And around...

In my teenage years, in adolescence, I started being attracted to other boys.

And I thought like, well, I guess like being gay is the closest thing to what I feel.

You know, at the time, it wasn't conversation about trans people, and it was not a conversation about being trans.

It was not internet, you know.

So I thought I was crazy for a long time, and

When I went to the big city, you know, to go to college at age 17, I met the first trans person that I ever met in my life.

And it was like this huge realization of like, you know, first of all, I'm not crazy.

Second of all, I may not be a UFO person, right?

I may not be an extraterrestrial.

And there is like, you know, it is people like me in the world, you know.

So I just verbally...

almost assault this woman because it was like, please, please, please help me, help me, help me.

I need you, I need you.

I'm like you, I need help.

She was like, oh, calm down.

And I, you know, she said, okay, you know, I help you.

She said, I'm working right now.

She was in the street.

She said, I'm working right now.
