play08:38

that when you're first transitioning and

play08:40

play08:44

definitely can be a very hard journey I

me like the first time I went out fully

play08:52

so I I knew that I was going to

play08:54

transition and um I had tried so hard to

play08:58

not transition because I didn't want to

play09:00

be trans if anything I wanted to be gay

my hair here I we're talking about my

play12:17

scalp and I would have them and it would

play12:19

be like so Sleek like this and then on

play12:21

my last little piece I would put the

play12:23

hair that was like an inch or two long

play12:27

and I put it right on top and I put a

play12:28

little bit of glue the bottom and I

play12:30

would just be like this my hair looked

play12:32

like this like it looked like this long

play12:35

and then it was like slick

play12:39

Slicker so then I glued all these

play12:42

extensions in my in my head and I looked

play12:45

at myself and I was like wow okay like I

play12:47

I look good I probably looked a mess

play12:50

dulu yeah she was dulu for sure but I

play12:53

mean what else did I have at that time I

play12:55

had been so tired of living my life as a

play12:57

boy that I was like I just it's time to

play12:59

transition so had all these extensions

play13:02

in my hair and then I was going to go

play13:03

out and I went to the grocery store and

play13:06

I lived in downtown Sacramento where you

play13:07

could walk everywhere so um I'm walking

play13:11

around oh I put makeup on and I dressed

play13:14

like like a prostitute pretty much

play13:16

street walker total street walker um

play13:19

because I thought I was sexy I thought

play13:21

if I was sexy and like I was trying to

play13:23

push my cleavage out like mind you I

play13:25

didn't have any I didn't have any

play13:26

operations remember putting the tape

play13:28

right here and just like pushing it as

play13:30

far as you can exactly so I did that and

play13:34

I had whatever kind of cleavage I

play13:35

thought I had and I put makeup on top

play13:37

but it was just a huge tamale Mexican

play13:40

mess walking through the streets of

play13:42

Sacramento and I thought I look cute so

play13:46

I remember walking into the grocery

play13:49

store this is my trauma I was walking I

play13:53

was getting stuff and this little boy

play13:55

asked his mom mom why is he dressed just

play13:59

like

play14:01

that like kids can

play14:04

clog kids can clog they say the darnest

play14:07

things so I was so

play14:10

embarrassed I was so embarrassed and

play14:12

then my tuck was hurting and my I

play14:14

couldn't breathe with all that tape was

play14:16

it duct tape uh back then right oh yeah

play14:19

duct tape so it was just a huge mess but

play14:22

I didn't know how to dress my makeup

play14:23

looked awful my you know head was full

play14:26

of glue and these NY extensions but you

play14:31

know that was a moment where it's so

play14:34

hilarious for me to like now look back

play14:36

at it and be like oh my God I thought I

play14:38

looked good and obviously this happened

play14:40

for a very long time like I was

play14:43

embarrassed many times out in

play14:45

public um by people like I was out it I

play14:48

mean I I couldn't pass do you know what

play14:50

I'm saying and this happened over and

play14:52

over and over again and I feel like

play14:55

that's something that somebody brand new

play14:57

transitioning they should should not

play14:59

worry that they're not passible enough

play15:02

one day it'll come right like I mean how

play15:04

long did it take for you to start

play15:06

looking passable because you started you

play15:09

know and you had that like high school

play15:11

do you have any other memories of going

play15:13

out and being like Oh my God I thought I

play15:15

looked good but now looking back at it

play15:18

like I did go on a family trip with me

play15:22

fulltime I remember going to

play15:24

Spain and uh it was a family trip and my

play15:27

mom was telling me don't do it can you

play15:30

change but I said no I don't want to I

play15:33

don't want to do it so I remember going

play15:35

to Frederick I had that the old man get

play15:37

me like a water bra remember those water

play15:40

bras that like put like four cup sizes

play15:43

and it was just I don't know I've never

play15:46

oh my gosh okay so Frederick's Hollywood

play15:48

they would have um a water bra and it

play15:50

would feel it was the best bra feeling I

play15:53

feel like I had boobs and I always just

play15:55

wear yeah I would wear a t-shirt that's

play15:58

it and went a family trip and they were

play16:01

like oh my

play16:04

God but my mom I I knew my mom told my

play16:07

family not to like really say anything

play16:09

react like oh you look good so that's

play16:12

another thing too it really just depends

play16:14

your support system for your family you

play16:17

know what was coming out to your mom

play16:18

like you know when like at what point

play16:21

did you have a conversation or did you

play16:23

just start dressing up and you're like

play16:25

this is what you get this is how it is

play16:27

like first I mean obviously she was like

play16:29

oh he's gay and then I said M then I

play16:33

started dressing up and she kind of like

play16:35

she was like what are you doing she she

play16:38

didn't even know either she didn't even

play16:40

know until I told her there's like such

play16:42

thing as trans people mhm so after a

play16:45

while then I said Mom I need to see a

play16:47

doctor you know just to see what's going

play16:50

on cuz I asked her can you get me

play16:52

hormone she's like no I'm not getting

play16:54

you hormones that's when you know how

play16:56

the girls look for at Black Market yeah

play16:58

but I mean that's all how it started but

play17:00

there's a lot of backstory to that so

play17:03

let's go back to Sally's cuz he said oh

play17:06

Sally so what experience were what were

play17:09

you getting at Sally's girl oh well with

play17:11

Sally's I remember using the

play17:15

bleach I remember one time I was just

play17:18

like okay my hair is long enough and I

play17:21

grew it how long like this long yeah it

play17:24

was pretty much this long maybe a little

play17:26

bit shorter but it was long enough and

play17:28

this was during like the emo days where

play17:30

even the girls had like you know the

play17:32

bangs across I bleached it and I fell

play17:36

asleep in my bathroom and my hair just

play17:38

started coming off I remember I'm like

play17:40

I'm not a woman anymore cuz I'm like all

play17:43

that hard work that I I did to grow it

play17:46

so that was my Trauma from Sally I see

play17:51

wow oh my God you know I can totally

play17:54

feel your pain on that like you know you

play17:58

you feel like you attribute so that's

play18:00

you

play18:01

know the thing about when you first

play18:04

start dressing up as a woman you know

play18:06

you start going out as a woman I feel

play18:09

like slowly because like for me I had my

play18:12

like when I first transitioned I was

play18:13

dressing like a total prostitute slot

play18:17

like it was just not sexy like I feel

play18:20

like what I'm wearing right now is sexy

play18:22

I feel like it's a lot for some of y'all

play18:24

but for me I feel like it's sexy it's

play18:27

womenly you know and um but I dress like

play18:29

this for myself now you know and I don't

play18:31

feel like I do it so I can get like a

play18:34

statement and and I'm like oh am I going

play18:36

to look feminine am I going to look

play18:38

passible like now I don't even care

play18:40

right but when you first transition you

play18:42

definitely pay more attention to

play18:44

everything that you're wearing and I

play18:46

feel like you have that episode where

play18:47

you're overly showing everything oh

play18:49

you're pushing everything you're like oh

play18:51

my gosh I want to be more than a woman

play18:53

and be overly extra the shortest micr

play18:56

skirt use it as a belt you

play19:00

know exactly exactly so it's like now

play19:03

we're at this point where I mean look at

play19:06

you like I've seen you dress total like

play19:10

this or even more relaxed where you go

play19:13

out and you're like oh you

play19:15

know how much do you think your fashion

play19:18

sense has changed from your first

play19:20

transition right like your first day

play19:22

going out and dressing up and then where

play19:25

do you get your clothes like when you

play19:27

first started dressing up you had

play19:30

we don't all have this old man so I mean

play19:33

where did where were you getting your

play19:34

clothes from was it all coming from this

play19:36

Source or no so in the beginning when I

play19:40

started transitioning the the dressing

play19:43

part was like I need to be like a woman

play19:46

how do women dress you know like I need

play19:49

to prove to other people that I am a

play19:53

woman and I dress like a woman and I'm

play19:55

sexy and I'm all these things what I

play19:57

thought a woman is compared to how I am

play20:01

now whereas I don't care I know who I am

play20:05

I could look like whatever I could wear

play20:07

a brown paper bag and still

play20:11

feel yes I I qu you y I'm the same way

play20:15

I'm like now I feel like my clothing is

play20:18

more of a something that makes me feel

play20:21

good versus something that I'm trying to

play20:24

project yes exactly like now I'm

play20:26

projecting who I want people to see me

play20:29

as my clothing is me I wear a bra

play20:32

because I'm a woman like now it's like

play20:34

I've I have like tons of bras back to

play20:36

when I was dancing and I don't wear them

play20:39

I rarely wear bras right bre them let

play20:42

them breathe but you know that's the

play20:45

thing like for me like this topic it was

play20:48

so important to talk about because I

play20:49

feel like when you for me I started

play20:51

getting my clothes from the Goodwill

play20:53

believe it or not yeah I didn't have the

play20:56

money like I didn't have the money and I

play20:58

didn't have the old man yeah I don't

play21:00

have the money I was too young yeah so

play21:02

then it's just like slowly I started

play21:05

like collecting more and more stuff and

play21:07

I remember that back my drag days I

play21:09

would wear the wig I just didn't like it

play21:11

like back then I feel like there wasn't

play21:13

wigs like today yeah they are that's why

play21:15

like nowadays you don't even know who's

play21:16

wearing a wig like am I wearing a wig

play21:18

are you wearing a wig are you wearing a

play21:22

wig but you know I feel like the young

play21:25

people that are watching us and I want

play21:28

them to know that the moment or even you

play21:32

know the older people that are

play21:33

transitioning like don't get so caught

play21:35

up in um your transition and the

play21:38

clothing that you're wearing the makeup

play21:40

um and feel that that's all that there

play21:43

is to be who you are because I feel like

play21:45

my transition has taken me from wanting

play21:49

to dress and look a certain part to just

play21:51

being who I am for example now I have

play21:54

all my operations and I wake up in the

play21:56

morning and it's no I stopped chasing

play21:59

the transition yeah like now I'm just

play22:02

trying to look young

play22:06

yeah but yeah you know now I I stop

play22:09

chasing the and people don't confuse me

play22:11

as a he him mhm and people don't look at

play22:13

me weird when I use the women's restroom

play22:15

or when I go into women's lock like

play22:18

locker rooms or when I go into

play22:20

Victoria's Secret to try on a bra like

play22:22

nobody ever confuses me for being a male

play22:25

and that's was my goal my goal was to to

play22:28

become who I am today who I feel that I

play22:31

am you know so for you do you feel that

play22:34

you have reached that point in your

play22:36

transition yeah um I felt that point

play22:40

after I got my bottom surgery where

play22:43

after that maybe it's because I don't

play22:46

produce testosterone you know what I

play22:48

mean so kind of like all those things

play22:51

that phased me before it just kind of

play22:55

dissipated but maybe that's my head

play22:57

telling me that I felt like who I really

play22:59

am inside you know I felt complete so I

play23:02

didn't have anything else to prove to

play23:05

anybody and I proved it to myself that I

play23:07

could do it and here I

play23:09

am yay oh my god well I'm so happy that
