However, this news did not go down well with right-wingers as they started fuming over her win. They began calling out Virgin Atlantic as well as Jaguar, which powered the awards, and shared homophobic comments, saying this wasn't a good message for real women. Right-wing social media users took to X, formerly Twitter, to post all the comments with one person even saying:

In her acceptance speech, Dylan said,

"No matter how hard I try, or what I wear, or what surgeries I have, I will never reach an acceptable version of womanhood by those hateful people’s standards."

She added that as long as the q*eer community saw her for her truth, she would be okay. Dylan also talked about the negative comments she received in the past and how people tried to bring her down but failed.
