Why I ignored rumours that I’m transgender – Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga has finally broken her silence on the persistent rumors suggesting she's transgender, but not in the way most would expect. In a recent interview, the global superstar revealed why she chose to ignore the speculation for years, focusing instead on protecting others who may be facing similar judgments.

"I never felt like a victim of the lie,” Gaga explained, “but I knew if I responded, it could make someone out there feel like being transgender is something to be ashamed of. I couldn’t let that happen." Rather than feeding into the negativity, Gaga chose a path that reflects her core values of empathy and support for the LGBTQ+ community. "There are moments where clearing up a rumor is less important than standing for something bigger — and for me, this was one of those moments."

With this decision, Gaga continues to demonstrate that her advocacy goes beyond music; it’s about fostering an environment where people can feel safe in their identities without fear of judgment.

On a more personal note, Gaga recently announced her engagement to French businessman Michael Polansky. In a heartwarming twist, the singer revealed that it was her mother who played matchmaker, further proving that for Gaga, family, love, and loyalty remain at the center of her extraordinary life.
