Is Megan Thee Stallion trans?
The Huston, Texas native is not transgender. She was born biologically female and identifies as a cisgender woman. One of the reasons why people speculate she was born male is her well-built physique. She stands at 5 feet 10 inches, which is taller than the average man (5 feet 9 inches) and woman (5 feet 4 inches) in the United States.
Rapper Moneybagg Yow dated Thee Stallion in 2019 and previously shared hormone replacement therapy medications on the internet, claiming they belonged to the artist. Rapper Cam'ron also joked that Megan was shot by Tory Lanez after he found out she was male. The claims fueled the already existing rumours regarding her gender.
Social media users speculated that she changed her gender after high school and initially went by the name Joshua Pete, but the rumours were unfounded, and the Savage rapper has never discussed the issue. The hip-hop artist often uses her platform to advocate against the violence that trans and gender non-conforming black people face in the USA.
