    I love Aja! She is so pretty but more importantly her personality, talent, style and sass are off the chart❤

    I appreciate and love Aja so much! She gets so much unnecessary hate. She is such an insanely talented performer and has evolved into such an amazing advocate for the trans community. Keep slaying babes!

    To those in the comments who are weird and have a problem with a community they are not a part of nor have any Knowledge of… you’re sad. Others living their personal life has nothing to do with you nor does it affect you. Just know that as long as I am alive; I am going to happier than you’ll ever be and be catapulted into greatness for being who I am while you chat in comments about DNA, and trying to make me feel less affirmed. I can get vocal fem surgery to change my voice, but you could never wash away bitterness over something that has nothing to do with you. That’s just sad.

      Not understanding something doesn’t equal hating someone. Personally I don’t understand a person being born one sex and wanting to become the opposite. If I had a friend, family member etc I’d want them to be happy even if I don’t understand their choice.

      You can refer to yourself as you please. People, have a right to an opinion and no one has a right to get salty. Thats the beauty of the 1st Amendment. If, you can use pronounce he/she, WE can use they/them. You fall in one of "them" categories. Until your uterus is stretched delivering a 8 pound baby, or bleed from said uterus, or produce milk for that baby you're not a she but a them. Them meaning a transgenger female. Stop trying to change nature. If you want to LOOK like a woman go right ahead, more power to you, much blessings and may the money overflow for ya! But, being a woman is not running your mouth, swinging your hair, smacking your lips, you know...all the overkill shiii y'all do. It's a physical and mental preparation of which NOT ONE MAN WILL EVER KNOW! AGAIN, good luck being you.

      @@jollymollyramram9702 it’s not a choice. The same way being gay or straight is not a choice. I don’t think anyone is comparing hate to understanding. You can definitely lack understanding but still show empathy and compassion for other individuals. I don’t have a problem with people not understanding what it is to be trans but I have a problem with as people who go out their way to be extremely hateful and whining so bad to point out the fact that someone was assigned a different gender at birth to me. That’s just so tacky and weird. Obsessing over the genitals that someone was born with will never not be weird. So I hear what you’re saying, but I think that what you’re saying is just kind of different from what I am speaking of.

      I think being gay/straight is different as that’s about sexuality. Feeling you’re born into the wrong gender is a big deal imo. I respect that from your view it’s not a choice. That’s the part I find challenging but that’s just my opinion. You look good though😊✌🏽🌸

    Love Aja. Do not love her journey!
    Major fans never made aware of who has made negative comments. A transition we had to see to believe.
    Then, a full on assault.
    Zero notice
    Zero media
    Zero followers
    Brand new Aja arrives still with zero talent!
    New Aja is on the scene. Yay!
    Doing what? Nothing. Yay!

      If you have to say what your parents are for people to know you're Black, you aren't Black. Your race is what you are seen as not what other people you're related to are seen as. I really doubt people think "Black" when they see you at first glance.

      @@afrokidd1083 that is not how that works. It’s a balance of skin color and features. I Do not have European features. I am clearly a person of color. Also to say stuff like that says that I have never dealt with racism toward blackness which I certainly have. I have been called N*****, told by people that they don’t date black people, had racism internally from my adoptive family, etc. ofc I know these things and so do other people. I am very secure in my blackness. I was simply correcting the OP. Just so you know blackness comes in all shades and sizes. I stand up and advocate for my community regardless if I have ever been made to feel like I am not black enough. Because I am not white and I don’t know much about my Native indigenous heritage esp.
