In the words of the Lady herself: I was BORN THIS WAY

Many people think being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or transsexual is a choice or a lifestyle. Well, I honestly don't remember being given the choice or waking up one day and thinking "Hmm, I think I'll become a "freak" in the eyes of society and suffer the rest of my life". Nope, doesn't ring a bell. What does ring a bell however, is being different from all the other little girls as a child. Never wanting "pink" things, loving going to get a haircut as short as possible, playing with the boys, preferring Hotwheels toy cars over Barbies. Now how do you explain that? You can't, it just is. Still think that was a choice? How about biological facts, like how my voice has always been deeper than most girls', or how I've got facial hair WITHOUT hormone treatment. How are those things a choice? I'm not trying to impose anything on anyone or convert anybody to anything. I'm simply saying I DID NOT CHOOSE to be transsexual, I DID NOT CHOOSE to be born in the wrong body. The only choice I made was to stand up for myself and not let anybody tell me I'm worth less than anybody else. That choice I do remember making.

Another more recent choice was to pursue my dream of being a comedian/actor with an ultimate goal of having my own show. Why? Many reasons, but one of the more important reasons is because I want to help others like me. If I can make it, I can use my voice to reach out and help. Someday, somehow, I know I'll make it, even if I have to wear a meat dress to get people to notice. Hopefully, it won't come to that but that is exactly why I feel inspired by Lady Gaga. She's very talented but she doesn't just sit back and enjoy the fame, she helps others through her music and her actions. I hope one day I could reach that point and inspire others to find their voice.

So again, in the words of the Lady herself: I WAS BORN THIS WAY.

Stay frosty.
