Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney is speaking out amid a boycott movement targeting Bud Light.

In a video posted on Instagram, Mulvaney said, “It’s day 9,610 of being a human, and I’m going to try to leave gender out of this since that’s how we found ourselves here. I’ve been offline for a few weeks, and a lot has been said about me, some of which is so far from my truth that I was like hearing my name and I didn’t even know who they were talking about sometimes. It’s a very dissociative feeling.” 

The influencer went on:

“It was so loud that I didn’t even feel part of the conversation, so I decided to take a backseat and just let them tucker themselves out. But then, I remembered that nearly 13 million people, at some point, enjoyed me enough to hit the follow button on these apps and I was like ‘Wait, wait, wait, I want to talk to those people.’ So, hi, long time, no talk, how are you? You might want to grab a beverage, this is gonna be a longer one. But, I’m doing OK, and I’m trying this new thing where I don’t pressure myself to share anything before I’m ready.”

Mulvaney continued, “What I’m struggling with most is that I grew up in a conservative family, and I’m extremely privileged because they still love me very much, and I grew up in the church, and I still have my faith which I am really trying to hold onto right now.”

What decency in the face of so much hate. To see an individual remain positive after being attacked by the world for just being who she is. I feel inspired. https://t.co/4Okya3CZJE

The influencer added, “I’ve always tried to love everyone, even the people that make it really, really hard, and I think it’s OK to be frustrated with someone, or confused, but what I’m struggling to understand is the need to dehumanize and to be cruel, I just don’t think that’s right.”

Mulvaney admitted to having a concern people “would start believing stuff critics were saying.”

“It is so loud, but I’m just going to go ahead and trust that people who know me and my heart won’t listen to that noise,” Mulvaney continued. “What I’m interested in is getting back to making people laugh, and to never stop learning, and going forward, I want to share parts of myself on here that have nothing to do with my identity.”

The boycott against Bud Light stemmed from its partnership with Mulvaney.

The campaign has led various celebrities to announce boycotts of the beer.

Several country music stars said they were done with Anheuser-Busch products.

The company lost roughly $5 billion in market value in the wake of the boycott movement. And its sales were down 17% the week that ended April 15 compared to the previous year.

Amid the fallout from the partnership, Anheuser-Busch has placed two Bud Light marketing executives on leave.

The Wall Street Journal notes Anheuser-Busch “said that it will also adjust some of its marketing department functions to ensure senior staff are fully connected to decisions about brand activities.”

The brewer insisted the changes will “help us maintain focus on the things we do best: brewing great beer for all consumers, while always making a positive impact in our communities and on our country.”
