"Trans trailblazer Dylan Mulvaney is no stranger to being iconic, and her birthday gives us the perfect excuse to celebrate her. The stage star has gone from strength to strength after she first entered the scene with her now-infamous "Days of Girlhood" social media series documenting her transition. Today (29 December) marks the icon's 29th birthday, and in honour of her role as a trans activist, we've highlighted some of her best moments from this year. Her debut book Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer, which is a collection of journal entries from her first-year transition, was released on 11 March this year."
"That same month, Mulvaney recalled her former job at Lush cosmetics as a "safe" space for her "awkward, feminine 16-year-old" self to feel "accepted". Mulvaney partnered with her former workplace to collaborate on her own bath bomb, aptly titled "Late Bloomer". The limited-edition bath bomb featured "feel-good florals, gorgeous pink luster and Softy's crisp rose and subtle citrus perfume"."
"In April, Mulvaney revealed that prior to her transition, she auditioned for the role of Glee's Kurt and Jake Pucherman - the latter being a fairly 'macho' character eventually portrayed by Jacob Artist. "I might be the only one that auditioned for both young Kurt and Jake, but what I definitely confirm is I'm the only trans woman that auditioned for both young Kurt and Jake," she revealed during an appearance on the podcast That's What You Really Missed."
Dylan Mulvaney, a trans trailblazer, turned 29 on 29 December and sustained high public visibility across media and performance. She rose to prominence with the "Days of Girlhood" social series documenting her transition. Her debut book, Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer, collected journal entries from her first-year transition and released on 11 March. Mulvaney described her former Lush job as a "safe" space for her awkward, feminine 16-year-old self and collaborated with Lush on a limited "Late Bloomer" bath bomb. She disclosed pre-transition auditions for Glee roles, starred at the Savoy Theatre, and expressed a desire to play Elle Woods, calling it "powerful" to see a trans performer in that role.
