In a recent interview with Bored Panda, Jay Burleigh, AKA jaybaebae96 on TikTok, who also underwent a makeover, said that coming out as queer was a huge turning point in embracing who she really was. “I was terrified for so long of the judgment I’d face and the relationships I’d do but I finally decided that I needed to prioritize myself and accept who I am,” said Jay. She says that she was used to strict expectations of what made a person a woman and what made them a man. “I had to release those ideas and restructure my ideas of what made me feel more feminine and what made me feel more masculine and what just let me float in between,” said Jay. “With this, I really learned to love myself for every piece of me.”

Soon enough, more people joined in and shared their incredible glow-ups

“It doesn’t matter how hard you try, you’ll never please everyone, but by embracing yourself the self-love you feel will overcome the judgment around you,” said Jay.

Jay also adds that you should accept the idea that people will leave your life and try to look at it as a lesson, bravely and beautifully moving on despite all the hate around you. “It’s a long and hard journey but it’s well worth the climb,” said the woman.
