Trans influencer sparks buzz with rib‑removal for unique crown

Plastic surgeries and body modifications are currently very popular, with extreme changes in appearance drawing the most attention. Kev Matthews, a Dutchman, has undergone numerous body modifications. His skin is almost entirely covered with tattoos, and he is adorned with implants and piercings, which make him a standout figure on the internet.

Jessy Kirkpatrick, a modification enthusiast, aims to have his name recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. His goal is to achieve the largest nostrils in the world. Despite the controversy, his passion and determination attract many fans on social media.

The story of Emily James caught the attention of American media. The transgender influencer from Kansas City underwent surgery in which six of her ribs were removed to reduce her waist circumference. She spent a hefty sum of $17,000 on this goal. Emily plans to commemorate the transformation in a very unusual way.

The influencer wants to make a crown from the removed ribs. If this seems strange to you, consider that Emily initially entertained even more intriguing ideas. Fans suggested she cook the ribs and eat them, and she herself considered giving the extracted bones to her best friend. Ultimately, she decided the ribs would become a crown.

Emily documented the rib removal surgery on social media. In hindsight, she regretted such a radical intervention on her body a little. She had to wear a corset and undergo a long recovery period.

"Removing ribs doesn't change the fact that I'm a nice, loving trans-woman. I know some of your mothers walk around with BBLs, so how is that different from what I did? It's my money, my body, and I'll do with it what I want," Emily emphasized.
