She is also deep in her gender euphoria posting, THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Coming out as transgender on my social media was one of the scariest things I have ever done. The love and support I was shown lifted my spirits and gave me hope. Ill have more to say soon. For now...thank you. (@) While there were, unsurprisingly, hateful responses to Isabellas coming out on X, which have become endemic of the social media platform, but the support from fans was actually overwhelming. Good for you and I hope that you and your family are doing well and everyone is safe and happy.
