TikTok and became well known for documenting her gender transition on the social media platform.With her growing popularity have come a number of brand deals, including with Kate Spade and Nike, but one brand interaction has incited a violent response from conservatives.She posted a personalized can of Bud Light beer with her face on it, sent to her by the company to mark the one year anniversary of her tradition.
She was also hired by the brand to promote its March Madness contest.But the move prompted calls to boycott Bud Light and even resulted in musician Kid Rock shooting multiple cans of the beer with a machine gun.Mulvaney mused on the growing backlash to her success during an appearance on comedian Rosie O'Donnell's podcast."The reason I think I'm an easy target is because I'm still new to this.
I think going after a trans woman who has been doing this for 20 years is a lot more difficult," she said. "Maybe they think there's some sort of chance with me that they can—but I mean, what is their goal?"Mulvaney appeared on the Onward with Rosie O'Donnell show, which airs on the iHeartPodcasts' Outspoken Podcast Network to speak about her very public transition.
She also talked about dating and admitted she wanted to have children at some point in the future."I actually haven't started dating yet, it's not something that has come up just because I've been doing so much work on my own transition," she said. "I think it's scary to then have someone come in and when you're in the middle of transitioning, my [anatomy] might change, and I think that I do fear where my romance will come from."But at the end of the day, I know that I'm worthy of love and I'm worthy of something more than just some sexual experience."Mulvaney.
