And, and then I, I've been trying to navigate that ever since it's been three years, which is crazy.

I did not. The first... trans non-binary person I met was ER Fightmaster, who was like the first non-binary doctor on Grey's Anatomy and is now one of like my bestest friends. And we were doing, um, it was like a UCB show for, it was comedy. And I was during Book of Mormon in LA. And I remember looking at this person and being like, what's going on here?

And I was like, your name's Fightmaster, which I was like, that's fucking awesome. Can I curse? Yes. Um, okay. Thank God. And I, I was like, there's something about this human that is so in their power and is so confident and beautiful and funny. That was giving me permission. You know, this is someone who leans on the masculine side of things. And I was like, but I see myself in this person.

Mm-hmm. And then I had a classmate, Elle Duran, who we went to college together at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, which was not a very, I think it's a lot has changed, but it wasn't at the time very open to boys leaning into femininity. And I watched her start to make videos on her transness during the pandemic. And I was like, wait, this is someone I like went to school with.

And we had this past life together. And so I do think seeing other people live their life so authentically does unlock something, you know, whether it's about gender or sexuality or whatever that might be. And that's really what social media kind of did for me during that time.

Well, it's kind of made sense. most of my dreams happen. I didn't grow up in the industry. You know, my dad's in insurance, my mom was a nurse. And I think had I not put myself out there, I don't think I would have this book coming out today. I don't, I don't think a lot of these things would have happened.

And so I am really grateful, but I also know what it's done to me psychologically and in having like There's no part of reading absolutely vile things about yourself every single day that's normal. There's nothing healthy or normal about that. And, you know, what's so funny is the reason, Glennon, that I think we're really connected is Alex Hedison, who is a dear friend to the pod.

And one of my favorite episodes, well, actually two parts if you haven't listened to it, which I'm sure everyone has because it's amazing. But Alex and I met working on Alok's doc, who is one of my best friends. And Alex was, you know, directing me in this short film. And... When we met, we started spending time together and Alex was like, I don't know about this whole TikTok thing.
