21-year-old Jaimie Wilson from Florida made a brave decision back in 2015.
Jaimie decided to start his journey of transitioning from female to male, which shocked and alienated most of his friends and family.
“At first I was scared to come out as transgender because I didn’t give any ‘signs,’ as people say,” Jaimie shared on Instagram with his 300,000 followers.
After 2 years of testosterone treatment, therapy, surgery, and hard work at the gym, Jaimie sculpted himself into the man he’s always wanted to be.
Jaimie shared that people from his previous life have chastised him for being ‘too feminine’ to become a man.
Ironically, his new friends within the transgender community have criticized him for being ‘too masculine.’
“People say that I’m trying too hard to be like a cisgendered male,” Jaimie said.
He continued, “You are NOT who people think you are, you are who you know you are.”
The aspiring country musician is scheduled to perform at Sziget Festival in Budapest this August, alongside The Chainsmokers, P!nk, and Wiz Khalifa.
