As You Get Older It's More Confusing.

Around 2001, I Started Analyzing Lesbians. I Started To Realize That Even Really Butch-acting Or -dressing Women Still Had A Strong Female Identity That I Never Had.

For Me, It Was Never A Question Of Whether Or Not I Was Transgender. It Was A Question Of What I'd Be Able To Handle Transitioning And Having To Do It In The Public Eye. One Of The Issues That Was Hard For Me To Overcome Was The Fear Of That.

People Who Don't Have Gender Dysphoria Aren't Going To Catch It By Watching Me Dance On Television.

I Don't Have The Luxury Of Doing Things Privately.

I Thought, Transgender People Are Much Worse Off Than I Am. That's Why They're Willing To Risk Everything To Be Who They Are. But The Older I Got, The Harder It Got To Stay In My Body.
