Gay lifestyle magazine Attitude is facing backlash after naming transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney as its 'Woman of the Year.'
The US TikTok star, who documented her transition on the video sharing platform last year, accepted the title this week at the Virgin Atlantic sponsored awards bash in London.
But critics slammed the decision, accusing the awards of 'gaslighting women everywhere' with prominent feminist campaigner Maya Forstater calling it an 'insult.'
In her acceptance speech Mulvaney said being honoured with the gong 'from a queer publication' 'means so much more to me.'
She said: 'Some see me as the woman of the year, some see me as the woman of a year and some change as I only publicly came out online 560 days ago - and some people don't see me as a woman at all.'
But speaking to MailOnline, Maya Forstater said: 'It is an insult to women. It is hard to imagine something more misogynist than to pronounce that no woman has achieved anything more significant this year through their work than a man putting on a dress and having cosmetic surgery.'
Posting an image of Attitude's magazine cover with Mulvaney on the front, Piers Morgan wrote on X: 'Another ludicrous slap in the face to actual women.'
TV personality Charly Arnolt also tweeted: 'There are nearly 4B women in the world, and of course Dylan Mulvaney wins 'Woman of the Year'.
TalkTV presenter and NHS GP Dr Renee Hoenderkamp added: 'This is just gaslighting women everywhere.'
Others congratulated Mulvaney and said she looked 'stunning' on Attitude magazine's front cover.
American TikTok star Mulvaney was given the title this week after spending much of the first half of the year embroiled in controversy over her Bud Light partnership, which cost the beer company $400million in sales.

God. it’s time. the world has gone mad. call us home.
An obscure magazine nobody has ever heard of trying to gin up publicity. Yawn.
Strangely, I find him attractive. And I have a deep desire for Bud Light.
Apparently they’ve conceded that men really are better at everything...even being women.
Fixed it!
A magazine for mentally disturbed perverts awards another mentally disturbed pervert.
i am inclined to buy more jeremy’s chocolate now.
Publicity (st)unt......................
HAHAHA. Suck up sisters. Thanks to your feminist movement men are now better at everything. Even better at being women.
This just goes to show that men are better than women at everything... including at being a woman.
Apparently they’ve decided that not only are men better at being women than actual women, but that men don’t even need extensive practice to outshine them.
The battle of Feminism concludes with the victory of women supporting men outclassing them as women.
The world was always mad, and it is actually better than it was historically. Remember most of the Apostles were murdered horribly.
What you are really sad for is the loss that Christians had of power for a short period of history. But I would argue that it was never natural for Christians to hold power in this world. We are called to reject this world, and be set apart.
Overly dramatic. “Fury”.
Nope. It’s leftists neutering and killing themselves.
So, it is a gay magazine, what do you expect?
‘It is an insult to women. It is hard to imagine something more misogynist than to pronounce that no woman has achieved anything more significant this year through their work than a man putting on a dress and having cosmetic surgery.’
Well said.
Suck it fembots.
Rapinoe must be pissed.
