Jaimie Wilson – a trans musician – is sharing photos of his transition online in a bid to break down stereotypes that the trans community face on a daily basis. Wilson makes a powerful statement about believing what people say, and that if somebody has the guts to tell you who they really are, you shouldn’t doubt that because of how they look. Although clearly Jaimie was beautiful both before and after his transition.

DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. I am posting this picture to show that not everyone has to show "signs" to be transgender. You don't have to pass a test to prove you're trans…and you sure as hell don't need ANYONES approval but your own. This life is about finding yourself and becoming YOU. No one's journey is the same…so stop comparing yourself to others. When I came out people refused to believe I was a man because of how "Feminine" I presented for 18 years. So why am I posting this comparison? Because I want people to see it doesn't matter what some LOOKS like…if someone has the guts to tell you "I'm transgender" "I'm gay" "I'm bisexual" anything like that PLEASE BELIEVE them and be there for them because stereotypes need to be broken. #ftm #transman #transgender #transguy #transisbeautiful #trans #femaletomale #lgbtpride #polysexual #saga #genderfluid #queer #bisexual #noh8 #lgbt #gay #lesbian #loveislove #transformation #pride #blueeyes #beforeandafter #transpride #selflove #bodypositivity #loveyourself #vitamint #progress

In the pic, Jaimie shows why people were shocked to hear about his transition – because he always presented himself so effeminately before. Since starting his account, he’s amassed over 100,000 supportive followers in less than just two years, and expresses his happiness and gratitude in the post below.

•••100K••• I cannot believe I reached 100,000 supporters. I started this account June 12th 2015 for personal use to document my transition and track my progress, I had no idea others would join me on this lifelong journey. I lost my family…I thought I had no support…but I was wrong…thank you for being my encouragement when I thought I had none. I am beyond thankful for all the love you have shown and continue to show. People always say "the world is full of terrible people" but I think the opposite! The support and acceptance you all show me makes me believe the world is full of awesome people like yourselves ?? I don't know what I did to deserve you all I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL #trans #transmen #transman #transgender #transisbeautiful #blueeyes #headshot #ftm #femaletomale #malemodel #lgbt #lovewins #loveislove #nohate #dream #instadaily #progress #lgbtq #queer #instagood #bodypositive #gay #selfmademan #instaselfie #instahub #instagay #selflove #goals #loveyourself #pride

And you only have to read the comments to see how he’s makes his audience fanny flutter as well as their hearts.

We think it’s great that Jaimie is inspiring people to be their true selves, proving that trans people are beautiful and hopefully opening the minds to those less educated.
