Warren Beatty and Annette Bening’s transgender son recorded a piece for the site WeHappyTrans. Stephen Ira Beatty was born Kathlyn Elizabeth Beatty, and intends to have a sex change.
In a video clip he says: “My name is Stephen. I identify as a trans man, a f*ggy queen, a homosexual, a queer, a nerd fighter, a writer, an artist and a guy who needs a haircut.”
20-year-old Stephen answered the question of who has been most supportive of his transition, but doesn’t mention his parents or family at all.
He said: “My friends, my peers, who I’m lucky to have relationships with a lot of ever since high school which is when I came out and transitioned socially when I was 14 or so.
“It’s nice to finally be able to have my identity be legible to people and I really am enjoying and appreciating that.”
