Nikkie is also a prominent trans figure in her own right. The longtime YouTuber came out as a transgender woman in January 2020. "When I was younger, I was born in the wrong body, which means that I am transgender," Nikkie shared. "It's so surreal saying this. Filming this video is scary, but it feels so liberating and freeing. I've been wanting to share this side of myself to all of you for so long but I could never figure out the timing."

At the time she revealed someone was trying to blackmail her with this personal information, and had threatened to "leak" the story to the press, so she decided to share her story on her own terms. She explained, "I can't believe I'm saying this today... To all of you, for the entire world to see, but damn, it feels good to finally do it. It's time to let go and be truly free."
