In today's world, many people are struggling to accept themselves as gay, lesbian, pan or fluid. But, it doesn't mean there aren't otherwise. There are few individuals, who have been the epitomes of courage and confidence. They do not hesitate to believe in their sexual inclination and accept themselves as transsexuals despite the nerve-wracking pressure and backlashes.
One of such analogies is the bold and beautiful Indya Adrianna Moore, an American actress who openly identifies as a transgender. Battling through the transphobia and prejudice, she garnered applauding fame and success. She has nearly 126K followers on Instagram and 36.1K followers on Twitter. Moreover, she has already dedicated eight years in the entertainment realm.

As Indya Moore’s wiki suggests, she stands at the height of 5 feet 8 inches (1.73m) with a toned body figure. She resides in a hostel-style living in Queens Place, which is one of the most expensive-rented places across New York City.
Struggle On Being Gay
Even though Indya was born in the body of a male, she never accepted herself as one. Before others were aware, she knew that she was meant to be a woman. Indya used to try on her mother's dresses and makeup as well. But, her parents, in the case, treated her differently; they didn't support her true identity as gay.
She eventually felt that her parents would never understand her, and faced transphobia in her society. At the age of fourteen, she moved away from her parents' home and lived in foster care. But, the hate and prejudice never ended, which made her regularly shuttle around in numerous boroughs.

Indya was an aspiring biotech student. But, when the time came to balance bills and school, she couldn't afford them. So, she chose to drop out of her 10th grade at the age of 15. Then, she got her GED and started to work.
