Trans YouTube Star Chase Ross spills the tea in Rickey Thompson’s new “LGBT Q&A” interview.
From Rihanna v. Beyonce to his love of cats, Chase shares what it’s like being a young transgender YouTube star and the things that matter most to him.
Says Chase: “Maybe it has to do with trans-related things. Maybe it’s because I didn’t really feel like it was my body forever, and now that I finally am comfortable I’m like, I can actually have a relationship with my body and I really want to take care of it.”
