Controversial influencer Dylan Mulvaney has been trolled again after she shared that she went to Peru over feeling unsafe in the United States. On July 11, the trans rights activist uploaded a video on TikTok where she told her followers and viewers that she was currently at Machu Picchu and marveled at the beauty of the place.
Dylan sparked a mass online outrage back in April when she celebrated her "365 Days of Girlhood" through a promotional video of Bud Light. The conservatives called for a boycott of the beer brewer over its commercial advocacy and preaching of the trans community.
The influencer further infuriated the crowd when she collaborated with Nike and a few other brands, earning the same hateful reactions from many conservative Americans.
In her TikTok video on Tuesday, Dylan told her fans that people in Peru were very kind and that she feels very safe over there. Dylan added:
"It's a little sad that I had to leave my country to feel safe, but that will get better eventually."
British internet personality Oli London ridiculed Dylan Mulvaney's departure to Peru on Twitter on July 12 and rhetorically asked if it was another of Dylan's "attention seeking act".

Under Oli London's tweet, more people mocked the influencer and some even disregarded Dylan's use of preferred pronouns and addressed her by "he/him".
Several people used the same offensive words and descriptions they had previously used against the influencer and called Dylan a man in a dress.
Other Twitter users also derided the 26-year-old influencer in their individual tweets. Many called her a clown and stated that it was her publicity stunt.
Dylan Mulvaney says she is her own best friend again
In her TikTok video, Dylan told her viewers and fans that she was there in Peru by herself. The influencer shared that she used to go on a lot of solo trips before and described them to be the best. She said that going on a solo trip is a good way to get to know oneself better.
Dylan continued that she went to South America to feel something. She has done shaman ceremonies which she claimed were worth therapy spanning over 10 years. She also shared about sighting a lot of llamas.
Dylan spoke about how she was craving some Trader Joe's rolled Chilli Lime chips, but other than that, she expressed her contentment.
The influencer shared that although she had not been kissed yet, she was holding out hope. Dylan concluded her video by saying:
“Most of all, this trip just has me feeling like I’m my own best friend again and that is the best feeling in the world and I hope that you feel that way about yourself too.”
Dylan Mulvaney bashed Bud Light for not extending support
The influencer slammed the beer brewer for not reaching out to her for support after their partnership video caused an immense backlash leading to a boycott of the brand.
Dylan Mulvaney said that what had transpired from the video was increased transphobia and bullying than she could have ever imagined.
Dylan Mulvaney further said that she was scared of more backlash and felt personally guilty for the entire thing while patiently waiting for the situation to get better. She then added, referring to Bud Light:
"But surprise, they didn’t. And I was waiting for the brand to reach out to me, but they never did."
The influencer opined that a company hiring a trans person and then failing to publicly stand by them is worse than not at all hiring a trans person. She said that it permitted customers to be as hateful and transphobic as they want.
Dylan Mulvaney also claimed that the Bud Light backlash made it difficult for her to go out in public, and that she had been scared of leaving her house for months.
Dylan shared that she had also been followed, ridiculed and had felt a loneliness that she would not wish upon anyone.
She added that she was not sharing it to earn everyone's pity, but was making people aware of her experience from a privileged perspective, whereas other trans people have to go through much worse.
