Janae Marie revealed on her Instagram account that she considers herself to be “transgender/genderfluid Alpha male/girly girl Lesbian in a male body,” Outsports reported.

The record breaker, who is notorious in the body building world for devising the ‘Kroc Row’ back exercises, has not posted under her Twitter handle MattKroc for approximately a year.

Janae Marie wrote in to website Gymflow100 on her personal experience;

“Being a total alpha male and transgender definitely makes me unique even in the transgender community… Gender identity and personality tests that I have taken in an effort to figure myself out always indicate that I am both hyper-masculine and hyper-feminine. Exactly what I need to do to be at peace with myself is something I am still not 100% certain of. Transitioning is a very difficult process and even tougher at an older age (I’m 42). …and living as a transgender woman that is honest about her situation is very difficult and can be dangerous. I am a very realistic person and I don’t think the transitioning will magically solve all of my issues without creating new challenges. Whatever path I choose there will be sacrifices to be made.”
