Airyn De Niro, 29, has come out as transgender in a recent interview with Them magazine. The aspiring actress and model shared her journey of self-discovery, stating that there is a difference between being visible and being seen. She expressed anxiety over how her family may react to her transition, but emphasized the importance of finding one’s own path in life.
Airyn De Niro, who shares twins with model Toukie Smith, has been femme-presenting since middle school and began hormone therapy in November to maintain her femininity as she aged. The aspiring actress expressed frustration with the media outlets that published articles about her transition without reaching out to her first, calling them “nepo babies” despite being largely out of the spotlight.
Despite facing rejection for roles in popular shows like “Euphoria,” Airyn De Niro is determined to pursue a career in acting and modeling. She hopes to inspire others who may be struggling with their own identities, saying she wants people to see her as someone trying to heal from feeling inadequate as a child. With a focus on self-empowerment, Airyn De Niro aims to make a positive impact and promote body positivity.
