Jay Manuel Previously Opened Up About His Transition
Another aspect to Jay’s story with Pamela in Jay And Pamela scenes is the fact that he is a trans man. So, along with dealing with all the medical things he has to face, Jay also had to come to terms with who he really was on the inside, and to follow that path despite it being a scary one.
Jay Manuel has previously opened up about his transition journey, saying: “Something a lot of people don’t know about me is I am a transgender man. Once I started to realize that I was actually a guy, was probably somewhere in high school. I just didn’t have the words to articulate how I felt. I’ve been out to my family for over five years now and I’m just really grateful that I have, you know, a great partner and my parents are accepting off the bat.”

Jay And Pamela: See More Pics Of Jay Prior To Transition
With Jay Manuel and Pamela Chavez now in the spotlight since the premiere of Jay And Pamela, many fans are digging into their pasts, including finding pics of Jay before he made his transition into who viewers see today.

Speaking more about what he went through to get to where he is today, Jay said: “I feel like there’s nothing more powerful, at least for me, than sharing your truth and being who you are, and, of course, sharing it on this big of a platform. It’s way different than within the realm of just people that you kind of know. However, I think there’s something to say about just leaning into who you are and that authenticity, and I feel like that’s something that will be seen just throughout the show. It’s not even just the transgender aspect of things but just being authentic to who we are as a whole, and everything that encompasses us as people.”
