Check Out Eight Female Celebrities That Were Born Male But Underwent Surgery To Change Their Gender

 

Celebrities are famous people in our society. They are supposed to be a role model to others because they are always in the spotlight.

Quite unfortunate that some of us see them as our idols without having knowledge about their past and what lie underneath their skins.

In this article, I will state some of the famous Hollywood’s female celebrities who we may not know were born male i.e. transgender celebrities.

1. Amiyah Scott: Amiyah Scott grew up as Arthur Scott and was from a humble background.

He was a basketball star.

Amiyah underwent gender transformation and by the time she was 23 years old, she had all the necessary procedures to be fully a woman completed.

She later started her modeling career and became famous amongst singers, rappers and athletes.

She’s now a model turned actress.

2. Lavern Cox: Lavern Cox was born male. However, growing up as a kid, he usually tells everyone that he was a girl and was ridiculed by everyone.

Bruce finally transformed into Caitlyn after she completed her very last surgery.
