Famous YouTuber NikkiTutorials Just Came Out As Transgender And I Love Her More Than Ever
I have followed NikkiTutorials for YEARS.
Nikki is just about the best thing to hit the makeup vlogging world. She is so knowledgeable, and her makeup looks and techniques are near flawless.
Not to mention, she is GORGEOUS, and I want to be her.
In a vlog, posted on YouTube on January 13, Nikki made the hard choice to come out to the world as a Transgender female.
I want to inspire little Nikkies around the world who feel insecure, who feel out of place, who feel misunderstood

She says he was great, and fully supportive. But, her private life is going to remain private.
I, at the end of the day, am still Nikki, and nothing changes about that. The number one thing on my channel, is my love for makeup, and the reason why the “Trans” part of me never got to the light was because I wanted my channel to be about my art.

Why did she decide today was the day to come out? She says she was blackmailed by hatefully people, who wanted to ruin her. She wanted to tell her story before it was “leaked” out of evil and hatred. Don’t worry, she has a message for those people —
We still love you, Nikki! Nothing has changed, girl!
