I wouldn't, even my worst enemy, I wouldn't want to put in that position.

No.

Oh, it makes me feel kind of emotional.

And it felt very like Wicked in the way of like, did you see Wicked the movie?

And I think of like the villainization of, I think about the animals in Wicked because it's like they needed a common enemy.

And so they're like, okay, great, trans people.

And then with me, it felt very Elphaba of like,

Here's somebody that had the best of intentions, but they needed that poster child.

And what was so crazy, I think, about it was to be in such a happy place in my life, feeling really stable, feeling like all these things were going so well, and then to kind of have –

everything ripped away in a way that felt... I almost want to say the word like naked because it felt like I had been backed into like a cage and it felt like I was isolated.

Even though I did have, you know, some really loving people around me and on my team, I felt alone.

And I also didn't want to make anyone else's life harder because of it.

And I hated that like...

the people that loved me in my life had to even give attention to it.

And now looking back, I'm like, no, that is what loving relationships are and connections and business relationships is like, oh, when shit goes down, these are the people that show up.

And this is a man that she loved.

Yes, I think that like I have this image of my mother crawling under the window in my house while all the reporters were outside trying to get pictures.

And like that's something that I would never have wanted to see.

You know, like I would never want to put her in that position.

But the fact that she did show up for me in that way is really freaking cool.
