Miss Benny, a former YouTuber gaining ground as an actor on the recently launched Netflix series “Glamorous,” has revealed she is transgender.
The 24-year-old Dallas native opened up for the first time about her gender identity, sharing her backstory in an essay published by Time magazine this week.
“By 8 years old, I was praying every night to wake up and somehow be like my sisters. In the morning I would wake up in the same body, and cry,” she wrote. “Over time I became highly aware of how unwelcome LGBT topics would be in my hometown. And so I kept my head down and looked for an immediate escape.”
