Tysoncame out as transgenderback in July when she appeared on content creatorAnthony Padilla’s show, revealing that she changed her pronouns and the spelling of her name.
“I am a woman! She/her” she said at the time. “I’ve never said that publicly, but I’ve been fully confident in that decision for over a year now.”
Tyson explained that she was fully able to accept herself after starting hormone replacement, and after she grew out her hair and was more public with her femininity.
“I wasn’t quite sure who I was yet, but I knew I was not cisgender. So I needed the freedom to be able to express myself and be able to figure out who I was,” she explained.
“6 months on HRT!!🥰” she captioned the photo.
