Transgender teen Jazz Jennings is proudly showing off her gender confirmation surgery scars for the first time since undergoing the procedure in June 2018.
The 19-year-old reality TV star and LGBTQ activist took to Instagram on New Year’s Eve to post pictures of herself modeling a maroon one-piece that reveals the marks on her upper thighs.
‘These are my scars on full display in #2019,’ she captioned the photos. ‘I’m proud of my scars and love my body just the way it is. I call them my battle wounds because they signify the strength and perseverance it took to finally complete my transition.’
In honor of the new year, Jazz ended her empowering message with the hashtag ‘#decadechallenge.’
