Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has finally changed the gender on her passport from male to female.
Although Mulvaney came out as transgender in March 2022 and became famous for documenting her transition, she still used a year-old passport.
Mulvaney, 27, showed her 10 million TikTok followers her passport photo when she still had masculine features and short brown hair.
She explained that she stayed with a male passport for so long because it had to be sent away for “weeks or months” to be changed and she traveled so much for work.

However, it became increasingly difficult to use as the radical difference between her ID card and her passport photo confused immigration officials.
“They don't always believe that I'm the same person that's on my passport… They wonder who you are and what did you do to old Dylan,” she said.
This worsened after he underwent facial feminization surgery earlier this year, which changed the shape of her face even more than in the male passport photo.
Mulvaney filmed himself taking a new passport photo and marveled at how well it turned out – unlike most official images.
She then compared it to her old passport, which is believed to be the first time she has posted the years-old photo on social media.
“I want to thank the U.S. government for making this possible for me,” she said, pointing out the F next to gender in the new passport.
“And for all these people [who] “If you called me a man, you can complain to the social security office because my passport says something different.”
Mulvaney later documented a road trip with friends to a forest retreat, where she posed nude in an outdoor bath wearing only a red cap.
Other photos showed her in a fluffy pink dress and other eye-catching winter outfits with her friends.

Mulvaney became phenomenally popular on TikTok for documenting her transition, but is now best known for her controversial Bud Light ad.
The brewing giant has created a limited edition of Bud Light cans featuring her face to celebrate 365 days of “being a girl,” which she uses to describe her transition
Mulvaney partnered with the brand for the NCAA's March Madness campaign in April and posted a video of himself holding the can on April 1.
Although the cans were extremely limited and only appeared in one video, conservative figures were outraged and called for a boycott.
The backlash caused Bud Light's parent company Anheuser-Busch to lose $400 million in sales as U.S. sales fell 10.5 percent compared to the previous year.

Mulvaney condemned Bud Light, whom she did not name in response to the backlash, for not supporting her.
“For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly support them is, in my opinion, worse than not hiring a trans person at all,” she previously told The Cut.
She described herself as a “sacrificial lamb in the electoral landscape,” adding that the entire fiasco had been a “wake-up call” and that she had become “a more realistic person.”
After posting a TikTok video, Mulvaney said she was “scared to leave the house” at the height of the backlash.
Bud Light employees accused their company's leadership of “cowardice” over the advertising fiasco and argued they should have been more supportive of Mulvaney.
