The social media star reflected on her journey and her recent Bud Light controversy, thanking the LGBTQ+ community for having her back.

Dylan Mulvaney celebrated her 500th day since coming out as a woman with a poignant and powerful message shared to Instagram.

The social media influencer reflected on her journey, especially on the 135 days since her one year anniversary of transitioning, which—as we all remember—brought significant transphobic vitriol after Bud Light helped her commemorate the milestone.


After Bud Light gifted the star with custom cans featuring her face, transphobes responded with outrage, boycotts, threats, bans, destruction and even shooting at cases of the beer all in response to allyship and celebration.

In her video, Mulvaney shared:

“On day 398 I learned that misery loves company. I think a lot of people have difficulty seeing others happy and successful, especially when they don’t fit the standard of the patriarchy."

She added pain looks and feels different for everyone but hopes one day we can "do things differently and connect in real ways."

“We spend so much time pointing out our differences that we have not been able to share our similarities.”

Mulvaney also explained since her one-year anniversary, she's learned who her true "loved ones" are.

She added:

"You know who came through for me these last few months... It was trans people and queer people."
"A lot of [whom] saw all of this coming, because they knew what it was like to be burned and I didn't."
"I gave myself and my identify to people who didn't deserve it. Then the trans and queer community was there to pick me back up without pity."
"Thank God for that."

Mulvaney also had a message for her younger self:

“Today, on [day] 500, is dedicated to my younger self who didn’t get to celebrate so many awesome discoveries because I was just hoping to get by."
"Today is actually day 9705 of being a woman, because I've always been one."
"My four-year-old self knew that, my 10-year-old self knew that and my 15-year-old self knew that and they deserve to celebrate these wins, too."

Happy 500 days, Dylan!
