“Caitlyn Jenner is a terrible person because she is terrible,” Jenner said in a tweet. “Dylan Mulvaney is a terrible person because he is terrible.”
“Dylan Mulvaney is a terrible person because he is terrible,” Jenner said in a tweet.
The disagreements between Caitlyn Jenner and Dylan Mulvaney began early into the influencer’s “Days of Girlhood” series. For Day 74, she uploaded a video retelling the story of how patrons at a store were “staring… at [her] crotch” because she didn’t realize her shorts were too tight and sang that she wanted to “normalize the bulge.” This video resurfaced and was denounced by Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn after Mulvaney was invited to the White House to meet with President Joe Biden in October 2022, as reported by the New York Post. Jenner retweeted Sen. Blackburn’s negative sentiment and continued to misgender the influencer.
“There is a difference between acceptance and tolerance, and normalizing exposing your genitals in a public way and a public place,” Jenner wrote on Twitter. “I do not support that at all, in the slightest. Dylan…congrats your trans with a penis.”
In response to Jenner’s vitriol, Mulvaney released an open video letter to the former Olympian on her TikTok, in which she explained the “bulge” video was made before her trans friends showed her the protocol for wearing tucking undergarments. She called Jenner’s tweets “terrible” and posited that “a trans person invalidating another trans person’s transness is pretty evil.” In a statement to Rolling Stone, Jenner’s team blamed the “haphazardly misgendered” tweets on one of their employees, not the former athlete herself. Although this was blamed on her team, Jenner later attacked the trans influencer again in 2023.
