CNN has issued an apology for using male pronouns to refer to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney after a backlash from the left.

CNN anchor Kate Bolduan delivered the mea culpa at the end of Wednesday’s edition of “CNN News Central,” a day after national correspondent Ryan Young referred on the air to the female-identifying Ms. Mulvaney as “he” and “him.”

Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney says she felt abandoned by Bud Light after facing “more bullying and transphobia than I could have ever imagined” over her partnership with the beer giant.

In a video posted Thursday to Instagram and TikTok, she said she “was waiting for the brand to reach out to me. But they never did.” She said she should have spoken out sooner but was afraid and hoped things would get better — but they didn’t.

Dylan Mulvaney on Thursday blasted Bud Light for giving “customers permission to be as transphobic and as hateful as they want” by abandoning the trans influencer following backlash over the disastrous tie-up.

The social media star finally broke her silence with an emotional Instagram video to her 1.8 million followers, tearfully revealing that she has been “ridiculed in public” and has “felt a loneliness that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”

With Bud Light sales continuing to slide since the infamous partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney in April, Anheuser-Busch InBev’s global chief marketing officer Marcel Marcondes admitted the controversy has been a “wake-up call” for the company. 

Bud Light has lost its position as the best-selling beer in the US after facing a boycott, new figures show.

In the four weeks to 3 June sales were down by almost a quarter, according to consulting firm Bump Williams.

Some drinkers in the US stopped buying Bud Light after transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney showed off a personalised can of the beer.

It means Modelo Especial has taken the top spot, with 8.4% of US beer sales by value in the period.

Some corporation had to show how 'woke' marketing could cost an iconic American brand dearly in terms of its image, its sales, and its market capitalization.

We should all be grateful to Anheuser-Busch.

Through its special beer can produced for transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, Anheuser-Busch, in effect, volunteered for duty.
