I think that’s what drives the right-wing crazy about her. Joe Rogan called her a “mentally ill attention ” who had ruined a brand of beer for “blue-collar” Americans. Ben Shapiro said she was an “attention-seeking narcissist who wants everyone to give money.” Candace Owens just accused Mulvaney of making up the death threats she had received after the partnership with Bud Light.
The majority of the hate, though, I think comes from the fact that Mulvaney is the living embodiment of trans joy. For years, trans people and allies have sought to win hearts through empathy. We’ve pointed out the terrible effects of untreated gender dysphoria and social discrimination, often harping on the increased rate of substance abuse, poverty, and suicide.
What that narrative fails to capture is the sheer euphoria of finding your place on the gender spectrum. Mulvaney is ecstatic about who she is and what it means. Transitioning has made her life immeasurably better. I remember when she got her facial feminization surgery, watching her smile even when it clearly hurt to do so. The sheer sparkle coming off that woman was like a sea of fireflies. I haven’t seen a strut like thatMulvaney is an avatar of the next phase of trans acceptance: happiness.
