When she was called out for her comments at the time, Pinkston did not apologize, but rather likened the notion of transgender identity to reclaiming virginity.
In response to the backlash over her May comments, the cisgender model posted a statement on her Instagram account on July 22 in which she falsely came out as trans. "I thought if I came out as trans that I could somehow make things better for myself but it appears I’ve only made things worse."The 20-year-old model said she transitioned “at a young age” and that her social media comments reflected her personal insecurities.Yet online critics and real-life acquaintances of the model cast doubt on her revelation.
Aaron Philip, a gender-nonconforming trans model, also weighed in on Pinkston’s post, tweeting that “i know this person IRL and she is so cisgender.”
