Lady Gaga defends Dylan Mulvaney from transphobes: 'This is not backlash. This is hatred'

Gaga continued to say that the response was unfortunately "not surprising," and that it’s "obvious we still have to do as a society to make room for transgender lives to be cherished and upheld by all of us."

"I feel very protective in this moment, not only of Dylan, but of the trans community who continues to lead the way with their endless grace and inspiration in the face of constant degradation, intolerance, and physical, verbal, and mental violence," she added.

Mulvaney has been subject to unrelenting transphobic attacks since her brief partnership with Bud Light last year, which sparked a conservative boycott of the beer. The influencer is still a frequent target for trolls online and even right-wing figures like Matt Walsh.

Gaga ended her post by reminding both her fans and the brigadiers that International Women's Day is for all women, and that she hopes "all women will come together to honor us ALL for International Women’s Day, and may we do that always until THE DAY that all women are celebrated equally."

She concluded: "I love people too much to allow hatred to be referred to as 'backlash.' People deserve better."
