When I heard the phrase, acting your way into knowing, I immediately thought about the experience of transitioning.

uh and how for me i wasn't born knowing that i was a boy inside you know trapped in a girl's body instead it was really a process a very very scary process of

taking one step at a time of taking hormones week after week, of getting surgery, of changing my name.

And it was only by really acting that I was able to know that this was right for me.

It took a level of

faith and courage in the face of fear of what people would think, of what the consequences for my life would be.

And it's also been the best thing that I've ever done.

I just find that I have gradually lost that kind of courage because at that time, I didn't know what the consequences were.

I didn't know what I was doing.

Yeah.

Okay.

Hey, good.

How are you?

Good.

So my question is probably a little bit different than maybe what you're used to, but I'm going to see anyway.

I am only 5'4".

I sit at a desk all day and obviously I don't have like as much testosterone or muscle as like everyone else does.

So

The challenge that I always have is you can only eat so much or so little, depending on how you look at it.

And then the more you eat, the easier it is to work out and feel like you're being productive and actually able to push yourself doing anything.
