A transgender woman has revealed that she doesn’t tell men the truth about her gender identity before meeting her because people are “too judgmental,” saying she likes to wait until she’s sure she wants to take things further.
Adia Daniel, 22, from Canada, always felt something was “missing” when she was growing up and at 16, after watching a YouTube video, realized she was transgender.
Regarding the video discussion about being in the ‘wrong body’, Adia told her mother and she was soon put on a waiting list for hormones. She eventually undergoes gender confirmation surgery in 2021, during which the penis is removed and converted into a vagina.

She explained: (People tell me) I’m lying to them or I’m deceiving them.
Adia Danielle believes that people judge them so harshly that they don’t know that she’s a trans woman before she met them often holding them back.

I want him to get to know me and also, I will not be rejected by a man that I can reject. So I only tell them when I am interested and when I want to take things further.

While her mom was very accepting, her dad wasn’t on board at first — but he’s now her biggest supporter.
She believes not much is known about transgender people outside of society, saying there is a perception that people ‘get up’ and decide their gender – when in reality it is not a choice.
Adia also claims that studies have shown that her brain does not identify with being male and looks similar to that of a woman, since hormone therapy has been shown to provide a feeling of “true happiness”.
She said: ‘Once you start the transition process, it’s been proven that the brain lights up and that’s when you feel real joy.
You can’t really be proud or feel good about the way people look at you (before), you know that when people look at you, it’s not who you really are.

I developed blood clots where I couldn’t pee anymore and so they had to leave it in.
A year ago I had to go back because his job (wasn’t right) and it looked so bad.
It was a really tough time for me, because I went from having something between my legs that I hate, to this.
I would never touch it and cut off contact with that area (of my body). ‘

She added, “When I saw that video and learned I was trans, it pretty much saved my life, because I was in a horrible place.”
You can’t care less what anyone else says and shut everyone down.
Focus on yourself and focus on who you were in the past (compared to now) and not where other people are.
As I got older, before I moved, I expressed myself through art and drew a lot of feminine energy and faces.
“I really want to make a living from my art when I’m older and have a gallery — I want my name to be known.”
Adya says she often gets backlash from men because she didn’t reveal to them before she met them that she was born male, but says she didn’t because of this judgment.
The social media influencer wants to raise awareness of other young people struggling with their identities
Earlier this year Ollie London, from Hertford, revealed that he was ‘dismissing the transition’ from trans woman to man who had attacked ‘wake-up’ culture – which he claims encourages often vulnerable teens to question their identity unnecessarily.
The social media personality, who previously underwent surgery to look like male Korean idols, has criticized celebrities like Harry Styles and Timothee Chalamet, and shows like Ru Paul’s Drag Race, which he claims promote gender fluidity – saying they are dangerous for teens who They are encouraged to question their identity.
Ollie, who spent six months living as a woman, underwent female facial surgery to smooth out his features before realizing, he says now, that he was actually happier living as a man.
He said: ‘Now there are a lot of teens moving on. It’s something seen as trendy and cool for Gen Z and fueling the awakened people.
I think celebrities like Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet, perhaps due to their PR, are enamored because they are made to look gay or girly in order to be cool and trendy. It’s a slippery slope.
