I was cast in commercials, music videos, and booked a lot of modeling jobs. But my acting career never took off because I was holding myself back. I was acting across from male partners who didn't know that I am trans. I was being taught by teachers who didn't know.

Often, if someone wants to date me because they know I'm trans, it's for specifically sexual reasons, and it doesn't ever lead to a relationship.

A man is able to take me to a restaurant, but he's not able to take me home to mom. Society is still not at a place yet where they see us as family.
