Before and after: His female-to-male transition photos are in the comments 👀
These days, talking about gender identity and transition is more open than ever. People who embrace their true selves share their stories, giving us a real look at what it’s like to go through this journey.
One such person is Jamie Wilson—a true warrior and advocate for transgender rights. Through his powerful female-to-male transition photos, the 28-year-old shows the world how amazing it is to live as your authentic self.
**A Journey of Transformation**
Jamie was assigned female at birth, but in 2015, he began transitioning to the gender he identified with. He has undergone testosterone treatment for several years, and his transition has been both tough and inspiring.
“When I came out, people refused to believe I was a man because of how ‘feminine’ I presented for 18 years,” he says.
About a year into his transition, Jamie shared before-and-after photos on Facebook that quickly went viral, amassing 13 million views. Actress Ruby Rose remarked he was “looking like a young Channing Tatum,” while rapper Lil Wayne simply commented, “Wow.”
**Music, Modeling, and Advocacy**
Beyond his work as a folk-pop musician and model—gracing Candy magazine’s cover and starring in 2(x)ist underwear ads—Jamie is an outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. He uses his platform to connect with hundreds of thousands of followers, openly sharing his journey.
“Music has the power to bring people outside of the community into the community,” he told *The New York Times*.
**Standing Strong Against Critics**
Despite immense support, Jamie has faced critics who claim he’s “too masculine” or “didn’t show signs.” He’s also been cut off from most family members.
His powerful response on Instagram, where he has over 300,000 followers, delivered a clear message:
“You don’t need to pass any tests to prove you’re trans… And you sure as hell don’t need ANYONE’S approval but your own. This life is about finding yourself and becoming YOU. No one’s journey is the same.”
Jamie’s story isn’t just about transformation—it’s a guide for others navigating their own journeys, creating community and belonging for all who deserve to be seen and celebrated.
