“I Am Coming Out” - YouTuber and makeup artist Nikkie Tutorials comes out as trans

YouTuber and makeup artist Nikkie Tutorials comes out as trans

Popular YouTube creator and makeup artist Nikkie de Jager revealed Monday she is a transgender woman to her more than 12 million followers, saying the move was prompted by attempted blackmail.

The 25-year-old, who goes by Nikkie Tutorials, said in a video that while she had always planned to tell her fans one day, someone threatened to out her to the media without her consent. The chance to reveal her journey on her own terms was taken away, "so I am taking back my own power," de Jager said.

"I can’t believe I am saying this today to all of you, for the entire world to see, but damn it feels good to finally do it. It’s time to let go and be truly free," de Jager said in the video. "When I was younger I was born in the wrong body, which means that I am transgender."
