Jayne was born as Wayne Rogers and grew up in Dallas, Georgia. She started with makeup and feminine clothes while still in his teens, in the mid-'60s.
Moving to New York City, Jayne established a niche on the hippie edge of the gay community - in the summer of 1969 Jayne both rioted at the Stonewall and went to Woodstock. While working menial day jobs, (e.g. Optical Clerk - American Optical Company - sacked for wearing make-up) she was soon sharing an apartment with Andy Warhol superstars Jackie Curtis and Holly Woodlawn who had a great influence on her.
Jayne acted in stage productions like the Warhol's Pork and DJ'ed at Max's Kansas City on Park Avenue South , where she began performing with a rock band "Queen Elizabeth", in 1972.
She has recorded some unreleased tracks: Stick It In Me (1975), Rock 'N' Roll Enema (1975), I Need A Man (1975),and Putty, with Backstreet Boys.
Jayne's memoirs and insights into life as a transsexual and rock artist, is the book Man Enough To Be A Woman.
She wrote plays - World - Birth Of A Nation, Wank, U-Bahn To Memory Lane.
