Like, there's no fakeness, it's a 100% raw and unfiltered.

100%. Prior to transitioning, I was too big or I was too feminine, and then I started transitioning and my body was still big, so I was still too big, but then I was too masculine. So I dealt with both ends of that spectrum where it's just like,"Okay, well, my body's not good enough. My gender expression isn't good enough. I have talent, but people aren't looking at that, they're looking at me as a physical thing.

My biggest hurdle was myself and trying to get out of my head because there's always that negative voice that's in the back of your mind, that's telling you you're not good enough that you don't deserve something or whatever the case is. And it didn't matter what, you know, choreographers said, it didn't matter what the girl said. It didn't matter what Lizzo said. Like, I didn't believe it until I kind of had like this, like,"Aha" moment.
