She explained her transition in an emotional post on Instagram on Tuesday, writing: “Tomorrow is my appointment for hormone replacement therapy.<\/p>\n

“It’s been 33 years coming and I’m happy to be in a place where I can embrace who I am.<\/p>\n

“I have put my identity and personal happiness aside for so long, out of fear and rejection or me not wanting to embarrass my family.<\/p>\n

“Then I realized anyone who actually loves me for me, won’t be embarrassed and would’ve shown genuine interest in how long I have felt this way, in the first place.<\/p>\n

“I am transitioning and I have no more apologies to make for who I am. <\/p>\n

“This will be a lonely process in terms of emotional support from others, but I will be happy knowing I am doing this for myself and what I’ve needed for my gender dysphoria.”<\/p>\n

Cara added: “As my transition progresses – I will not be answering to Chris. It’s Cara.<\/p>\n

“Crocker was never and isn’t my actual last name to begin with, just a stage name I had to pick when I was being sent death threats online as a teenager.”<\/p>\n

She concluded: “I’m not living out of fear or anyone else’s terms any longer.”<\/p>\n

The vlogger shared a video of herself looking stunning in a red button-down dress with sleek blonde hair on her Instagram Stories. <\/p>\n

Cara became an internet sensation in 2007 when she posted a tearful video on YouTube begging people to “leave Britney alone”.<\/p>\n
