In addition to dealing with problems and complications that arise from his medical condition, Jay Manuel is also navigating life as an openly trans man. This is something Jay has spoken about in TLC scenes, and many people admire his courage and bravery, especially putting his life in the spotlight like this.

Speaking about his gender identity and what he has had to go through, Jay previously 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.”
