However, Lady Gaga the appalling reception of the post. Gaga specifically criticized the media’s portrayal of the scenario.

Lady Gaga wrote

“It’s appalling to me that a post about National Women’s Day by Dylan Mulvaney and me would be met with such vitriol and hatred. When I see a newspaper reporting on hatred but calling it ‘backlash’ I feel it is important to clarify that hatred is hatred, and this kind of hatred is violence. ‘Backlash’ would imply that people who love or respect Dylan and me didn’t like something we did. This is not backlash. This is hatred.”

Through her perspective, Lady Gaga the boundary between backlash and violence. Furthermore, Gaga also points out the need to make a better and easier world for the transgender community through her Instagram post.

The multi-Grammy winner further mentioned,

“But it is not surprising given the immense work that it’s obvious we still have to do as a society to make room for transgender lives to be cherished and upheld by all of us. I feel very protective in this moment, not only of Dylan, but of the trans community who continues to lead the way with their endless grace and inspiration in the face of constant degradation, intolerance, and physical, verbal, and mental violence.”

Lady Gaga’s steadfast support for Dylan Mulvaney highlights her stance on important social issues. Through supporting Mulvaney she not only tried to justify Mulvaney but also stands in solidarity with the entire transgender community. Gaga firmly demands peace and comfort for every transgender individual, just as for anybody else.
