The eminent American singer Lady Gaga is extremely popular among fans for her numerous chart-topping singles. However, the singer has recently been in talks not for her musical prowess but for her stand with Dylan Mulvaney. Mulvaney, a transgender woman recently faced unexpected backlash for celebrating the occasion of International Women’s Day.
The controversy was created due to an Instagram post Mulvaney made with Lady Gaga on Women’s Day. The tension escalated as fans expressed their disagreement with Mulvaney about the perceived context of her post. Yet, the unwavering stance of the American singer alongside Mulvaney gracefully shifted the narrative of the controversy.
Lady Gaga Defends Dylan Mulvaney Amid Social Media Backlash
Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender woman posted a photo with the famous singer Lady Gaga last Friday to celebrate International Women’s Day. But what caught Gaga’s attention the most was the reception of this particular post. Social media users expressed profound disdain towards Mulvaney for asserting her identity as a woman after having been biologically male.
However, the famous musician Lady Gaga stood against the appalling reception of the post. Gaga specifically criticized the media’s portrayal of the scenario.
Lady Gaga wrote on Instagram,
“It’s appalling to me that a post about National Women’s Day by Dylan Mulvaney and me would be met with such vitriol and hatred. When I see a newspaper reporting on hatred but calling it ‘backlash’ I feel it is important to clarify that hatred is hatred, and this kind of hatred is violence. ‘Backlash’ would imply that people who love or respect Dylan and me didn’t like something we did. This is not backlash. This is hatred.”
Through her perspective, Gaga explicitly mentioned the boundary between backlash and violence. Furthermore, Gaga also points out the need to make a better and easier world for the transgender community through her Instagram post.
The multi-Grammy winner further mentioned,
“But it is not surprising given the immense work that it’s obvious we still have to do as a society to make room for transgender lives to be cherished and upheld by all of us. I feel very protective in this moment, not only of Dylan, but of the trans community who continues to lead the way with their endless grace and inspiration in the face of constant degradation, intolerance, and physical, verbal, and mental violence.”
Lady Gaga’s steadfast support for Dylan Mulvaney highlights her stance on important social issues. Through supporting Mulvaney she not only tried to justify Mulvaney but also stands in solidarity with the entire transgender community. Gaga firmly demands peace and comfort for every transgender individual, just as for anybody else.

However, this was not the first time, Mulvaney faced such disgusting backlash. Previously, Mulvaney showed her bravery by sharing her transition journey with her followers. But, the online bullies didn’t sit back even then.
Dylan Mulvaney told Today,
“I really struggle with the people that don’t think I should be doing these things or think that what I’m doing is evil or that. I’m very sensitive and I think because my now job is online for millions of people watching, it opens me up to a lot of hate.”
Mulvaney’s situation underscores the challenging circumstances faced by the transgender community in society. Whether it’s Dylan Mulvaney or anyone else, it’s crucial to provide them with a space to share their stories and live a life of respect.
