The Controversial Sponsorship of Transgender Athlete Dylan Mulvaney

Influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who identifies as a woman but has not yet had gender reassignment surgery, has become a controversial figure after being used by Nike to promote its women's sports clothing range. Mulvaney's popularity on TikTok and Instagram has surged in recent months, meaning the influencer can rake in £40,000 to £70,000 per sponsored post. Mulvaney has also faced backlash for promoting Bud Light and Tampax, and for being featured on Ultra Beauty's podcast. Despite the controversy, Mulvaney continues to work with major brands and has recently been gifted luxury items such as a Mugler handbag.
