Bella Longuinho is 23 years old, has 3.8 million followers on TikTok and a photo from a year ago that almost no one recognizes as her anymore. 🤯
The Brazilian trans influencer — who used to be named José — posted a video comparing the behind-the-scenes footage of two photo shoots: one from 2024, at the start of her transition, and a current one, after sex reassignment surgery in Thailand, facial feminization, and hormone treatment.
The phrase she wrote says it all: “Me trying hard to be pretty… compare.”

But not everyone sees it the same way — there are those who celebrate her as a symbol of courage and those who don’t hold back their negative comments.
