Trinity the Tuck came out as trans non-binary and said she wants others to know “they aren’t alone” in a heartfelt statement to fans.
“Years ago after starting drag I seriously questioned how I identified with my gender,” she wrote on 31 March. “That’s why I altered my body starting at the age of 21 to look more feminine and also started hormone therapy for a short period. I stopped because I personally don’t know that I would be comfortable living as female with the way I’d physically look.”
Trinity explained that although she is unsure of what the future holds, she identifies as “trans-NB.”
“Everyone has their own journey I suppose,” they continued.
“I’ve spoke with many of my friends who are trans to get their thoughts and insight over the years.
“I still don’t know where my journey will take me but I am trans-NB.
“I wanted to share my feelings in hopes that others who felt like me would know they aren’t alone. Sending out love! I hope it finds you.”
