She finally revealed “I plan on making them into a crown,”. Though many have mocked her decision, the trans woman shared that she is ignoring the haters.
Clapping back at haters
“Getting my ribs removed doesn’t change the fact that I’m a kind loving trans girl,” she explained to the outlet. “I know some of your moms walk around with [Brazilian butt lifts], how is this any different?” she added. “It is my money, my body and I’m going to do what I want with it,” she said
