Jay Kelly Speaks on Being a Teenage Transgender, Says Dad R Kelly Has Not Spoken to Him Since

You've seen his announcement and photos [here], now Jay Kelly, formerly known as Jaya and youngest child of R. Kelly and ex-wife Andrea Kelly, is speaking about his road to becoming transgender at the young age of just fourteen. Jay says his dad has not spoken to him since his decision to be a boy, but his mother - she stars in reality series 'Hollywood Exes - is proud of him and even shares their pictures online.

Answering questions on his Ask.fm profile..he said;

My mom was like,"Baby, you know I love you if you were bi, gay, lesbian, you name it and I would still love you so much..She was very proud of me, I was like, "Thank you mom for accepting the fact that I'm a transgender."

And same with my sister, she told me that she was proud of me, and respects me by calling me handsome and calling me her little brother now, and I love her for that, so you know it was great for me.' I absolutely love my mother... and yea my dad has not reached out.

Asked when he knew he was a boy and not a girl, Jay replied;

Around the age 6-8 i felt like there was something wrong like i was trapped, but i didnt know what transgender was until i grew older.I believe I am a boy and want surgery, and the medication to help me (be) who I was supposed to be.At 11, 'I would look up like boy changes to girl, and girl changes to boy, and im like wow, there's people who feel EXACTLY the way i feel and then i knew like thats what transgender is"

When asked if God supports his sex change and for haters, he said;

God made everyone he loves.I know, but their words dont phase me or mean anything to mean so i guess they feel like wasting some time i guess i don't know and thank you!Be who you want to be, only god can judge you! No one else can tell you who YOU are! 

 He also said since he needs to be 18 before having a sex change, the first thing he will change is his chest.
