Cuando lo vi por primera vez, caminó hacia mi con el vaivén de sus caderas y un intenso labial rojo en sus labios. Jamás imaginé que detrás de esos ojos almendrados habían años de reprimir su verdadera identidad; había nacido como Carlos, pero después de 42 años podría presentarse como Andrea, como siempre debió ser desde que se sintió como una mujer.

Les cuento esta historia, porque Jaimie Wilson vivió exactamente lo mismo en otro rincón del mundo; su transformación del sexo que nació, al que verdaderamente sentía: ella nació con el cuerpo de una mujer, pero en su mente, era un chico que hoy, saca suspiros.

DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. I am posting this picture to show that not everyone has to show “signs” to be transgender. You don’t have to pass a test to prove you’re trans…and you sure as hell don’t need ANYONES approval but your own. This life is about finding yourself and becoming YOU. No one’s journey is the same…so stop comparing yourself to others. When I came out people refused to believe I was a man because of how “Feminine” I presented for 18 years. So why am I posting this comparison? Because I want people to see it doesn’t matter what some LOOKS like…if someone has the guts to tell you “I’m transgender” “I’m gay” “I’m bisexual” anything like that PLEASE BELIEVE them and be there for them because stereotypes need to be broken. #ftm #transman #transgender #transguy #transisbeautiful #trans #femaletomale #lgbtpride #polysexual #saga #genderfluid #queer #bisexual #noh8 #lgbt #gay #lesbian #loveislove #transformation #pride #blueeyes #beforeandafter #transpride #selflove #bodypositivity #loveyourself #vitamint #progress

Si ves a Jaimie en la calle, probablemente te darías vuelta a mirarlo; su impresionante musculatura, y enormes ojos azules cautivan a cualquiera. Nadie se imaginaría que es uno de los 1,4 millones de transgéneros que vive en Estados Unidos actualmente.

I’m very thankful for the support you all have shown me with my music. I don’t always talk about it, but music has been a journey of its own for me. I started writing and performing from the time I was little. Before my transition I had big opportunities happening for me with my music. I had a decision to make…Be myself and lose all my music opportunities, or keep living the life my family wanted of me and get to further my music career. I ultimately chose to be myself. Which did have its consequences. I lost my voice for months because of hormone replacement, I could not sing at all for what felt like forever. I felt like I was being punished for being myself. One day I picked up guitar and started to write again. That’s when I realized music never failed me. Music never ran away when times got shitty or gave up on me, so why should I give up on it? I began to practice and finally found my voice. I never thought I would get another shot with my music, but so many amazing things are happening and I couldn’t be more grateful. So I want this to be my way of sending out a message that if you’re ever faced with the decision to be YOU or be someone that other people want you to be…always chose to be yourself. You may not realize it now, but the struggle is worth it and you will end up in places you never imagined. You all make my dreams come true and make this all possible so THANK YOU #trans #transmen #transman #transgender #transisbeautiful #blueeyes #headshot #ftm #femaletomale #lgbt #lovewins #loveislove #nohate #dream #instadaily #progress #transformationtuesday #queer #instagood #bodypositive #gay #selfmademan #instaselfie #instahub #instagay #selflove #goals #loveyourself #pride

En el 2015, este chico comenzó su transición de mujer a hombre. Algo que fue muy chocante para sus familiares y amigos.

Someone sent me this from Twitter! This is awesome lol. Had to share because it’s perfect for #transformationtuesday Really though, never let the world take away your smile. I may have lost mine for a little bit, but now I’ve found myself and my smile again. #trans #transmen #transman #transgender #transisbeautiful #blueeyes #headshot #ftm #femaletomale #lgbt #lovewins #loveislove #nohate #dream #instadaily #progress #lgbtq #queer #instagood #bodypositive #gay #selfmademan #instaselfie #instahub #instagay #selflove #goals #loveyourself #pride

“Al principio estaba asustado de revelar que era transgénero porque ‘nunca di ninguna señal’, decía la gente”.

Photos like this usually don’t make the cut for shoots but it was too funny not to share right before this pic was taken a huge wave crashed over me! Who knew Florida’s oceans could actually be cold? #throwback to an awesome shoot though. Got some really good shots but this one made me LOL #transgender #transisbeautiful #blueeyes #headshot #ftm #beach #malemodel #lgbt #lovewins #photography #nohate #paradise #instadaily #progress #lgbtq #queer #instagood #bodypositive #gay #Florida #instaselfie #instahub #instagay #selflove #jeans #loveyourself #pride

Después de 2 años de tratamiento de testosterona, cirugías y un arduo trabajo en el gimnasio, Jaimie de 21 años, muestra los resultados de su gran trabajo en su cuenta de Instagram, donde tiene más de 300 mil seguidores.

You must be willing to let go of the life you have planned, in order to have the life that is waiting for you. #trans #transmen #transman #transgender #transisbeautiful #blueeyes #headshot #ftm #femaletomale #malemodel #lgbt #lovewins #loveislove #nohate #dream #instadaily #progress #lgbtq #queer #instagood #bodypositive #gay #selfmademan #instaselfie #instahub #instagay #selflove #goals #loveyourself #pride

A pesar que su progreso es asombroso, las personas cercanas a él lo critican por ser “demasiado masculino”.

“Perdí a mi familia y la mayoría de mis amigos desde que comencé mi transición, pero en el proceso, encontré a quienes de verdad de preocupaban por mí”.

Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were always meant to be in the first place. #trans #transmen #transman #transgender #transisbeautiful #blueeyes #headshot #ftm #femaletomale #lgbt #lovewins #loveislove #nohate #transformationtuesday #instadaily #progress #lgbtq #queer #instagood #bodypositive #gay #selfmademan #instaselfie #instahub #instagay #selflove #goals #loveyourself #pride #beforeandafter

Pero a él no escucha a sus críticos. En cambio, sigue con su vida: “¿Cuál es el fondo de todo esto?, Tú no eres quién las personas piensan que eres, eres quién sabes que eres”, declaró este joven músico County que se prepara para tocar en el festival Sziget en Budapest, en Hungría en agosto junto a The Chainsmokers, P!Nk y Wiz Khalifa.

Don’t care how annoying this is I fucking love this song (What Ifs by Kane Brown) I’ve learned to smile through the bullshit in life! Sometimes you just gotta go for a cruise and jam out to some good tunes. #jeep #jeeplife #ftm #transgender #transisbeautiful #femaletomale #lgbtpride #music #singer #boy #trans #cuteguy #transformation #coversong #lgbt #model #loveislove #musician #pride #nohate #selfie #selflove #countryboy #lukebryan #florida #floridaboy
