Early life[edit]
Mulvaney was assigned male at birth.[5] She was born on December 29, 1996, in San Diego, California.
She began her professional acting career in 2015. Mulvaney first significant role was in the musical Book of Mormon.[6]
Days of Girlhood[edit]
Mulvaney has documented her transition journey in a daily series of TikTok videos.[7] Dylan said in an interview "When the pandemic hit, I was doing the Broadway musical Book of Mormon. I found myself jobless and without the creative means to do what I loved. I downloaded TikTok, assuming it was a kids’ app. Once I came out as a woman, I made this “day one of being a girl” comedic video. And it blew up. I really don’t know another place online like TikTok that can make a creator grow at the rate that it does. Some of these other apps really celebrate perfection and over-editing and flawlessness. I think with TikTok specifically, people love the rawness. They love people just talking to the camera. I try to approach every video like a FaceTime with a friend."[1]
Criticism[edit]
Dylan Mulvaney's Days of Girlhood has been extensively criticised by conservative critics for appropriating womanhood and treating her gender transition as a form of a human costume.[8][9] Members of the LGBT community have dismissed such criticisms as rooted in transphobia.[10][11][12]
Meeting with President Joe Biden[edit]
In October 2022, Mulvaney met with United States President Joe Biden. When asked by Mulvaney about anti-transgender laws Biden described them as immoral.[13]
