FaZe Clan’s Ewok Comes Out as Transgender
National Coming Out Day was on Sunday this year, and with it came an announcement from FaZe Clan’s Ewok that he was both bisexual and transgender.
Ewok’s announcement was on Twitter, where the 15-year old Fortnite pro used TwitLonger – an app that lets you write as much as you want, word limit be damned – to go into detail about why he was coming out.
“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.”
Ewok was met with a wave of support from his friends, family, as well as the FaZe Clan itself. Even SonicFox, an out and proud Esport legend, threw in their support.
