Gay lifestyle magazine Attitude is facing backlash after naming transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney as its 'Woman of the Year.'
The US TikTok star, who documented her transition on the video sharing platform last year, accepted the title this week at the Virgin Atlantic sponsored awards bash in London.
But critics slammed the decision, accusing the awards of 'gaslighting women everywhere' with prominent feminist campaigner Maya Forstater calling it an 'insult.'
In her acceptance speech Mulvaney said being honoured with the gong 'from a queer publication' 'means so much more to me.'
She said: 'Some see me as the woman of the year, some see me as the woman of a year and some change as I only publicly came out online 560 days ago - and some people don't see me as a woman at all.'
But speaking to MailOnline, Maya Forstater said: 'It is an insult to women. It is hard to imagine something more misogynist than to pronounce that no woman has achieved anything more significant this year through their work than a man putting on a dress and having cosmetic surgery.'
Posting an image of Attitude's magazine cover with Mulvaney on the front, Piers Morgan wrote on X: 'Another ludicrous slap in the face to actual women.'
TV personality Charly Arnolt also tweeted: 'There are nearly 4B women in the world, and of course Dylan Mulvaney wins 'Woman of the Year'.
TalkTV presenter and NHS GP Dr Renee Hoenderkamp added: 'This is just gaslighting women everywhere.'
Others congratulated Mulvaney and said she looked 'stunning' on Attitude magazine's front cover.
American TikTok star Mulvaney was given the title this week after spending much of the first half of the year embroiled in controversy over her Bud Light partnership, which cost the beer company $400million in sales.

“Gay lifestyle magazine Attitude”
I laugh because in reality “Gays” and “Transgender” persons have far little in common and many diderences. “Gays” do not hate their own bodies nor want a body of the opposite gender, in spite of what the oh-so-noticable “drag queens” ( a tiny minority among “gay” males) would have anyone believe. The overwhelming majority of “gays” do not seek even daily social behavior of the gender opposite their own, romantic attractions the exception. In sum, “gays” are massively not confused about who they are, unlike the “transgenders”, and the vast majority of “gays” of either gender are not romantically comfortable with the pretend gender of ‘Transgenders” anymore than heterosexual people.
What has driven “gays” and “transgenders” into the same camp among activists (and I think only among activists) - politics and nothing else. In life they go their seperate ways as do most people.
Sorry, actual women. Men are better than you. So get lost.
Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman (unless you’re Mr. Mulvaney.)
But it’s your homosexual and porn addicted men that are doing it, so back at you.
The best woman for the job is a man.
women’s liberation made women equal to men so if a man wants to be a woman...
Men are better than women at everything - including being women...
Star, LOL.
As Dave Chappell said: Less than two years as a woman and she’s better than every byatch in America! Ain’t that something?!
I think you been prospecting too long
He’s got, maybe an Audrey Hepburn look. After a twelve pack of Bud Light, life will mimic art.
“Apparently they’ve conceded that men really are better at everything...even being women.”
Yep, as somebody said yesterday, Mulvaney is just mansplaining what it means to be a woman.
He can go back to being a gay man tomorrow. He's just acting.
Yeah. I could see Dylan’s father being a bit light in the loafers. If he even knows who his father is.
I was born in the wrong body. I am going out in blackface, with a Chinese girls hair in a wig, bleached out like the sistas do.
My pronouns will be Bro/niqqa. Party in Philly. Maybe I can be in Jet.
The left hates women as much as it hates minorities, especially blacks.
