In one of his many updates documenting his 6-month journey to manhood, the “master Instagrammer” wrote about how exhausting it was both physically and emotionally. However, he was determined to see through the path he felt he was meant to take.

Izaak began his transition in 2016. He made the announcement on his social media by expressing his excitement to embark on “the first day of the rest of my life.” Izaak had previously identified himself as a lesbian but finally turned the page to complete his journey.
