5 trans guys who shared their beautiful transition stories to inspire others

Coming out as trans and starting to transition is usually a huge relief but can also be daunting and difficult for some.

But some trans people publicly share photos and videos which document their physical transformation as they possibly undergo hormone therapy or surgeries as part of the transition they want to undergo.

These trans people have bravely shared time lapses, letters to their teenage selves or even duetted with themselves in order to inspire others to come out and live as themselves, where it is safe to do so.

Jaimie Wilson

A 21-year-old trans musician who lives in Florida, Wilson has shared images pre, post and during his transition.

Boasting over 200k Facebook followers, Wilson is called brave but it hasn’t been an easy journey to where he is right now.

Wilson told PinkNews earlier this year that since he came out as trans, he has “lost” many of his closest relatives and friends.

“I’ve lost my family and most of my friends since I started my transition but in the process, I’ve found out who really cares about me,” he said.

He has, because of his current appearance, also been criticised by some people who say he is “trying too hard” to be a man.

Music, he says has “never failed” him.

“Music never ran away when times got shitty or gave up on me, so why should I give up on it?”
