LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Following a heartwarming International Women's Day tribute shared by transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney and Lady Gaga, Mulvaney faced a barrage of transphobic comments online.

Lady Gaga stands up against online hate targeting Dylan Mulvaney 

In a passionate post, Lady Gaga expressed her dismay at the hate directed towards Mulvaney and herself, "It’s appalling to me that a post about National Women’s Day by Dylan Mulvaney and me would be met with such vitriol and hatred," she wrote in the lengthy message.

"When I see a newspaper reporting on hatred but calling it 'backlash' I feel it is important to clarify that hatred is hatred, and this kind of hatred is violence."

"But it is not surprising given the immense work that it’s obvious we still have to do as a society to make room for transgender lives to be cherished and upheld by all of us," she continued.

"I feel very protective in this moment, not only of Dylan, but of the trans community who continues to lead the way with their endless grace and inspiration in the face of constant degradation, intolerance, and physical, verbal, and mental violence," she added. "I certainly do not speak for this community, but I have something to say."

The Grammy-winning artist reiterated her commitment to championing equality and inclusivity for all genders, urging unity and compassion on International Women's Day and beyond.

"Because people of all gender identities and races deserve peace and dignity," she explained. "May we all come together and be loving, accepting, warm, welcoming."

"May we all stand and honor the complexity and challenge of trans life—that we do not know, but can seek to understand and have compassion for. I love people too much to allow hatred to be referred to as 'backlash.' People deserve better," she concluded.

Mulvaney responded to Lady Gaga's message with gratitude, expressing her deep appreciation for the support.

"You mean the world to me," she penned. "Love ya."
