Nats Getty comes out as transgender: 'I'm taking my time to discover my most authentic self'

Nats Getty has come out as ‘transgender non-binary’ in a revealing post on Instagram, coupled with a YouTube video documenting gender confirmation surgery.

The model, artist and activist, 28, posed with spouse Gigi Gorgeous in the Instagram share on Tuesday afternoon, which saw the pair shirtless and Nats showing the scars from the procedure.

Gigi, also 28, smiled lovingly at Nats as she wrapped her arms around Nats. 

The second slide in the post was an emotional and informative text post shedding more light on Nats’ transition. 

‘I am transgender, non-binary. I have spent my entire life not in sync with the body I was born with and confined by an outward appearance that did not match my mind of soul,’ Getty wrote. 

‘It wasn’t until recently that I was even comfortable admitting this to myself, once I was able to look inwards and truly reflect on my authentic self.’

The member of the famous and wealthy Getty family went on to express gratitude for being able to get surgery, while acknowledging that ‘it’s a privilege that I’m even able to move forward with this when for many it’s an impossible option due to their circumstance.’

‘My physical transition is new, so I’m taking my time to discover my most authentic self and which pronouns best suit me,’ Nats later added. 

‘For now, I know one thing is for certain. I am Nats. To my trans brothers and sisters and non-binary family: I am here for you, I am here with you, and I love you.’

The post came on the same day as a video dropped on Gigi’s YouTube channel, documenting Nats’ recent experience in San Francisco getting the ‘top surgery’.

The exhaustive 16-minute clip covered the pre-op day, day of operation as well as a bit of footage after the procedure was complete.

At the beginning of the video, a brief text message from Nats appeared.

‘I am allowing myself time with my new body to decide what pronouns best suit me,’ the message read. 

‘During this time, some people refer to me as she/her and I don’t find it insulting because I am still on my journey of figuring out what pronouns work for me.’ 

Present as part of Getty’s entourage in San Francisco was Gottmik, also known as Kade Gottlieb, who is the first trans man on RuPaul’s Drag Race, appearing on the current 13th season.
