After coming out as lesbian in 2006, Miranda cut his long hair and began using male clothes.[14] In a statement, his mother said that, since he was a child, Miranda had preferences for male clothes and hated dolls and skirts. About his sexual orientation, Miranda said:
It is not an option. I think that who is gay is born this way, I was born this way. We are raised learning that the correct is that there is a boy and there is a girl. It's hard to change this.
In the end of 2014, Miranda came out as transgender. In the same year, he began hormone replacement therapy to support his transition.[15] In December 2014, Miranda got gender-affirming surgery, specifically top surgery (double mastectomy).[16]
