Eros Correspondent: Tell us a little bit about your background. When did you initially realize that you were "different?"

Allanah Starr: I was born under the Communist regime in Cuba and migrated to the U.S. when I was five years old. People always ask me how our family was able to leave; the reason is simple. My father was a political prisoner and they wanted him out. I grew up in Miami, but have lived in New York City for seven years now.

Ever since I can remember I have always felt extremely effeminate. I know it sounds very classic and cliché for someone in my circumstance, but I truly was never interested in boy's toys or games. I always wanted to play with dolls and dress up and play house. I didn't really realize I was different from anyone else until I was in kindergarten and the school kids started calling me a sissy and a ->-bleeped-<-got.
