took turns interviewing one another about their respective art forms.

It’s been so special. Finding her work was tied into my first real immersion in some form of trans community. I was dating my first girlfriend at the time, a trans girl who taught me how to love being trans and introduced me to many t-girls who I still love and consider family to this day.

Thankfully, that’s because I’ve been given the space by a wonderful production team, particularly Sam Levinson, the showrunner and creator. He’s been the most collaborative and open to sharing and having me there with him, really building out the body and the life of this character.
