Why EJ Johnson Decided Against Transitioning: ‘I Thought About it For Sure’
“Since everybody’s talking about Caitlyn Jenner and being transgender, people are quick to say, ‘Oh just because you’re dressing like that means that you’re going to transition to become a woman,’” Johnson explains to his therapist in a preview clip.
The 24-year-old son of Magic Johnson has slayed many a red carpet decked in womenswear.
“I thought about it, for sure,” he said. “I was just like, ‘Well do I want to transition? Is this something that I would do?’ But I don’t feel incomplete in that way. I don’t feel the need to do that.”
“I’m interested to talk about what it means to actually transition — like if you’re going to take that leap or that step, what’s going on mentally that’s telling you, ‘This is what I need to do,’” Johnson explained. “Because I don’t feel that way.”

“If I come out in a Diane Sawyer interview and I’m like, ‘Diane, I just wanted to let the world know, I am becoming a woman.’ Until that day, everybody needs to have a seat,” Johnson quipped in Season 4 of “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills.”
