After a new post sparked severe online hate, Lady Gaga is standing up for transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney and the trans community. The pop star claimed it’s “appalling” that Mulvaney’s photos of celebrating International Women’s Day were “met with such vitriol” in an Instagram shared this evening.
She added that the hostility toward transgender people and all other trans people is not enough to refer to as “backlash,” because it is anger and should not be tolerated. Gaga wrote, “I think it’s important to understand that anger is anger, and that this kind of hatred is violence.”
She continued, “I hope all people will come up to recognize us ALL for International Women’s Day, and perhaps we do that often until the day that all people are celebrated similarly.” that everyone is praised evenly. a time when people of all genders are observed on the trip that appeals to them. Because everyone of all ethnicities and gender identities deserves serenity and dignity.
Gaga’s remarks come at a time when gender-affirming health care providers are in danger and anti-trans bills are in danger in states across the country. Middle and high school students who are transgender report even being bullied online or in person. In her message, the singer praised the transgender community’s “endless joy and enthusiasm in the face of unending degradation, intolerance, and physical, verbal, and intellectual violence.”
She later stated that she hoped “all women would come together to recognize us ALL for International Women’s Day, and may we continue to do so until the day that all people are celebrated likewise.” that everyone is rewarded evenly. a time when people of all genders are observed on the trip that appeals to them. Because everyone of all ethnicities and genders deserves harmony and dignity.

It’s horrifying to me that Dylan Mulvaney and I did respond to a post about National Women’s Day with such hostility and anger. When I see a news reporting on anger but calling it “backlash,” I feel it necessary to understand that anger is hatred and that this type of anger is violence. Backlash would suggest that those who admire or admire Dylan and me didn’t approve of our actions. Never a backlash, of course. This is anger.
Given the enormous job that it is clear we still need to do as a nation to make room for transgender life to be valued and upheld by all of us, it is not unexpected. In this time, I feel very safe for both Dylan and the trans group, who continue to inspire others with their unending grace and motivation in the face of unending degradation, intolerance, and physical, verbal, and psychological violence. I have something to say about this society, though I do not speak for it. I sincerely hope that all people will come along to observe International Women’s Day, and that we will continue to do so until the day that all women are treated equally. that everyone is rewarded evenly. a time when people of all genders are observed on the trip that appeals to them. Because everyone, regardless of gender, deserves serenity and respect.
May we all unite to become warm, inviting, accepting, and loving. May we all stand up and acknowledge the difficulties and complexity of trans life, which we are unaware of but who can get to comprehend and feel compassion for. I adore people to the point of referring to contempt as “backlash.” Citizens have a right to better.
Mulvaney responded by sharing the post soon after Gaga’s heartfelt message on her Instagram Story.
Mulvaney recently spoke to ELLE.com about how her attire, which has earned her a sizable online following, has reflected her journey. She also described how supporters can be with each other throughout the procedure.
“For a while, I was dressing like a child because I’ve been in that phase of my transition.” I can see myself becoming this woman, she said, “finding classier clothing or feeling like I can wear a power suit and also feel feminine.”
“Being a woman isn’t about the outside, but it helps a lot, particularly when you’re just trans,” Mulvaney said. “Give us a little time, friends. Although it’s simple to judge someone, we are thrown into a world we haven’t yet experienced. Give us joy while figuring out our personality, personality, and personality type. Make sure we have the necessary tools.”
