Why Dylan Mulvaney Is Returning to Social Media Amid “Cruel” Criticism

“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,” Dylan shared. “I still have my faith, which I am really trying to hold onto right now. But 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 don’t think that’s right.”

Ultimately, Dylan is reminding herself that her true friends and fans are still with her. She confessed she was embarrassed to tell her followers how nervous she was “that you were going to start believing those things that they were saying about me, since it is so loud.” Yet, in her words, “I’m going to go ahead trust that the people that know me and my heart won’t listen to that noise.”
