I even just a few weeks ago, a friend sent me a video of me shotgunning a beer when I was probably, you know, 21 in the backyard of like a college frat party. And I was like, see, I did take it for the right reason. But I took the gig not for one second thinking, oh, this could go south.

You know, I would have never signed up for something that would potentially cause me pain or the community pain or even a brand. If I thought this was going to negatively affect a brand, I wouldn't have done it. I thought this was going to be great for everyone. So I posted one video, was fine. Carried on with my life. This was right after my first year of transition.

I had done this big show at the Rainbow Room. It was very Broadway. And I mean, that was like the happiest time of my life. And then... The second video comes out. It was April 1st, I believe. So it did kind of all feel like April Fool's. And I remember it was actually I was singing at this thing called Miscast Cabaret in New York City with, you know, Ben Platt and Rachel Ziegler.

And it was like one of those. It felt like this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Like, this is my dream. All the things that I've been doing propelled me to this moment. And well, a casting director came up to me right after the show was like, oh, my God, I've been seeing all this hate that you're getting. I can't imagine how you're navigating it. I'm like, what?

Like, I had no idea what she was talking about. And because I was just I was riding high. And so then I go and I like do a little Google, which is so dangerous. Never Google yourself. Worst thing ever. And I go, oh, no. And then I remember the next day, you know, a certain country star shot at some cans in my name.

But there was never a part of me that thought that this would go on or that this would become, you know, bigger than it was at that time. And I remember being like really frustrated, like, well, this is throwing a damper in my day. Yeah. And little did I know that it was going to be the damper of potentially my life, if not the last year of it.

And I was just confused because I always gave the benefit of the doubt to this brand, to society as a whole. I was like, well, I'm trying to be a good person and they're going to be good people and we're going to fix this together. And then that never happened. And I will say, saying we can do hard things, I was thinking this morning about what is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

And at first it was like, oh, maybe is it to come out as a trans woman? I was like, no. I was like, that was actually rather easy because it was so authentically me. It was so right. But the hardest thing was to make the video that said, hey... this, you know, beer gate has happened. This is what really happened. And I need to tell you all because this isn't okay. And I'm not okay.
