‘It’s hard to see the light right now,’ says online influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Dylan Mulvaney told social media it was “hard to see the light now” as she posted a defiant song amid backlash against Nike for sponsoring her.

“It’s hard to see the light right now,” the TikTok star captioned an Instagram post of her singing. This song just felt right for the week I had. All is well. cheers.

The post was from her famous singing No One Is Alone by Stephen Sondheim, from the movie Into The Woods.

Ms Mulvaney – who uses the pronouns she or they – posted the video yesterday to her 1.7 million followers after she was seen in paid social media content dancing while wearing a Nike sports bra.

Before bursting into song, while clad in a black and pink ball gown, she said, “Whether you’re a parent or a child or you’re young or old or you’re trans or trans. No, we’re all doing our best here, right?

The song goes on to say, “It’s hard to see the light now. Just don’t let it go. Things will come out now. We can make it so. Someone by your side. Nobody’s alone.”

At the time of writing, the post has over 119,000 likes and over 2,000 comments.

In Nike’s latest Instagram post, Ms. Mulvaney is shown wearing a pair of black leggings and a white sports bra to hit yoga poses in a sunny backyard.

The video then showed the star dancing on a patio in bare feet doing calisthenics while playing an upbeat song.

Some people on social media expressed their anger at Nike’s decision to partner with Ms. Mulvaney.

One wrote, “I was really enjoying Nike as a brand, but I will never wear another pair of shoes now that Dylan Mulvaney has emerged as their new ambassador for womenswear.”

While the transgender star has received a lot of support from her followers and fans, not everyone agreed that this move by Nike was appropriate.

Sharon Davies, who won Team GB silver in the 400-meter individual medley at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, said it was a “step” backwards after several sports bodies moved to give biological women their protected class in competitions.

‘It’s very frustrating.’ We’ve taken two steps forward with World Athletics and Swim England to protect women’s sport and then Nike will do that,” Dan Wootton said tonight on GB News.

“The ad sounds like a parody of what women are like. In the past it was always seen as an insult to say, ‘I run like a girl’ and here we have someone acting in a very unsportsmanlike, very unsportsmanlike manner, which is very frustrating when there are 1 percent Only from USA sponsorship dollars go to females in sports.

For Nike to do this feels like a kick in the teeth.

She called for a boycott, and said, “We can protest. This is what we have left for now. Nobody seems to be listening.

The only way we can get these companies and governments to sit up and listen is to boycott our portfolio.

“It’s the only thing they listen to.”

Ms Davies posted a tweet today in response to Riley Gaines telling the world she refuses to be silenced after a man dressed as a woman ran into her after she spoke out against extremist activists.

She said: Riley’s account. All because she didn’t want a 6’4 male to race with females. It is really time to stop this madness. It’s dangerous to have a female voice.

This isn’t the first time Nike has teamed up with a convert star in marketing, in 2021 they’re launching a “Play New” campaign with Mara Gomez, who plays in Argentina’s professional soccer league.

The controversy could affect sales, which have received a huge boost in recent months from stars like Lioness Chloe Kelly who have been seen wearing their products.

She’s known for whipping off her shirt to celebrate scoring a goal in England’s World Cup victory, and revealing her sports bra with the iconic black tick logo.

Nike released its first response online yesterday, announcing that it would delete comments that it did not deem to be in the spirit of diversity or inclusivity.

She insisted: “You are essential to the success of your community.

We welcome comments that contribute to a positive and constructive discussion.

‘Be kind.’ Be inclusive. Encourage each other. Hate speech, bullying, or other behavior that is inconsistent with the spirit of a diverse and inclusive society will be removed.

Social media star and transgender rights activist Ms. Mulvaney, who lives in Los Angeles, has a large online profile after working as a comedian, Broadway actress, and appearing on The Book of Mormon.

Last October, the influencer interviewed President Joe Biden about the Democrats’ commitment to protecting transgender rights.

And the artist gained a huge following on TikTok while documenting the transition to childhood, with her video series attracting 1 billion views.

In it, Mulvaney dressed up as a doll and discussed ideas about finding love, having a family, and being a mother.

In January of this year, Mulvaney scored the grueling “facial feminization” surgery, which saw her facial bones chipped and sanded downward to create a softer, more feminine appearance.

And in March 2021, Mulvaney announced to her followers that she is a girl, although she has not yet undergone a sex reassignment operation.

After the 365th day of the Internet star’s authentic life, US Vice President Kamala Harris wrote an anniversary letter to congratulate her on this milestone.
