Ruby Guest, Jamie Lee Curtis’ youngest daughter, stayed out of the spotlight until her gender transition became public. Ruby, now a video editor for a gaming personality on YouTube, married in 2022. Her journey was marked by learning, acceptance, and family support. At 16, Ruby began to question her gender identity, saying, “I knew I was different.” When she finally came out to her parents in 2020, she texted her mother instead of telling her in person. Jamie Lee recalled, “Needless to say there were some tears involved.”
Curtis admitted that supporting Ruby through her transition required learning. “I am new at it… I’m going to make mistakes.
But I’d like to avoid big ones.” Still, Curtis has fully embraced Ruby’s journey and hopes that by sharing their story, they can help others feel free to express their true selves.
Despite the love and acceptance from her family, Ruby has faced threats from society. Curtis was shocked by the hatred, admitting, “I’m scared for my child’s life.” However, she is determined to use her voice to support Ruby and others facing discrimination.
“Helping others should be a human thing,” Ruby said, encouraging broader compassion and understanding.
