The Trevor Project has honoured trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney for her tireless LGBTQIA+ activism. Over the last year and a half, the beloved TikTok star has gained popularity due to her heartwarming and emotional “Days of Girlhood” series – which followed her first year as a trans woman.
In addition to highlighting her journey, Mulvaney has used her social media platform to educate and bring awareness to the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole.
Due to her dedicated activism and optimistic content, The Trevor Project announced that the talented influencer would be the third recipient of the Suicide Prevention Advocate of the Year award. “In a world where LGBTQ young people too often face adversity and discrimination, Dylan Mulvaney stands as a source of light and hope, reminding us that there is strength in unity and power in vulnerability,” said Kevin Wong, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Content. “Through her ongoing advocacy work and unapologetic celebration of their trans identity, Dylan is an exemplary possibility model for LGBTQ young people to envision a world for themselves where they can be happy, successful, and thrive openly and authentically.” Shortly after the news was announced, Mulvaney took to her TikTok account to thank The Trevor Project for her exciting honour. “I am deeply honored to accept The Trevor Project’s Suicide Prevention Advocate of the Year award.
Trevor’s life-saving work holds a special place in my heart because it represents a lifeline for so many who are struggling with their identity and may not feel accepted as their authentic self,” she said. “To anyone feeling lost or scared, I want you to know that you are so incredibly loved, and there is light after the moments of darkness.
