She continued: “It feels amazing to finally tell the world I’m a girl. I finally feel like the real me. Glamorous, beautiful and feminine. “For years I tried to live my life as a man. I had a fake six pack put in, I had fake muscles in my arms but I was lying to myself. “I’m a woman and have always had a feminine brain. Now my body matches my mind.”

On social media, Alves removed her old Instagram photos, announcing her transition and beginning again with new posts. which now exclusively features photos of Alves as Barbie, not Ken.

Alves also revealed that she will be going under the knife again to complete her transition. “I will have a penile inversion and my testicles will be removed.

Face feminization surgery, involving a forehead reshaping, the removal of Alves’ Adam’s apple and the shaving of her jawline, are also soon to come, she says.

Alves said it took a lot of courage to come out, and said that she had been “living as a woman behind closed doors” for three months.

She continued: “I love it and everything that comes with it. But I have been trolled and called a freak and a weirdo, so of course I am nervous about how people will react.
