, and opened up about growing up transgender, and how she was essentially forced into coming out publicly., which she posted on Jan. 13, after being blackmailed.
The beauty vlogger explained as much in her original video, sharing,"We live in a world where other people hate on people that are truly themselves. I have been blackmailed by people that wanted to leak my story to the press… And at first it was frightening... to know that there are people out there that are so evil that they can't respect someone's true identity… They feel like I'm too scared for people to know who I truly am. I'm not scared.
"To me, I just always was so confused. I was like, 'Why do I have to wear that?' Or, 'Why don't I have long hair?' And I'm really grateful... because my mom is a queen," she said."I was like, 'Mom, I really want to wear girl clothes. And she was like, 'If you want to wear girl clothes, you're gonna wear them.'"
Reflecting on her experience and the support she's gotten, de Jager admitted that being out and open about her true self is a new feeling, and she's looking forward to hopefully helping and inspiring others.
