Who is Dylan Mulvaney?

Dylan Mulvaney is a transgender TikTok influencer who has chronicled her continued transformation and self-growth through her platform.

At just 25, she achieved a wide range of successes, becoming a singer, actress, dancer, comedian, Vinyasa-certified yoga teacher and wildlife rehabilitator, and touring with the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon.

Mulvaney has also appeared on popular television shows including 7th Heaven, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Price is Right.

The Covid-19 pandemic hit while Mulvaney was on the Broadway tour, and when she was sent home to stay with her parents, she wondered what she wanted to do with her time.

Then she came up with the idea of ​​building a TikTok platform to spark a conversation about gender.

“I finally started asking myself these gender questions,” Mulvaney told GirlBoss. “I had never asked myself these dark questions because when I was four years old I tried to come out as a girl to my mother, but at the time it just wasn’t a thing. Being trans was very taboo.”

She continued, “I’m from a very conservative part of California — and no fault of my family’s, it just wasn’t really in the cards for me.

“Then I was back home during the pandemic, living with my family, and I was like, ‘Dylan, do you feel like a boy?’ It was really during this unemployment period that I finally asked myself, ‘Who am I without this career?’”

Did Dylan Mulvaney Have Facial Feminization Surgery?

Mulvaney underwent facial feminization surgery in mid-December, which she kept her followers up to date on her TikTok account.

She revealed her “new” face on January 27, 2023.

Facial feminization is a set of procedures that ultimately soften facial features.

She shared on TikTok that in 2023 she wants to be more of an activist for women and feminism.

She said, “I just want to learn more this year because I feel like I was thrown into this activist role before I was ready.”

“And I want to make sure I have all the tools and resources that I can and step into the background and really learn and know what’s going on.”

When did Dylan Mulvaney start her trans journey?

Mulvaney began her trans journey during the Covid-19 pandemic as discussed above.

Mulvaney started by building a TikTok following, but eventually made the switch with her Days of Girlhood series, in which she hosted a gender reveal party herself.

She shared her entire journey with those on TikTok from day one, revealing the start of her transition and seeking support.

Mulvaney told the outlet of starting her transition, “It’s been very scary because ultimately I’m just trying to have women on my side and feel supported by them.

“…There’s a lot of pressure because I have this following now where I have to do and say the right thing, but at the same time I’m still so new to my journey that I just don’t have all the answers.

“And I think that’s part of my content: my followers are experiencing these things for the first time with me.”
