On National Coming Out Day FaZe Clan’s Ewok came out as both trans and bisexual.

The 15-year old professional Fortnite player made the announcement on Twitter saying:

“I want to be open about it and educate people but feel comfortable with myself,” Ewok explained. “I never felt right in girl body and struggled. When I was 11 years old, I dressed up like a boy and grabbed some of my little brother’s clothes. I took pictures. For the past eight years, I never was truly happy with myself and struggled.”

“I know the transition and stuff will be tough for me. I am nervous as hell. This is huge especially I am in FaZe and first transgender guy in T1 Esports organization.” He continued, “there are not many trans people on organizations or stuff like that. I want to be honest as possible with you guys. This is truly a big decision and I know it’ll impact some people. I’ll need y’all support. I truly appreciate it if you supports. It means the world to me. Thank you.”
