Lady Gaga is standing up for Dylan Mulvaney.

The "Born This Way" singer, 37, on Monday defended the TikTok star and trans activist against online hate after participating in a photo shoot with her. Mulvaney recently shared pictures with Gaga while celebrating International Women's Day and was met with many anti-trans comments that misgendered her.

"It's appalling to me that a post about National Women's Day by Dylan Mulvaney and me would be met with such vitriol and hatred," Gaga wrote. "When I see a newspaper reporting on hatred but calling it 'backlash' I feel it is important to clarify that hatred is hatred, and this kind of hatred is violence. 'Backlash' would imply that people who love or respect Dylan and me didn't like something we did. This is not backlash. This is hatred."

But Gaga wrote that the hate Mulvaney's post received was "not surprising given the immense work that it's obvious we still have to do as a society to make room for transgender lives to be cherished and upheld by all of us."

She added that she feels "very protective" of Mulvaney and the entire transgender community.

A bit back, the producers of the Oscars wheeled an addled Liza Minelli onto the stage to read the nominees for some award. Lady Gaga stood beside her and could see that Ms. Minelli was overwhelmed. Ever so tenderly, Gaga protected her. She truly is a lady.
