"I had always felt that there was something a little off but I couldn't really describe it," she said. "And since society in the 90s didn't really have words [for it] the only thing you ever saw about trans people were on Jerry Springer...and so it never really occurred to me [that I was transgender]...And I just went, 'okay, I'll just live my life as a nice boy and pretend that this is how everything is supposed to be.'"
