Following online harassment and threats, YouTube star NikkieTutorials was inspired to share that she is transgender: 'That chance [to come out on my own terms] has been taken away from me.'
NikkieTutorialsThe 25-year-old star uploaded a 17-minute YouTube video titled,""Today I am here to share something with you that I've always wanted to share with you one day, but under my own circumstances, and it looks like that chance has been taken away from me," the beauty guru began her video."So today, I am taking back my own power and I have to tell you something.
"Planet Earth is full of labels, and I never felt comfortable with labels. I wanted to be my own person, my own identity, my own human being without any rules, without any labels, without any restrictions," she continued."It is a brand new year, it's 2020, and I want to start the year off with the truth. I want to start the year off by finally revealing a part of my life that has made me who I am.
"When I was younger, I was born in the wrong body, which means that I am transgender," Nikkie shared."It's so surreal saying this. Filming this video is scary, but it feels so liberating and freeing. I've been wanting to share this side of myself to all of you for so long but I could never figure out the timing."Sadly, Nikkie explained the reason for sharing her truth today was due to being blackmailed by people who wanted to"leak" her story to the media.
Moreover, she hopes that by coming out, she can inspire others."You can be you," she said."You are in charge of how you want to live your life. I am here to openly share that I am transgender, and with this message, I want to inspire little Nikkie's around the world, who feel insecure, who feel out of place, who are misunderstood. I hope by me standing up and being free, that it inspired others to do the same.
When talking about her mom's support, the beauty guru became emotional."Growing up, I think the number one thing I'm the most thankful for is my mom... love you, Mom," she said."She has been there for me since day one."
