Singer Nevaeh Jolie Comes Out as Trans: 5 Things You Should Know

Nevaeh Jolie has opened up about his identity.

National Coming Out Day was on Monday and Nevaeh Jolie took the opportunity to share that they are transgender with the world. 

"For a while now I’ve been afraid," began the "Screwed Up" singer on Instagram. "For a long time I would pray my thoughts would lessen, I would fall to the floor and cry and ask God why… was it ever going to stop? I would talk to myself in public just to calm my anxiety, have to run to the restroom and check in with the version of me I felt no one else could see… even though I never felt like I wasn’t myself, engaging with ppl, I just knew nobody knew what I thought of myself when I looked in the mirror. And why I was so sad. I saw a boy. In a girls body. Who was hiding and doing a good job at it… but there would also be times I just felt like everyone around me knew my secret."

He opened up about journey to make peace with himself. "I created a version of myself that was toxic, I demonized myself, and convinced myself I’d never be able to love. After moving away from home and just experiencing the world and how my dysphoria (before I even knew what that was) worsened, I finally did What I was dreading … I looked up the word ‘transgender’. From there I dived into so many stories and cried so much I could feel so much more than I ever had. I had to come to terms with myself." 

He will begin hormone therapy very soon.

And come to terms with themself, they did. Jolie talked "to God, thought if I just came out to my immediate circle it would be fine it would be cool maybe even eventually it would go away… I was in love and that another story but… 3 years later I've broken down….got up.. after intense therapy, I have joined communities, I have been more and more vocal with my friends and family…I've survived… and now… I’m LIVING."

"In two days I’ll be beginning hormone therapy," Jolie wrote. "It feels like I’m saying goodbye but I’m saying hello. I’m Nevaeh. The mf playa."

The R&B star is 20-years-old.

He's already collaborated with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Jimmie Gutch and appeared in videos with Soulja Boy and more. And his career is only just beginning.
