'13 Reasons Why' Star Tommy Dorfman Reintroduces Herself As Transgender Woman “Today is about clarity: I am a trans woman. My pronouns are she/her. My name is Tommy.”
Dorfman tells Peters, who is a transgender woman and author of the book, “It’s funny to think about coming out, because I haven’t gone anywhere. I view today as a reintroduction to me as a woman, having made a transition medically. Coming out is always viewed as this grand reveal, but I was never not out.

, a feature film shot in secret during the pandemic. She will appear opposite Taylour Paige, Scott Speedman, Jon Bernthal and Jennifer Jason Leigh.She shares that she’s been living as a woman for about a year. “For a year now, I have been privately identifying and living as a woman — a trans woman,” she says. “I’ve been living in this other version of coming out where I don’t feel safe enough to talk about it, so I just do it. But I recognize that transitioning is beautiful.
In her interview, Dorfman also spoke of her fears about how coming out as transgender would impact her acting career. “It’s impossible for me to separate my personal and professional transition, because my body and face are linked to my career,” she said. “I feared that by actively transitioning in my personal life, I would lose whatever career I’ve been told I’m supposed to have.
“It is not transition,” Dorfman tells Peters. “Or it is, but not as an idea of going somewhere. Just that I am actually myself.”
