Height, Weight 

Is James Charles Trans? 

Though there have been rumors and speculations about whether James Charles is a transgender woman or just a gay man, James has always been vocal about his identity as a man. Well. He is just another gay man who just happens to love makeup.

Fact-check: James once revealed that he came out as gay to his parents when he was about 12 years old. In one of his videos, where he had to debunk the rumors of him being a trans woman, he was quoted as saying, 

“I’m confident in myself and my gender identity – [I’m] happy being a boy. But at the same time, I love makeup. I have a full set of nails on all the time.” So, no, James is not trans.

BBL, New Face

What’s next? The rumors about him getting a ‘new face’ through a surgical procedure. Y’all? Like, an actual new face? Well. That’s unfounded, or better yet, James just hasn’t confirmed that he had any facial surgery, so we’d assume the new face rumor to be false.
