Dylan Mulvaney speaks out from Peru: 'It's sad I had to leave my country to feel safe'

TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney is seeking solace in Peru amid the onslaught of anti-trans harassment she's faced in recent months.

In April, the influencer posted a sponsored Instagram video promoting Bud Light, sharing that the beer's maker had sent her a can of Bud Light with her face on it to commemorate her celebration of "Day 365 of Girlhood" a couple of weeks earlier. The post triggered backlash against the company and Mulvaney, who now says she feels safest outside the U.S.
