People also still like to ask about surgeries and hormones, which I’m fine to talk about to an extent, but only for the purposes of confirming my own gender journey, and to explain that everyone has Their Own journey - people are easy to make blanket statements about medical transition, and it’s time to move beyond that.
Right now it feels different in the sense that I might approach developing the character a little differently than if gender isn’t really a fore-front subject or issue (like with my character James in The Politician).
I’ve been trying to find a way to fit in since I’ve had a lot of career changes, brief encounters with Hollywood, and changes in press and publicity - and honestly.. the thing that has helped has been giving up on trying to fit in?
I ask for advice from a lot of my peers in the industry, and I also know that there’s at least 100 different ways to cook an egg, and I’m going to find my way the best by being myself.
