BREAKING BEAUTY BOMBSHELL: Drag Race Icon Laganja Estranja Announces Daring Life-Altering Surgery — “I’m Ready to Become the Real Me!”

In a revelation that’s sending shockwaves across the Drag Race fandom and LGBTQ+ community alike, beloved drag superstar Laganja Estranja has just made the most personal, powerful, and profound announcement of her life. Known for her death drops, razor-sharp wit, and unapologetic authenticity, Laganja is now preparing to undergo a radical transformation — one she says has been “a lifetime in the making.”

Speaking candidly in a new interview and on her social media channels, Laganja, born Jay Jackson, declared, “I’m finally ready for a full transformation — emotionally, physically, spiritually. This surgery is not just cosmetic. It’s my rebirth.”

The Truth Behind the Glamour

Laganja, who rose to global fame on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 and later cemented her legacy as a fierce activist and cannabis advocate, came out as transgender in 2021. Since then, she’s been an unwavering voice in the trans community, using her platform to challenge perceptions and champion gender affirmation.

But this latest announcement takes that journey to an entirely new level.

“I’ve done the work, the soul-searching, the therapy,” she explained in an emotionally charged post. “Now it’s time for the body to reflect who I’ve always been inside. I’ve hidden behind personas for years. No more. This is ME — raw, real, and ready.”

A Transformation Years in the Making

While Laganja hasn’t specified which procedures she’s scheduled for, sources close to the star reveal that it involves major gender-affirming surgeries. The move, though incredibly personal, is being shared publicly by Laganja to demystify and destigmatize the transgender experience, especially in a climate where trans rights are under attack globally.

“I want people to see this isn’t about vanity — it’s about visibility,” Laganja says. “It’s about survival. I’m reclaiming my power in the most literal sense.”

Fans and fellow queens have already flooded her with messages of love and support. Among them, Drag Race alumni such as Peppermint, Gottmik, and Kylie Sonique Love — all vocal trans advocates — praised Laganja’s bravery, calling it “a historic moment of self-love and authenticity.”

Facing the World Unapologetically

Even amid excitement, Laganja remains raw and honest about the fear involved.

“Of course I’m scared,” she admitted. “This is my body, my life. But I’ve lived in fear for too long. The fear of not being accepted. The fear of being ‘too much.’ The fear of never being enough. Now, I’m facing all that — head-on.”

She credits her chosen family, her therapist, and her unshakable connection to drag as what kept her grounded throughout her journey.

Drag, she says, was the first mirror that reflected back a version of herself she could love. Now, that love is taking physical form.

What Comes Next?

With surgery plans in motion and a documentary-style vlog series in the works, Laganja Estranja isn’t just transitioning — she’s transforming the narrative around what it means to step into one’s true self in front of the world’s gaze.

“I’m not just doing this for me,” she says with a smile. “I’m doing this for every little queer kid who thought they were too weird to be loved. Guess what? You are more than enough. And it’s never too late to become who you were meant to be.”

The countdown has begun. The curtain is lifting. And a new era of Laganja Estranja is about to slay its way into history.

Stay tuned — this isn’t just a makeover.
It’s a metamorphosis. 🌈✨
