Fifth Harmony’s Camila Cabello sends heartwarming message to trans fan

By Josh Haggis

Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello has congratulated one of the group’s fans for coming out as transgender.

Cabello, whose band rose to fame on the second series of The X Factor USA, shared a picture of herself with Camila Joe, a fan who she last met when she was going by the name ‘Joey’.

The singer, who explained that she was making her message public because she didn’t know the fan’s Twitter, said that she “lost it” when Camila Joe told her she had helped give her the courage to transition:

Camila

“The stunning, confident, magical woman standing next to me is named Camila Joe. I met her during a signing last year when her name was “Joey” and she told me I inspired her to have the courage to transition. And right before my eyes, today I saw a beautiful, confident woman (with IMMACULATE EYELINER by the way). She told me she was going to go by the name of Camila Joe and I kinda lost it with excitement. I don’t know your Twitter but I just wanted to say how proud I am of you. There’s a light in someone’s eyes when they become who they want to be. Today you lit up the whole room. i love you darlin. WORK THAT POSE.”
