When did Josie Totah came out as trans?

Josh Totah came out as trans in 2018, in an article for Time magazine. 

Best-known for playing Stuart Wooten in Disney’s Jessie from 2010 until 2015, alongside Brar, she wrote that she had wanted to be a woman long before she realised what being “transgender” meant.

“I was afraid I wouldn’t be accepted, that I would be embarrassed, that the fans who knew me from the time when I acted in a Disney show would be confused,” she said. “But I realised over the past few years that hiding my true self is not healthy. I know now, more than ever, that I’m finally ready to take this step toward becoming myself. I’m ready to be free.”

Since then, she has been vocal about the bullying and harassment LGBTQ+ youngsters continue to face. 

When did Karan Brar came out as bisexual?

Brar, who played Ravi Ross, one of four siblings, in the hit show and its spin-off series Bunk’d, publicly came out as bisexual in 2019. 

In a piece for Teen Vogue, Brar, who also appeared in Diary of a Wimpy Kid in 2010, wrote about moving out of his parents’ house for the first time and living with fellow Disney stars Cameron Boyce and Sophie Reynolds, both of whom were seen in Gamer’s Guide to Pretty Much Everything, soon after turning 20.

He recalled how it all “came to a head” after a night of drinking with his friends “while [he] was drunkenly hunched over a toilet bowl,” and decided to come out to his house mates, shortly before Mrs Fletcher star Boyce died of an epileptic seizure.
