Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has been honored by UK magazine “Attitude” as its very first “Woman of the Year.”
As many are aware, the 26-year-old had sparked major controversy over her paid partnership with Bud Light. Amid all the heavy criticism and backlash, she was praised for staying fearless and true to herself.
The TikToker took to the stage Wednesday to accept her award at the magazine’s ceremony. While there, she gave a moving speech. She said, “Some see me as woman of the year — some see me as a woman of a year and some change.” She went on to note that she “only publicly come out online 560 days ago. And some people don’t see me as a woman at all. 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,” she said of her haters. Now, speaking of people who don’t seem to be here for her, controversial commentator Candace Owens shared her reaction to Mulvaney award. She tweeted this Friday,
“A man wins woman of the year. Absolutely incredible. LOL.”

Earlier this year, Owens also slammed Mulvaney after the actress accused Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, of turning “a blind eye” to the transphobic attacks she endured following her collaboration with the brand.
Mulvaney said at the time, “I was waiting for the brand to reach out to me, but they never did. And for months now, I’ve been scared to leave my house,” she said. “I have been ridiculed in public. I’ve been followed. And I have felt a loneliness that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. If this is my experience from a very privileged perspective, know that it is much, much worse for other trans people.”
She 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. And we’re customers, too. I know a lot of trans and queer people who love beer.”
In response, Owens said, “No one threatened to kill Dylan Mulvaney. We threatened to (and made good on) no longer drinking Bud Light,” Owens tweeted in reaction. “I’m so sick of the ‘trans community’ pretending they are black people surviving the klan in the 1920’s—while [they] shake their fake implants on the White House lawn.”
Despite that, Mulvaney has tried her best to remain positive through for all. Mulvaney is one of a number of winners at the 2023 Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards.
