Share
On Friday, July 11, Amanda shared a new post updating her followers about her life as a trans woman and as a drag entertainer.
"Greetings Employees," Amanda wrote in a statement, addressing her fans and followers.
"The time has finally come! On Monday I undergo life changing gender affirming surgery. Whenever people have asked me lately how/what I'm feeling, my response has usually been 'I feel all of it!' So many thoughts and feelings flying around inside this big beautiful brain, but here's a few of them for your enjoyment:
The first feeling is immense pride in myself for making it to this part. In the most non- 'wah wah woah is me' way possible, the last two years have felt like an absolute sh-[poop emoji]-tstorm of emotions as I navigated my Saturn Return, finally took the leap of starting my medical transition, went on RuPaul's Drag Race, and everything that's happened since."
Amanda, who is best known for competing on season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2024, came out as trans the same year. She previously revealed that the show helped her find her identity as a transgender woman.
“But honestly, being on set and having people call me Amanda all the time, like ‘she/her ’ing me…push[ed] me out of the nest a little bit and crack[ed] the egg,” she previously said of the show.
While Amanda herself won't be personally posting to her socials, she has a representative updating her accounts with new content and dealing with her liking and commenting on posts.
Amanda concluded the post by thanking all of her donors for their continuous support.
“I could not have done this without all of your support. The fact that I am able to take the next few weeks to recover without having to worry about basic necessities like rent/food/etc is such a gift, and it’s a gift I don’t take for granted. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
