  • Gaga emphasized that there is still 'immense work' to be done to make room for transgender lives to be cherished and upheld by all of us, and that she feels '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.

  • The upcoming Joker: Folie á Deux actress acknowledged that she doesn't speak for the trans community, but expressed hope that 'all women will come together to honor us ALL for International Women’s Day,' and to eventually see a day 'that all women are celebrated equally' in culture.

  • Though many praised the photo of Gaga and Mulvaney, some took issue with its existence, with one user calling it a 'disgrace' that the image had become synonymous with a celebration of International Women's Day.
