That was the best moment of my year so far,” said Mulvaney. “I feel so so happy.”<\/p>\n The star also shared how much it means to her, particularly in our current social climate.<\/p>\n “It just means a lot to me, but I also think that the fact a trans person can win an award like this in such a scary time of transphobia \u2014 it makes me feel like there’s hope,” she added.<\/p>\n Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.<\/p>\n TikTok Post Unavailable<\/strong><\/p>\n “I have learned that I am capable of more than I could’ve ever expected and that it’s worth holding on for. In the moments of dark afterwards there comes a light and I think I’m feeling light again,” continued Mulvaney.<\/p>\n “To anyone out there who doesn’t feel like they can be themselves, just know that I love you and that hopefully one day you will feel safe and loved enough to be your authentic self,” concluded Mulvaney.<\/p>\n During her acceptance speech, Mulvaney said that she was “shocked” to win the award, adding that she only ever thought she would win “maybe a Tony Award.”<\/p>\n And while the self-proclaimed “theater girl with a Streamy,” acknowledged that her TikTok fame has been a positive change in her life, “there’s also been an extreme amount of transphobia and hate, and I know that my community is feeling it.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/images.toofab.com\/image\/53\/5by4\/2023\/06\/29\/53173f22338d4929b68185630509ff39_xs.jpg\")
