When Laishram was in Class 8 at Human Resource Development (HRD) School in Imphal, she began to understand that she was trans and not cisgender. She did not tell anyone she had a female gender identity until she was in her third year of MBBS. She came out to her family in 2013, but did not come out publicly due to her family's upset and her father's attempted suicide over the news. In the same year, she changed her name to Beoncy after participating in the beauty contest "Miss Trans Queen North East" in 2013. In 2020 Laishram said:
"Friends were abusive, they taunted at me wherever I went. I withdrew into my closet to avoid the mental torture. It was a continuous struggle to establish my identity and make people accept it. "Around 2016, she began identifying as a transgender woman (). She had gender-affirming surgery in Puducherry. As of 2020 she had reconciled with her parents. See also
