One of the most common identifiers of the human race is gender. In previous years, it was as simple as 'male' or 'female' but not anymore. The word 'transgender' can be defined as sexual and behavioral tendencies that differ from conventional gender roles.
More & more men/women are making the decision to reverse gender roles, from methods as simple as dressing as the opposite sex to undergoing full-hormone procedures, including the complete sex change. Once fully transformed, those who were previously men, lead lives as heterosexual females. One in particular is Amiyah Scott, born 'Arthur Scott', photoed as both below. Rumored to have dated several high profile rappers, singers [to allegedly include Trey Songz] & athletes, Amiyah is the official 'it' girl transgender on the scene.
Her story is as follows...
Lex: Who is 'Amiyah Scott'?
Amiyah: Amiyah Scott is a WOMAN (Now) An individual who doesn't care what people say or think.. Who lives my life my way & enjoys every second of it! I don't seek attention.. It just comes (and I like it) I'm VERY intelligent, ambitious, confident & courageous.. I'm addicted to glamour & luxury.. I'm independent.. A soldier.. I fight for what's right and I don't back down! I'm very strategic & cunning.. When I say I'm going to do something I DO it, Regardless of what! I'm very loving.. Yet very guarded.. I'm a good girl *laughs*.
Lex: Where are you from, love ?
Amiyah: Born in Manhattan, raised in New Orleans..
Lex: And how old are you ?
Amiyah: 23 [1•11•88]
Lex: What is your weight/height ?
Amiyah: 5,7 130 lbs
Lex: Your current career title ?
Amiyah: Model/MakeupArtist/Entrepreneur
Lex: Okay, lets get down to it. What cosmetic procedures have you undergone ?
Amiyah: I've gotten breast augmentation, the oh-so-popular "booty shots" a very light filler in my cheeks.
Lex: Exactly how old were you when you fully became a woman ?
Amiyah: I went back & forth in HS, but I trashed & gave away my previous genders clothing at 17..
Lex: Since the change, what is your preference in men ?
Amiyah: Straight! I have a thing for bad boys.. You know, thugs.. But I like pretty boys too.. Just no bitchassness! I'm attracted to masculinity & confidence! I love a nice smile & a man with style!
Lex: Does your sex change ever get in between potential relationships ?
Amiyah: It depends.. I've gotten to the point where it's no secret.. So when approached, I immediately ask "Do you KNOW who I am?" If dudes know who I am already then its all good! Im NOT shy & I'm comfortable with myself..And if they don't.. I tell them to "Google Me" (not to be cocky) but to eliminate wasting time! If in public, I can't have the conversation that I want to in order to explain my "situation" so I ask for their phone, go to Google & search myself.. Pass it to them & walk away.. If they come back.. It's obvious. When I'm approached, I'm immediately "not interested" (it's hard when they're cute!) but I still act very nonchalant.. Saying things like "You're not ready" "This is not what you want" or "Im a very special girl" Im great with words so it's a lot of ways to say it.. But to eliminate the spill I just let them read up on me & analyze it themselves! It's a private thought process.. It's rarely just "Okay, I wanna get down" from guys..it's usually "You're lying" or "Wooooooow!! I need a moment" (With the REAL straight guys) because they do.. Excuse my language, but it fucks their heads up! Lol. This is serious & they have to register this.. But trust me, they come around! And if not, they respect my honesty & still remain cool! If a guy is attracted to me from 1st sight, learning of my past doesn't eliminate the initial attraction! Its like putting a steak on the floor & not expecting a dog to go near it! On the other hand.. I can spot a DL brother from a mile away.. The Men who are cool with it are not always the ones that "get down", they just are comfortable and appreciate beauty & drive! Im doing that damn thing, and they see that! But the dudes that's poppin off, tryna out me.. Are usually the one who slides me their number.. It's crazy!
#PAUSE: Yes, you read right. The most dramatic to react are usually the first to succumb. RING A BELL ?
Lex: Damn, thats hella crazy. Are your parents/family accepting of the new you ?
Amiyah: Of course, Now! I mean I had a great life previously, attractive.. Had girlfriends.. Great in school.. Played spots.. So they were very proud and for me to say I wanted to change they felt like I was throwing in a winning hand, but didn't know that I had a bigger one! As long as I'm successful both of my parents (and entire family) support my choice.. I mean it IS working!
Lex: Your lack of masculinity and even making this decision makes me question the presence of a male influence in your life . Was your father active in your life growing up ?
Amiyah: I have a GREAT Dad! I grew up with both parents & was very spoiled.. But I always was "too pretty"...
Lex: Oh okay, I see. What is your fondest memory of being a boy ?
Amiyah: Everything! I really had a good life & upbringing.. It was madd fun
Lex: When you were a boy, before the change, were you gay ? Or did you engage with girls ?
Amiyah: I was Bi. It was always a flip flop.. Between the two, but I was attracted to men more.. Women are sexy though! Lol
Lex: Not all men are readily willing to accept your past. In what ways are dating/relationships difficult for you ?
Amiyah: Honestly, if the World wasn't so critical I would have no problem.. Men are very attracted to me physically but are so intrigued by my mindset.. I'm very relaxed! Guys & Girls act different.. Though I had to soften up (Lol) I'm still very... Hardcore.. And they like that! I keep it real.. When I hang with straight men.. They say you look exactly how I like but act exactly like what I need.. I am the definition of "Ride or Die" I get it poppin.. I'm just real.. And they see that and appreciate that! It IS in fact the best of both worlds.. I'm strong.
Lex: Even though I KNOW you won't tell [as a girl should never kiss & tell], the people want to know which athletes/rappers you've had run ins with ?
Amiyah: I'll be vague.. Because its a bond, ya know! And that would screw up a lot, including my money! But I never wanted attention from who I've been with.. That's our business! I just make it known that i have been with quite a few to show dudes that it is in fact okay! They worship these dudes and everything they do, but little do they know, I'm what they're doing! No deception involved, by choice. They search for me, real talk! And discuss it amongst themselves.. The only ones out the loop is normal society! BUT, I've had a few spats with "famous" dudes because it's like, if y'all just told the truth the world would see!! It's hard.. I've had very emotional conversations with men in the limelight & they commend me for being WHO I am.. Because they can't be! It's hard when you're in love (Yes LOVE) but you can't come out because of your career! But I usually date rappers, singers, Athlethes.. The usual! I'm not a whore at all! I was involved from 17-22 & faithful! They waited (somewhat patiently) and even tried to lure me from "my regular dude" with extravagant gifts, but he had my heart.. I know it may seem like my list would be long with my clues.. But I just entertain elite dudes.. And my past is filled with quality, not quantity! I want the BEST! We all date.. So I'm not sex'ing every dude I chill with.. But I date like normal women.. Speaking of women, a few encounters have been with stars & their wife's, gf's or fiancés (and actually initiated by the woman) believe it or not! I remember vividly chilling with a NBA player & his fiancé.. (a couple of times) And I was tense because I didn't wanna step on her toes, she TOLD me to kiss him, I was shocked! But she only had to tell me ONCE :)
Lex: How much does it/will it cost to keep up your look, surgically ?
Amiyah: I was born with the look.. I needed breasts & I bought them.. But other than that, on hormones you grow as a woman & by me starting earlier I had an advantage..
Lex: Legally, are you considered a man still or a woman ?
Amiyah: A woman, my drivers lisence & passport both have "F" don't by chance, legally changed
Lex: What skin products do you use, besides MAC make-up ?
Amiyah: I love all makeup, but MAC & Tonnae Nicole products are awesome! Cocoa butter is a must.. I put it everywhere (head to toe) rubbing alcohol & basically anything that looks interesting in the skin aisle! Lol
Lex: Any words to the LGBT community/supporters ?
Amiyah: "Thank You!!" and i mean that from the bottom of my heart! That's my community! Though I live as a heterosexual woman, you never forget where you come from!
Lex: What about words to young transgender girls coming up/making the transition ?
Amiyah: "DO YOU!" being transgender is playing the biggest game of "I told you so"! No one in their right mind would choose this life if it wasn't a burning desire! Humans ate cruel! Don't put the heels on if you can't walk to walk against adversity! Just about my entire family said "Don't do it" but I did anyway and now I'm looked at & addressed as a WOMAN because I followed my heart & proved that it could be done and I could be successful
Lex: As a woman/model/socialite, where do you see yourself in 5 years ?
Amiyah: If my career isn't too hectic, I see myself married! Its actually one of my biggest fantasies :) I feel like at that moment I will show the whole world that anything is possible! Not only did I become a woman, but I found love and I'm happy!
Lex: Thanks so much for taking time out to talk to me, Amiyah. Where can the readers reach you ?
Amiyah: You're more than welcome and my twitter is @OfficialAmiyah
& in closing, I will leave you with Ms. Amiyah OWNING the catwalk, in her ballroom days. You bette...
