“But it was my journey and I’m loud and proud now… I was rocking my real [hair] too can y’all guess how old I was here??? Lol 🤔 I started my transition very young… #transisbeautiful.”
In the comments, fans and fellow stars loved Sidney’s candid throwback post.

One clever supporter said, “4+4 …… cus that’s what you d, id sis @sidneystarrbad ðŸ˜ðŸ˜.” Another said, “This why they be hating on yu because you always been a STARR.”
Sidney revealed on her Instagram Stories that the photos were from when she was a child.
The reality star reminded her followers that her face card didn’t decline, and she still served “cunt” realness.
“I’m aging gracefully. I believe, lmao! I don’t smoke, do drugs… etc. I drank the,o lmaooo,” she admitted.
