EXCLUSIVE Transgender woman who grew up in strict Catholic household now makes millions selling racy snaps
A transgender woman who spent years hiding her sexuality while living in a strict Catholic household has revealed she now makes over $1 million a year selling racy snaps of herself after being shunned by the church. Lana Madison, who was born male, was raised in an extremely conservative community in southern Texas. From a young age she was into 'feminine' things, but she was forced to 'pretend to be masculine' out of fear of how the people at her church would react. 'Growing up Catholic was tough. I was so feminine but constantly at odds with who I was,' she explained exclusively to the Daily Mail. 'It was hard pretending to be masculine while everything inside me screamed the opposite.' Lana recalled 'faking asthma attacks' to get out of Mass when the priest would 'start preaching anti-gay rhetoric.' But as Lana got older, she said she couldn't hold in her true self anymore. Eventually, word began to spread that she 'was into boys,' and it led to the community turning on both her and her family. 'I managed to disguise myself for a while until I couldn't anymore,' she continued. 'Once people found out I was into boys, my friends dropped me. 'But that rejection weirdly gave me freedom. I no longer had to pretend. I leaned into being an openly effeminate guy, and eventually, that led me toward my truth.' While her parents were certainly shocked at first, they ultimately came around. 'My parents may be Catholic and conservative, but they've always loved me unconditionally,' she explained. 'When I came out, it wasn't easy for [my parents]. They didn't embrace everything right away, but they never made me feel unloved. 'Even as they were being shunned by people in their community, they told others and me that they'd rather have a relationship with their child than a dead child. 'That kind of love gave me strength. They didn't always get everything right, and it took time for them to adjust to my name and pronouns. 'But I knew they loved me, and that gave me the confidence to stand tall in who I was becoming.' Eventually, word began to spread that she 'was into boys,' and it lead to the whole community turning on both her and her family Lana realized that she was transgender while she was in college when a drag queen friend put her in full glam for the first time and she started undergoing hormone therapy at age 21 Lana realized that she was transgender while she was in college when a drag queen friend put her in full glam for the first time and she started undergoing hormone therapy at age 21. During her transition, Lana realized that to become the girl she truly dreamed of being she would have to go under the knife multiple times because there were so many things about her appearance that she wanted to change. So instead of going through recovery over and over again, she decided to do it all at once - undergoing a whopping 15 procedures during one marathon 10-hour surgery. This included having her hairline pulled down, fat grafting to her cheeks, shaving down her Adam's apple, getting buccal fat pads partially removed, a rhinoplasty, brow lift, breast augmentation, and other tweaks to her lips and forehead. 'I wanted to go under and wake up as a new person,' she explained. 'I didn't want to spend years in and out of recovery, nitpicking parts of myself, constantly planning the next procedure. I wanted to just be done and move forward in my life. 'I didn't want to heal one part of myself while still dealing with dysphoria about another. I wanted to wake up in a body that felt whole.' She looks at the transformation as a 'rebirth' and said she feels like it has given her a 'second chance at life.' Her conservative parents are not exactly fond of her career choice, but they just want her to be happy. She dished, 'They might not understand every part of it, but they understand me' And now, Lana - who went on to get a hair transplant and two more boob jobs - claimed she earns over $1 million a year by selling sultry snaps online and has raked in more than 76,000 followers on Instagram. Her conservative parents are not exactly fond of her career choice, but they just want her to be happy. 'My parents might have preferred I choose a different career path. But they see how much freedom I have,' Lana dished. 'I get to set my own schedule, I'm not risking my safety working some soul-crushing job for someone else, and I'm thriving doing something that actually pays. 'They might not understand every part of it, but they understand me. They know I'm empowered, independent, and exactly where I'm supposed to be.' In the end, she's said she's immensely proud of herself for overcoming everything she's endured.

EXCLUSIVE I had 15 plastic surgeries in ONE DAY... it almost killed me and the recovery was gruesome but it was worth it
A transgender model who had 15 plastic surgeries in one day has revealed how the endeavor nearly killed her. Lana Madison, 29, who now splits her time between New York City and Miami, grew up in a strict Catholic household in Southern Texas, but she always felt like she didn't fit in. After years of feeling 'constantly at odds with herself,' she realized she was transgender during college and started hormone therapy at age 21. But during her transition, Lana realized that to become the girl she truly dreamed of being she would have to go under the knife multiple times because there were so many things about her appearance that she wanted to change. So instead of going through recovery over and over again, she decided to do it all at once - undergoing a whopping 15 procedures during one marathon 10-hour surgery. This included having her hairline pulled down, fat grafting to her cheeks, shaving down her Adam's apple, getting buccal fat pads partially removed, a rhinoplasty, brow lift, breast augmentation, and other tweaks to her lips and forehead.

'I didn't want to spend years in and out of recovery, nitpicking parts of myself, constantly planning the next procedure. I wanted to just be done and move forward in my life. Lana Madison, 29, who now splits her time between New York City and Miami, grew up in a strict Catholic household in Southern Texas, but she always felt like she didn't fit in After years of feeling 'constantly at odds with herself,' she realized she was trans during college and started hormone therapy at age 21. She's seen at age 15 before her transition 'I didn't want to heal one part of myself while still dealing with dysphoria about another. I wanted to wake up in a body that felt whole.' Unfortunately, the healing process 'didn't go exactly as plan.' One day after the procedure, Lana was rushed back into surgery after she began suffering from a life-threatening complication. 'I had a hematoma in my left breast, so they had to put me back under the next day to stop the internal bleeding,' she explained. Lana admitted that the physical and emotional pain that she endured during her recovery was extremely difficult and left her battling depression. 'Two weeks after surgery, I had a full-on breakdown,' she confessed. 'I remember filming myself crying, thinking, "What did I do? I look like a freak. I look like a monster." 'My face was still swollen, my body was bruised, and my brain chemistry was completely off. 'I didn't feel like myself. I'm not a depressive person, so that feeling really scared me. I had deep bruising under my eyes for three months from the bone work around my orbital rim. 'The swelling made it hard to recognize myself, and it took time for the final results to settle in.' Lana said changing so many aspects of herself at once 'hit harder than she expected,' and she felt like she had to 'grieve' her old self. 'I thought I'd feel nothing but relief, but I found myself mourning the version of me who had survived all those years,' she continued. 'The version of me who had masked and fought to get to this point. That person kept me alive, but also carried so much pain. 'Letting that go wasn't just physical. It was emotional and spiritual. I had to honor who I had been, even while celebrating who I had become. 'That grief eventually gave way to something more powerful - peace. I had finally arrived in the body that matched my spirit. 'But those first few weeks were raw and emotional, and no one prepares you for that.' Even so, she is now 'so happy with the results' and feels it has given her a 'second chance at life.' Lana said changing so many aspects of herself at once 'hit harder than she expected,' and she felt like she had to 'grieve' her old self 'I want my ribs fractured and remodeled to make my waist even slimmer,' she shared She ultimately looks at the transformation as a 'rebirth' after years of having to 'pretend to be masculine' due to her religious upbringing. And now, Lana - who went on to get a hair transplant and two more boob jobs - is already eyeing her next procedure. 'I want my ribs fractured and remodeled to make my waist even slimmer,' she recently shared with Jam Press. 'It might sound bizarre but the results I've seen on other people are insane. I want to go all the way.' Lana now sells racy snaps of herself online and has raked in more than 76,000 followers on Instagram. In the end, she's said she's immensely proud of herself for overcoming everything she's endured. She concluded to the Daily Mail: 'At one of my lowest points, I created the version of myself I had always dreamed of. And I'm really proud of her.'

'I grew up in a Catholic household - now I'm trans and men can't get enough'
A transgender model who makes $1.6m (€1.36m) a year has revealed that hundreds of men message her every day – with many completely unaware that she was born a man. Lana Madison has built a six-figure empire by sharing saucy snaps online but most of her fans don't know about her transition. The 29-year-old, who grew up in a Catholic household in a small Texas town, is now proudly trans but 'doesn't feel the need to disclose this upfront' to her male fans as they are still 'getting what they came for'. And it's not her problem 'if they feel tricked'. 'I don't really feel like I owe every guy my gender history,' said Lana, who has 76,000 followers on Instagram @lanabananaonly. 'A lot of the men who message me don't know that I'm trans – they just want to talk to me because they think I'm pretty. I don't think my gender identity has to be advertised on my forehead. 'If someone wants to know that I am trans, they can pay for my more explicit content and they'll find out that way. I have a nice body but I also have a secret weapon that I think men desire on the down low. 'For instance, after finding out I was trans, one fan asked to see my penis. He was terrified at first but then he, like so many others, came back and asked for more. 'I also receive angry messages from men who say they feel 'tricked'. That's their problem – I'm not hiding anything or lying, I'm just existing without announcing that I'm trans in big red letters. 'Most of my fans are curious more than anything. They find me attractive and the rest doesn't seem to matter once they're invested. A lot of the fans asking for more explicit content also have girlfriends or wives.' Lana, who never discussed topics like gender or sexuality at home with her parents, first started receiving hormone therapy when she moved to New York at 21. Since then, she's gone under the knife several times including for a facial feminisation surgery, a breast augmentation and a hair transplant. The procedures not only helped Lana feel more comfortable in her own skin, they also transformed her career. And while some of her fans might appear annoyed when they find out she's trans, she believes the majority of them simply struggle to accept that they find her so attractive. The adult star recently made a whopping $120,000 (€102,000) on OnlyFans in just one month – and she says the attention just keeps on growing. Lana said: 'I felt so beautiful when I came out and even more so after my surgeries. People treat me differently now and not just online. 'Men stare on the street and hold doors open for me. I love that they probably do this without knowing I am trans, because it proves that trans women are just as beautiful as women who were born with female genitalia. 'Some cisgender men get so defensive about finding a trans woman hot. I am 100% sure that this is why they kick off or get upset after the 'discovery' that I have a penis. I know I turn them on because they keep throwing their money at me.' As for her offline romantic life, Lana, who is gay, 'doesn't date much'. She added: 'There's a lot of fantasy and desire, but genuine connection is harder to find. 'Most of my relationships have been situationships. I never hide that I am trans to people I date – but the partners I choose don't care either way. They just see confidence and sexuality, and that's what they connect to.'
