Jools Lebron, a transgender individual known for creating the viral TikTok trend “very demure”, has stated that the surge in followers and attention will be utilized to fund his transition surgery. Lebron, who was born a biological man, kickstarted this trend where certain behaviors were labeled as “demure”. His videos on social media have become incredibly popular, attracting celebrity X followers and even recognition from the White House.

Lebron’s initial video which sparked this trend came out in early August where he is seen applying makeup while explaining the process. He states, “You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure, very mindful. I don’t do too much. I’m very mindful while I’m at work. See how I look very presentable?” Another ‘demure’ behavior put forth by him included staying seated after an airplane lands.

This ‘demure’ trend garnered significant popularity prompting Lebron to share a video expressing his reaction to those who posted negative comments. Talking about his journey he said,” one day, I was playing cashier and making videos on my break, and now I’m flying across the country to host events, and I’m going to be able to finance the rest of my transition.”

Lebron’s influence extends beyond TikTok community as it reached all the way up to the official White House X account that used his catchphrase ‘demure’ in political context promoting policy decisions with sentences like “Cancelling [sic] student debt of nearly 5 million Americans through various actions -Very mindful. Very demure” along with President Joe Biden’s photograph.

The ‘demure’ ascent did not stop there; A-list celebrities began referencing it too. Reese Witherspoon described her Apple TV series “The Morning Show” as “very demure,” whereas Jennifer Lopez referred to her sip from a Delola brand cocktail bottle as “very demure” and “very mindful.” Similar comments were made by Penn Badgley, Lindsay Lohan, and Jamie Lee Curtis about their roles in films.

About his definition of ‘demure’, Lebron said to CBS Mornings, “Your demure is what it means to you. It’s being mindful and considerate of the people around you, but also of yourself and how you present to the world.” Reiterating that saying, he concluded by re-emphasizing that the term ‘demure’ boils down to individual interpretation: it’s about mindfulness towards others and oneself regarding presentation.

Lebron’s innovative use of the social platform highlights the power online spaces can hold in shaping culture while providing a fair representation of transgender individuals. Additionally, this also showcases how trending content on digital platforms like TikTok can serve as a launchpad for real world repercussions – in this case, Lebron’s imminent transition surgery.
