Sasha Allen’s Trinisition occurred during his senior year of high school. In The Voice’s 21st season audition video, he stated that he related to the format of The Voice because of his life experiences.
Allen, who was born feminine, struggled with his gender as a child. In an Instagram post, he recently spoke out about his difficulties. Meanwhile, Jim overcame emotion as he described why he couldn’t be a part of those trying times.
In the Instagram post, Allen writes:
“#transdayofvisibility was yesterday but im trans so i deserve to post a selfie even tho i missed it . in middle school i used to take selfies and photoshop my body to look how i wanted it to , and now i look exactly like those pics ! very cool.”
Allen ended his email with a few encouraging comments that may encourage those who are going through the same thing. He, further, added:
“If ur young & ur trans & ur reading this, one day u will look back and wonder why u were ever so worried . life is so worth living and being trans is unique and beautiful and if people say otherwise u shud insult them so horribly that they think about it for the next 2 months. Gn.”
Sasha noted in his Instagram post that he is one of only three transgender singers who have ever appeared on The Voice. Angel Bonilla was the first transgender singer in The Voice 14th season, while Dane Mautonem was the second openly transgender artist.
