A transgender man has taken to Instagram to show his incredible transformation.

Jaimie Wilson, a musician, said that people didn't accept that he was transgender at first as he was so feminine for the first 18 years of his life.

He added that 'no-one's journey is the same'.

He wrote: "DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. I am posting this picture to show that not everyone has to show "signs" to be transgender. You don't have to pass a test to prove you're trans...and you sure as hell don't need ANYONES approval but your own. This life is about finding yourself and becoming YOU. No one's journey is the same...so stop comparing yourself to others.

"When I came out people refused to believe I was a man because of how "Feminine" I presented for 18 years. So why am I posting this comparison? Because I want people to see it doesn't matter what some LOOKS like...if someone has the guts to tell you "I'm transgender" "I'm gay" "I'm bisexual" anything like that PLEASE BELIEVE them and be there for them because stereotypes need to be broken [sic]."

He has 114k followers on Instagram, and often speaks candidly about his transition.


When he came out as transgender, he says that his 'whole family disowned him'.

He wrote on Facebook: "Coming out as transgender was the best and worst day of my life thus far. I miss having my family in my life...I miss my parents being proud of me...but you know what I don't miss?

"I don't miss the nights I laid alone battling with my feelings...I don't miss waiting for everyone to leave the house so I could put on masculine clothes and tuck my long hair under a hat...I don't miss hiding.

"When you look at me I'm not the strongest, the tallest, or the most handsome man...but you know what I AM? I'm finally ME and god does it feel so good."

His social media posts have attracted a wealth of positive comments from fans.

Nellie Sanchez wrote: "If you want a grandma, I'm here, I love my grandsons and my granddaughters so much, if they tell me one day they are transgender, I don't care, I'm going to love them the same! I only see a human being. And by the way you are very handsome, and as a girl, you where beautiful!"

While Michael McBride added: "Thank you for sharing this! You are giving strength to those who may need it, and I wouldn't be surprised if you saved several lives in the process."

Fair play to him, it takes a lot to accept who you are.
