Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney and popstar Lady Gaga have sparked backlash for a joint International Women’s Day post.

The pair posed for a photoshoot together, the singer sitting on a wooden crate with enormous platform heels, while Mulvaney stood behind her.

Both wore black, Gaga in a long woolen dress and Mulvaney in a short dress adorned with sequins and tassels at the bottom, along with black stockings.

‘I’m putting you on my vision board, for life,’ Gaga said to Mulvaney, to which the transgender woman replied: ‘I love you’.

‘Put this on your vision board, world, we love you,’ Gaga continued in a video clip posted to Instagram with the photos.

They appeared to be at an event with Haus Labs, Lady Gaga’s cosmetic brand, and pharmaceutical company Clinuvel.

Mulvaney also posted a photo with Lady Gaga’s mother, Cynthia Germanotta and one of her name stitched on to a napkin as a table placing.

Online trolls were quick to descend on Mulvaney’s Instagram post, hurling abuse and calling her and even Lady Gaga, who was born a woman, ‘men’.

‘This is so degrading to REAL women,’ one wrote.

‘I actually see two men,’ another responded, and a third added ‘two men cannot represent a real Queen’.

Yet another claimed they were ‘two women born as men’ and ‘shout out to all the real women! Not men playing dress up’.

‘Why’s Dylan representing. He’s ‘NOT’ a woman. What an insult to us ‘REAL’ women. Quit invading our territory.’

Both wore black, Gaga in a long woolen dress and Mulvaney in a short dress adorned with sequins and tassels at the bottom, along with black stockings.

Lady Gaga was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta and attended a Catholic all-girls school in New York City from the age of 11.

Others claimed Mulvaney was suffering from a mental illness because she was transgender.

‘I can not believe that there is still men and Women out there that believe Lady Gaga is not a woman. She is and so is Dylan Mulvaney. This is two beautiful women together,’ a kinder commenter added.

‘Girl – and I thought it couldn’t get better,’ another added.

Mulvaney became phenomenally popular on TikTok for documenting her transition in March 2022, but is now best known for her controversial Bud Light promotion.

The brewing giant created a limited run of Bud Light cans with her face to celebrate 365 days of ‘being a girl,’ the phrase she uses to describe her transition

A single TikTok video by transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney with a branded beer can was enough to send right-wing drinkers into a frenzy.

Mulvaney partnered with the brand in April for its March Madness NCAA campaign and posted a video on April 1 while holding the can.

Despite the cans being an extremely limited run and only featuring in one video, conservative figures were outraged and called for a boycott.

The backlash caused Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, to lose $400 million in sales as US revenue dropped 10.5 per cent compared with the year before.

Mulvaney later posted a TikTok video where she said she felt ‘scared to leave the house’ at the height of the backlash.

Bud Light workers accused their company’s leadership of ‘cowardice’ over the ad fiasco, arguing they should have better supported Mulvaney.
