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!

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

People Describe The Worst 'Bonus' They've Ever Gotten At Work

Most of us have worked at one problematic workplace, with reasons ranging from toxic coworkers to terrible bosses to unlivable pay. Sometimes, it feels like a joke that the employees are even being paid at all!

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
