The countdown is on for Jazz Jennings’ gender confirmation surgery.
On June 26, the 17-year-old "I Am Jazz" star — who was born male but identifies as female — will go under the knife for the procedure, a life-changing moment that she is “super excited for.”
“I wanted to talk about my upcoming gender confirmation surgery,” Jennings said in a June 1 YouTube video titled “Preparing For Gender Confirmation Surgery.”
“It’s coming up so soon. June 26 is when I’m getting the surgery, so like a month away. That is insane. I am so looking forward to it. I’ve been ready for this my entire life,” she shared.
While Jennings is elated to undergo the surgery, which will be documented on "I Am Jazz", there is one thing she’ll miss about having a penis.
“The one sad thing is, though, peeing standing up is something really cool and I don’t think I appreciated it enough that I’ve been able to pee standing up. But now I’m not going to be able to pee standing up,” Jennings shared.
“I’m not going to be able to pee standing up anymore, but that’s really the only bad thing about getting this surgery,” said Jennings, who noted that she is looking forward to be able to wear leggings and sweatpants.
