As you may have heard by now, Bud Light assassin Dylan Mulvaney has packed up his things and left the USA, claiming he no longer feels “safe” in America thanks to the Bud Light fiasco. So, what safe haven did Dylan seek out?
Peru.
Returning to social media after a month-long hiatus, Dylan Mulvaney shared Monday that she has traveled away from the U.S. ‘to feel safe.’
Sharing a TikTok video from Peru, Mulvaney explained that she evacuated the U.S. as a necessary temporary safety precaution against further retaliation.
“It’s a little sad that I had to leave my country to feel safe but that will get better eventually,” Mulvaney told her 10 million+ TikTok followers Monday. She did not explain in the video when she expects to return to the U.S.
Her post appears to be a stark change of tune compared to previous statements. On the “Onward with Rosie O’Donnell” podcast in April, she appeared less hopeful about the situation, explaining that critics failed to relate to her.
“These people, they don’t understand me and anything that I do or say then somehow gets taken out of context and is used against me and it’s so sad because everything I try to put out is positive. It’s trying to connect with others that maybe don’t understand me. It’s to make people laugh or to make a kid feel seen,” Mulvaney said.
Dylan posted this video from Peru on his TikTok:
@dylanmulvaney HELLO FROM PERU !! #peru #machupicchu
However, sadly, it appears the notoriously clueless Dylan Mulvaney didn’t do his homework. As it turns out, Peru, along with all of Latin America, has a reputation for being among the most violent and dangerous places for transvestites.
A wave of murders of trans women in Peru — six since the beginning of the year, after eight all of last year — has exposed a country unable or unwilling to protect trans people. And it has triggered protests demanding urgent action against gender violence.
[…]
In all of 2022, the LGBT Rights Observatory at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia recorded eight murders of trans women in Peru. So far this year they have already documented six.
The human rights violations perpetrated against transgender women throughout Latin America are the result of forces in society. The region’s highly machismo, conservative and transphobic culture ostracizes and stigmatizes transgender people, posing a serious threat to their health, security, life expectancy and employment prospects. With few options or support, many engage in sex work. As sex workers with no legal protections, they are at a greater risk of violence and sexual and substance abuse. And most have little access to health services. Without recognition, many cases of violence and murder go undocumented.
Photojournalist Danielle Villasana has been documenting a community of transgender women in Lima for the past several years, photographing the often dire realities they face, such as complications from HIV, abuse from police, partners and clients, and death. “Because most governments throughout Latin America and the world continuously fail to protect transgender women, I’m determined to show how these largely ignored injustices often lead to deadly consequences,” she said.
In fact, transvestites living in Peru say it’s downright dangerous.
Partners in Health (emphasis ours):
On the streets of Lima, 86% of transgender women have faced discrimination. And more than half have experienced domestic violence.
That’s according to a recent survey by Socios En Salud, as Partners In Health is known in Peru, and Féminas Perú, a grassroots organization focused on transgender rights.
[…]
For the thousands of transgender women living in Peru, discrimination, stigma, and fear of violence mark daily life.
“Being a trans woman in Peru is very difficult,” says Lesly Quispe, a transgender activist and member of Féminas. “It has impacted my life, from the moment I’ve realized my identity and made the decision to be who I am.”
Across Latin America, most transgender women don’t live past their 35th birthday. HIV prevalence among trans women—whose job prospects are often limited to sex work due to systemic barriers—is as high as 38%. And more transgender people are murdered in Latin America than on any other continent—violence that is routinely un- or under-reported.
[…]
Many transgender women don’t feel safe seeking care at clinics and hospitals where discrimination runs rampant, according to Hernandez. Peru’s health system lacks comprehensive training and protocols for clinicians around sexual and gender diversity, making health centers potential sites of abuse and prejudice.
With their intricate make-up, short skirts and playful smiles, they could be any group of girlfriends on a night out.
But they are transgender women of Peru, who are forced to live so completely outside of society that they have a life expectancy of just 35 – less than half that of the general population.
In this staunchly Catholic country these women are living in the shadows, with little choice but to live as sex workers where daily they risk violence from police and clients as well as contracting viruses: almost a third are infected with HIV.
If they survive these dangers, there is still the police brutality, the accommodation not fit for human habitation and the lack of healthcare to contend with, all endured under the constant threat of running out of money to simply be able to feed themselves.
‘In this country, for the fact of being trans, you are not valued as a human being,’ explained Karen, a transgender woman lying in a hospital bed.
Sadly, we all know of Dylan’s act is genuine. Dylan Mulvaney seems to revel in playing the “victim.” It’s part of his act. He’s taking on the persona of a helpless female who’s supposedly being persecuted just for being a “woman.” But it’s no surprise that Dylan gets trolled online, after all, he voluntarily shares offensive content that mocks and belittles real women.
And that’s why the claim that the U.S. is a “dangerous” place for trans people simply isn’t true. According to the HRC, only 32 trans people were killed in 2022. Considering that the Williams Institute estimates there to be 1.6 million trans people, that equates to a murder rate of 2, and sadly, most trans murders are “sex worker” related.
Compare those stats to Latin America, where Dylan claims to feel “safer,” and you quickly see what a sham all of this is.
We wish Dylan the best of luck with his new life in Peru — he’s gonna need it.
