Surviving Beergate & Escaping Trans-Chasers (w/ Dylan Mulvaney)

TikTok sensation Dylan Mulvaney joins Nicole to share what it's like dating after transitioning in the public eye, including handling trans-chasers, dating straight men who don't live up to the hype, and her hot affair with Irish royalty. She opens up about navigating the aftermath of the infamous "BeerGate" controversy, and why being ignored on a gay cruise felt surprisingly affirming. Plus, Nicole shares the time she performed sketch comedy for Dolly Parton.
