Actress Drew Barrymore is being praised for her compassionate interview with trans TikTok star, Dylan Mulvaney, on The Drew Barrymore Show. Mulvaney opened up to Barrymore about the online hate that she faces as a trans woman and how she copes with it. Despite the vitriol directed at the trans community, Mulvaney remains committed to spreading joy and using comedy to bridge gaps and educate people on the realities of being a trans person.
During the interview, Mulvaney revealed that her chosen family and the advice of fellow trans icon Laverne Cox have helped her deal with the hate. Barrymore, who herself has been on the receiving end of hateful comments, knelt down on the floor with Mulvaney and the two shared a touching moment of empathy and solidarity.
