On Tuesday, former YouTube partner Claire Kittrell (aka CopperCab) came out as transgender in a heartfelt video entitled "I'm done pretending. #TransPride". Kittrell gained Internet fame when her "Gingers Do Have Souls" video went viral and garnered more than 45-million views. 

In the video, the 23-year-old Hollywood Hillbillies star says, “I feel like I’m stronger now more so than I’ve ever been ... I’m learning to accept myself, and to be more comfortable in my own skin.” 

In the description of the video, Kittrell penned a touching letter to her subscribers. It reads: 

Please watch the whole way through before you judge. I am so tired. I've tried filming this 100 times today, and I am not happy with how the video went but I was fighting an anxiety attack throughout the whole thing. Not going to try filming this again. Take it or leave it, this is who I am. No longer going to hide. Thanks.

Lots Of Love xoxo
Claire.

p.s. I know I look terrible right now in the video, but in my defense I have had a lot of trouble filming this I was up all night with anxiety crying not knowing how I was going to even do this but I knew that I had to do it for my own health I needed to get this off my chest and now I'm glad that I have done so.

Despite negative feedback from trolls and assholes, Kittrell provided an update saying, "I have received an absolutely overwhelming amount of support, I've decided to upload another video this Sunday. I'm also going to vlog me going out shopping publically for the first time ... The love has most certainly overshadowed the hate." At the moment, the 10-minute video and has more than 650K views and nearly 20K comments.
