"NIKOCADO IS TRANSITIONING?": Social media reacts as Nikocado Avocado asks fans which gender he should "change to"

YouTuber Nikocado Avocado, who went viral for his weight loss video last year, has once again captured the public's curiosity. On January 9, 2025, he shared a short clip on X, in which he can be seen dancing while wearing a hospital gown. He captioned the post:

"Plastic surgery…. Which gender should I change to?"

While the plastic surgery itself might interest some viewers, it is the gender change he referred to that has sparked the most intrigue and discussion.

Naturally, the post has led many to wonder whether Nikocado Avocado is undergoing gender reassignment surgery. Others speculated that he might be transitioning.

"NIKOCADO IS TRANSITIONING????????" @Amanditas asked.

Some viewers suggested that this could simply be another one of his "social experiments," a common theme in his content.

"Tell me this is another social experiment please," @lewandonutFCB said.

Others proposed that the surgery could be related to addressing excess skin left after his significant weight loss transformation.

"0 chance. He is getting the loose hanging skin removed from losing all that weight. I would bet on it," @combat_matrix posted.

One X user agreed and shared their thoughts about the potential scarring.

"Are you removing the excess skin left from your horrible weight gain experiment? It will leave absolutely atrocious scars," @SustainableSlop wrote.

Some offered supportive advice while acknowledging the possibility that Nikocado might be joking about transitioning.

"Whatever fits you. If this is a genuine consideration for you, then do what feels right. If this is just a gag, keep on keeping on! Seeing you lose all this weight has been incredible, and it's such a good story on how anyone can change despite what their circumstances may be," @DanicingRussian06 said.

Nikocado Avocado's last social experiment involved dramatic weight transformation

Nikocado Avocado received widespread praise in September 2024, after he shared a video where he claimed to have lost 250 pounds. This dramatic weight loss caused the video to go viral.

However, just a few weeks later, on September 18, 2024, the content creator posted a TikTok video where he said his weight loss claim was part of a social experiment. In the clip, he implied that those who believed his story might not have been as discerning as they thought:

"Millions of people believed it! You all have the IQs of a bag of rocks. I could literally dye my hair blue and say it has always been blue and half of you all will believe it."

Many viewers pointed out that the YouTuber's claim did not make sense and that the TikTok video must have been recorded before he lost weight, considering that he appeared thinner in more recent content.

Given the viral nature of Nikocado Avocado’s previous videos and the ambiguity surrounding his latest post about plastic surgery and gender, it is understandable why many people are uncertain about his intentions.
