Former YouTube creator and "Glamorous" star Miss Benny came out as transgender in a recent essay. “I’m a proud person, but admittedly it’s still a bit daunting to say those words publicly. Let’s just say I’m one of those girls who grew up in a religious Texas household where queerness was totally not the vibe.” But during the pandemic, Miss Benny “privately transitioned” and has been "privately living" as a transgender woman "for the last few years." The positive effects transitioning had on her mental health were immediate. With Netflix's new series #Glamorous, starring Kim Cattrall, came an opportunity for Miss Benny to be her full self on camera — and to bring some of her authentic story to the screen.
