The 18 year old Jaah(formerly called Jay), second daughter of R-Kelly
who
is also a music artist did a transgender at age 14.
Jaah said she was convinced that the only way she could express her feelings towards her fellow girls was to become a boy. Otherwise, she would be seen as a “lesbian” a word she had hated and still hates most.
She said “ I know that I like girls, but that is as far as I will go to label myself”, she said “It’s up to you how you see me. Either way, I don’t care. I stand in my truth, and why does that truth need a label?”
Jay as she was formally called is now called Jaah.
She confessed of falling into a depression and spending 3 weeks in a psychiatric hospital after coming out as a transgender at age 14.
She said the she doesn’t mind if people call her male, female, gender fluid or no binary. The bottom line is that she has achieved what she had craved for i.e. to be able to express how she feel to girls as she’s now a male.
