Jazz Jenningsis having a good gap year.
TheI Am Jazzstar announced last fall that she was taking a year off of school anddeferring her Harvard admission.
“I just needed a year to focus on my mental well-being and get in the right head space.
It seems that she is doing just that.
The reality star just announced that she had a third gender confirmation surgery, saying that it went well.
“I’m feeling so great after completing my third surgery!”
she wrote in anInstagrampost.
“This third procedure was for cosmetics, and I’m super happy with the results.
Thank you to everyone who has followed my journey and supported me along the way.”
The good thing though is that it was only cosmetic and external so it wasn’t too dramatic.”
She added, “My life wasn’t in danger.
“This has been a real journey, hasn’t it?”
“We knew it would be tough it turned out tougher than any of us imagined.
I think in hindsight we would have never sent you home from the hospital.”
Jennings' father, Greg, wasn’t as laid back about the complications as his daughter had been.
Jennings hoped to inspire other people byshowing the world her scars.
“We all have bodies some are bigger, some are smaller, some have scars.”
“I have no regrets when it comes to the surgery,” she said.
Yes, experiencing the complications sucked, but it all worked out in the end.”
Jennings added that gender confirmation is lifesaving and should be covered by insurance.
“However, I disagree wholeheartedly.
Gender dysphoria is a real condition and this surgery saves lives.
It IS a necessity for so many transgender people and should absolutely be covered by insurance.
So many trans people are suicidal due to the insecurities they feel being stuck in the wrong body.”
