"THIS IS THE PATH THAT WAS LAID FOR ME…" – IZAAK

Izaak has done very little to shield himself from the media since he publicly came out in 2016. He has progressively become at ease with sharing tidbits about his private dealings.

Just a few days ago, the 23-year-old shared how tasking it is to go for gender reassignment surgery.

Izaak shared four photos, all black, and white, taken with him lying in a hospital bed. While the pictures are of a rather scenic view, it is Izaak's lengthy caption that caught the attention of the public.

It started with the young man explaining that the process is exceptionally trying in all ramifications.

"This process is trying, tiring, painful, emotionally exhausting, physically exhausting, uncomfortable (like I can't sleep like a normal human being rn lol)," he wrote.

His next statement had him expressing curiosity at why he has to go through such a process to "be who I am." He however pushed on that no matter what, he would bear it all because it is his "path," and he'll "walk it to the end."

Getting a sex-change surgery is no mean feat because just as Izaak revealed, it can become emotionally tasking. Thankfully, Izaak has had his family standing tall to support him through the process.

Also, in his caption, he detailed that he always gets motivated whenever he thinks of one of his father's loving advice.

"My dad always says "keep your eyes on the horizon," and that's what I do because through all this pain is the comfort that it's not forever and I have the rest of my life ahead of me," Izaak wrote.

"Big up to my Mumma, Pappa, family, and friends for all the support you give me on the daily, it'll never be forgotten #ftm #trans #transgender #transman #tpoc #tmoc #selfmademan #phalloplasty #thisiswhattranslookslike #yaaaaas," he finished.
