Watch: Trans Activist Dylan Mulvaney Sings Classic Stephen Sondheim Song in Response to Backlash Over Endorsements

After a week where trans activist Dylan Mulvaney came under fire for partnering with two major brands – Nike and Bud Light – she commented with a clip singing a Stephen Sondheim classic.

"It's hard to see the light right now. This song felt fitting given the week I've had," Mulvaney wrote on TikTok alongside a video of herself singing the Stephen Sondheim tune "No One is Alone" from "Into the Woods," reports the New York Post.

"The performance was from an event she hosted at the Rainbow Room earlier this month. 'Thank you all for making me feel supported, i am not alone #trans'."

Evoking a classic Audrey Hepburn look, Mulvaney said in a breaking voice: "Whether you're a parent or you're a child or you're young or you're old or you're trans or you're not, we are all just trying our best here, aren't we."

"Last week, Mulvaney's new ad campaigns with Bud Light and Nike ruffled the feathers of critics from country star Travis Tritt and Kid Rock – who tweeted a video of himself shooting cases of Bud Light – to female Olympians and even Caitlyn Jenner, said of Mulvaney's Nike sports bra endorsement: 'It is a shame to see such an iconic American company go so woke! ... This is an outrage.' "

The Post adds: "Mulvaney 26, who transitioned from male to female in March 2021, has reportedly earned more than a million dollars from endorsements including fashion and beauty brands Kate Spade, Ulta Beauty, Haus Labs and CeraVe, as well as Crest and InstaCart. She's also gained 10 million followers on TikTok.

"In March, she appeared on 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' where the star famously knelt before Mulvaney and embraced her, and Mulvaney met with President Biden at the White House last fall.

"The Post reported Friday that executives at companies like Nike, Anheuser-Busch and Kate Spade who gave Mulvaney brand endorsements aren't just virtue signaling."

The reason, the Post concludes is: "They're handing out lucrative deals to what were once considered fringe celebrities because they have to – or risk failing an all-important social credit score that could make or break their businesses.

"At stake is their Corporate Equality Index – or CEI – score, which is overseen by the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ+ political lobbying group in the world."
