Julz O’Brien, who identifies as transmasculine, has recently taken to social media to express frustration over what they perceive as a gap between actor Dylan O’Brien’s public support for the LGBTQ+ community and his actions behind the scenes. Julz, who is Dylan’s sibling, shared their thoughts following renewed media attention on Dylan’s comments about having a transgender family member.
In a pointed Instagram post, Julz wrote with sarcasm, “Glad I could deepen his experience in the world,” referencing the way Dylan has spoken about his relationship with his trans sibling during press interviews. They also highlighted the actor’s absence during significant personal moments, such as Julz’s recovery from top surgery and even their recent birthday. Public documents indicate Julz underwent gender-affirming surgery in December of last year.
Dylan O’Brien received praise from fans and media outlets for his role in the indie film Ponyboi, an intersex-led thriller, and for expressing support for the trans community during the movie’s promotional campaign. Despite this, Julz’s recent posts suggest there’s been little to no contact between the siblings, with the last public photo of them together dating back to mid-2023.
