as I only publicly came out online 560 days ago.""Some people don't see me as a woman at all, which is why receiving this honor from a queer publication like Attitude means so much more to me," Mulvaney said. "No matter how hard I try or what I wear, or what I say, or what surgeries I get, I will never reach an acceptable version of womanhood by those hateful people's standards.
But as long as I have the queer community, that sees me for my truth, I'm gonna be OK."Mulvaney made headlines earlier this year after she partnered with Bud Light for a beer can that showcased her video series and transition to womanhood.
The partnership sparked widespread backlash, mainly from conservatives who oppose members of the LGBTQ+ community.The public response led to a widespread boycott of Bud Light and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch.Musician Kid Rock was seen shooting Bud Light cans with a gun and cursing at the beer company, while others called for purchasing alternative alcoholic beverages.Shortly after the boycott began in April, Bud Light saw a decline in sales over the next few months.
