Good evening everybody, this is Ms. Audrey and you are in Ms. Audrey's House on a
beautiful and bright and sunny but freezing cold Saturday morning here in Las Vegas.
With us tonight is Julie Sue
somebody I've known for a couple of years now and have
learned to
really deeply appreciate and have developed a great and abiding love for and you can see
her beautiful face on the screen right now, how are you Julie?
I am really good, and it's about sixty degrees here in Dayton, Ohio.
Oh, and I'm complaining about the weather here!
You guys are getting snow, aren't you?
Well the snow is almost gone, there is not much left
Ahhh...
okay so it's actually warmed up a bit on your end
for today
for today, yeah!
(laughing)
Well, everybody, Julie Sue is a transwoman,
who began to become aware that she was different at an early age.
In nineteen ninety nine she became aware that she was not alone, and visited a local Transgender support group, she was not a little visit a local
called Crossport, and you can find them at www.crossport.org
Julie was excited about her discovery, but her wife was not supportive at all
Julie elected to purge off her identity at the end of two thousand one
and focused on professional growth,
and building her own company as a replacement
as a result Julie alienated her family, ran up a lot of debt due to a business failure,
and was very depressed.
It appeared that the drive to climb the corporate ladder was no substitute
for what was missing inside.
In two thousand seven Julie moved her family to the El Segundo, California area,
out of a frustration with work and a desire to be in L.A.
!n hindsight she believes that this was a very selfish move,
giving no getting a consideration to her family.
Julie and her family lived in the L.A. area for eighteen months and things did not go well.
Her wife was very depressed, and money was a challenge, and Julie was living a secret life. challenge
at the end of two thousand eight, Julie moved her wife and children back to Dayton, OH, while she stayed in the L.A. area.
During that time, Julie worked to find a job back in Dayton.
During this time she was able to experience being herself
while living alone in L.A.
Julie discovered and then quickly joined Metropolitan Community Church of Los Angeles
and made many good friends who were able to help her on her journey,
but the separation from her wife and family made Julie realize that she had to make a
decision as to whether to stay married and return to Dayton, or
start a new and very different life in L.A.
In the end, Julie decided to return to Dayton, Ohio,
and accepted a job at Booz Allen Hamilton.
she told her friends at MCCLA her intention to return to Dayton, and her
plans to tell the Pastor at the local baptist church about her struggle with being transgendered.
Over the last two years julie has lived in dayton ohio living two separate
lives, and that has not always been easy.
She joined Toastmasters International and is now the president of the Dayton
United Communicators toastmasters club, and you can find them at:
http://1694.toastmastersclubs.org.
Since joining Toastmasters, Julie has received two Competent Communicator awards,
one additional Bronze award,
and an additional Competent Leader award as well as being asked to serve as Area Governor.
Her success in Toastmasters has built self-confidence, but has also added to her stress and pain.
During this interview,
julie will discuss her struggles with having two identities
and her hopes for the future
So, so let's get started and and and talk about you, Julie. I've known you for a
few years now
and I've always known you as Julie,
uh... however, Julie is actually is um... how do I explain that?
Julie is who you are, but is not who you were born as
is that, is that accurate?
I think
that that is a very challenging question (interrupted) I don't get any sound from you
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Yes, I can.
Yes i can.
Did you lose me again?
Nope, I've got you.
That's a very challenging question, and
an early age I did notice something was different, I liked wearing my, my
sister's dress.
and uh... i really love being Julie
but it seems that one of the challenges I have is that I also love my children
Ilove my wife
and its just difficult
difficult uh... life to have, because on the one side I enjoyed being Julie,
but yet I'm still tied to being another person
Okay,
and so, um
now, those who don't know the difference between a Transwoman, and a Transman and a Transgendered person
they're all basically the same, what the difference is
it's not the
birth gender, it's the target gender.
That's absolutely correct. And, of course, you were born male male but ... um
your target gender is female, basically meaning that,
that, for lack
of a better way of uh... uh... more correct way of putting it
you discovered you were a woman,
even though you had a man's body.
Yes, i feel that way many times.
okay, alright and so your move to L.A., your initial move to Los Angeles
was precipitated by what?
wasn't who need to be more yourself as Julie, or was it an opportunity
and so on that
or what it wanted a challenge is wesat
i'd hyper stopping julie fact around two thousand two
and i thought i was replaced that with
building leadership skills and
and gave up
other real estate and
i'd just does not replace that desire to be julie
so when i got frustrated working
and i made that phone call to talk to a friend los angeles that working out
there
i really wanted to discover who julie was a nice bell pepper i was in los
angeles
i'd be able to find people to help you know journey
and i was actually right
sophie
and you didn't do that
yes i've heard unfortunately it works for you
i remember you are a lot of ways that it did but it didn't work everywhere
problem
lily-white example
matters stairs exactly correct i remembered that
we got to los angeles
place when i got the los angeles
i was able to connect very quickly with people
that except transgender people
back in two thousand seven
but with my family arrived
my wife had a lot of trouble with
with living in los angles you don't like how crowded it was
we have financial challenges and she went to return back to dayton ohio
so what i had sunk
so what i had done as i have some chili
move my family to dayton ohio one st here in los angeles
and for the first time my life i had the opportunity julie as much as i wanted to
be hijacked by much prosecute church los angeles adjoint women's group
i'd joined the choir
i developed lots of friends including yourself yes that's the problem was is
that
i could not live with the idea of walking away from my family
i remember walking down the steps that i had a center saying i will never leave
los angeles
but i could also the other side of the satellite have to be with my family
which children
and i i i like it or inclusion night and i had to return it they know how to my
cats
and one of the challenges was is that when i sat down with a friend of mine
benson toastmasters much over my picture she asked me who is less
i said this is me
and then she loved the picture instead this as a lot of questions for me and
you have a difficult choice when she made the comment and sad what she knew
beat
julian toastmasters
and then your honor self-denial approach to life
an accident to some extent work for me
because when when i'm not really i always look forward to going to eat
but when i am julia i'm not so excited about not being
myself
okay and so do you think that that julie is you really quick
dooley is a real simple
mean almost
with emotions he sometimes go back and four hundred at times i would agree with
you
but morgan bought my children
and when i get involved
with supporting my children stand and things
that connects robbie harris minor self strengthens because i don't have my
family
when i'm julie
uh... one of the most difficult things that i have
and unity com
at the national difficult that must be in
it's it's terrible
i know i know i went to a ballgame to see my *** on playing the cabin
we're playing into the high school and i just love being with him and i thought
about all the things that we bought were duplicates
because i've really invested in them
but then i house of his other like this chili which i also love not gotten back
i was so excited to have this interview with
ways you anne and started my day about seven a m once i left the house
transition will be seeing brain are
hydro too
soon other university which is being
we competency
crash accompanying this university and i guess i'm not going to get up early this
morning
uh... it's it's being weld right brain university wright state university is
one
but right now
but
by a struggle is so much
because on one side i always hear about being julie c barker
and i put so much effort into being julie try also love my children dearly
and i love my wife dearly
so i'm i'm stuck in this on this fence posts
between two worlds
wanting to be jillian enjoying everything about being a woman
but also loving being with my kids of my friends
and it seems like the longer i said on the fence it just gets harder it doesn't
get easier
uh...
e
you know that you would think that
at some point it would be if you have some really difficult choices that you
have to me and it requires not only a lot of dont
the effort
it picked up in regards
i mean my have so many things i deal with a deal with my job which is very
important idea with my investments that i have
i and i spent time with my poor children
i had not had lunch with my all this time yesterday
i've been in the evening i went to a game under my other son had
and i spent time with my two youngest children home

within the time exhausting
actually exhausting at times when i always make make a point try to go to
bed around ten o'clock
and and shooting and try to get up around
around five thirty and i really can't tell that emphasis on having a good diet
and part of my motivation
if that is why i like looking good

and and this is land they have to use either
skinny ***
well
eight

it's a lot of work
i've been trying to yesterday's couple
just trying to set up a couple pounds i picked up ground christmas
i have this gorgeous out there but i really like wearing
but it's really tight right now way at work or should the alright might all my
waist a little bit
and i had that makes it a little bit tighter check if the spirit stretch
pants that i have on the bed
they have discovered that the other side sorrows
was a little bit away
are just suffer with the pain of having type of thing
well you know that it's more work but it's there for you no longer the dot the
fans are dead and i'm having a little problem right now too
that night
and you back to you
dayton
two thousand nine
that's correct it was august of two thousand nine black students current
number
that days show vividly
i'm getting on redbox to go to the l_a_ external to fly back here
and
actually cried at night as i would
because i was happy to be living happily but i was so centrally
boss and less
well i i think i know a sample of the people bhai unusual things were said to
see you go to school
you and i see you and i had some interesting conversations and just as a
side note everyone to me
is very intelligent
julie
issues that's not a kalos by like the column
uh... and sheet is my issues my my favorite depicting the whole work a
whole wide world
because means adenomas ought to love these
uh...
and uh... so and so we only have these interesting stations company ron
opposite sides of the political spectrum
um... and that's what i think both of us because we've got a plan to get without
the others colegio
and we're going to do you get back with blood appreciation and uh... action has
been a big heart of monday
uh... openness to
do and uh...
that took the more conservative movement dot hardly broke
and um...
sometimes the experience the full when you're talking to someone who is uh...
not-so-little
that's mostly in anymore
this has always been wonderful that's been a wonderful experience for me
because it gives me an opportunity to open my own mind to um... with some of
the questions that feedback on the more conservative end of the spectrum
have about people like me
okay
but and and city police answered questions that you'd like me have but
also that the other on the more conservative in this picture and it's
been wonderful
event that you remained friends even though you're so far away now
you know one interesting thing uh... are just so happy
espanola at that little
etc
wondered what it means the spirit a one of the big challenge we have in
washington
useing color correction extra where
on on one side of the spectrum
mhm people on leadership wants to placate the american people and give
them things they want to meet the needs of lobbyists but one of the interesting
things
and sent
ethics in government is a big challenge a friend of mine was telling me
that one unless one bug one of our presidents nominees had voted to raise
the income
of the office and he's being nominated state
and just things like that i'm not just the sex of their
but one of the one of the things that we have a problem with this widespread
corruption in government
one of the reasons why we have this very similar deficit
is not necessarily because we want to spend the money and good thanks
but how we spend that money
and imagine that if you're headed
bipartisan commission that
could simply strip out things that we were needed
objectively
and how much better things would be because how many things that we've
funding i really don't help people here
and a here there's no way i'm going to go to get here because
i do believe that i agree with you that
having providing people with some level healthcare is a good idea
because if you don't get people health care
when they begin to have issues it actually is a cost anymore because it
promptly syria lebanon receiver
also we are still interested situation
we have an issue with
with social security will be promised people will be able to expand their old
age
well the promising that people working
poor working people and people retired is getting out of balance which means
you're gonna have to cut back and benefits
or raise the point at which you can retire to make the system salvageable
so what you have to do is yet to make really hard cuts and all these areas
and yes you probably have to raise taxes on the rich but the danger is the race
taxes too much of an absolutely economy
where i think and who really sad part about it is
why can she had economist come out with a solution to trust them in your
decisions
gentlemen assist networks
without ever happen because lobbyist for slipping one may give politicians money
to push airwaves
and we're not going to go public with a sensible solution we're going to get a
solution
now we get based on who pushes the hardest
yes uh... somewhat immature liberal or conservative or label you want
we're stuck with a with a system that is in a way broker
yeah yeah anything that's on the liana government does tend to be stabilized
and pound foolish
we have three three d_o_ yeah
course looking there's one idea though
instead of instead of saying the rich should pay more
much if any coverage
uh...
until we have in the economic package
i'm xx
half it just yet but that's only you know
haha
my goal is to be one of them is that right
uh... chest area i recently that i had done some speeches on one intro
balance sheets
and doing it and i were stated every mother's day going
at reading some promise of my properties cited a financial statement from one of
my properties for last year and i noticed i lost all three thousand
dollars net profit last year
i talked about eight thousand dollars in the property
probably in two thousand and two
to renovate it
and it suddenly occurred to me ask you but i a m that the structures than
losing money for years and years and years and it's happening
never going to get better anytime soon
i finally concluded question just get rid of it
i talked to mike and and found out this thing called depreciation
doesn't compensate me for my losses and peeking out of money i read off my taxes
for losses doesn't cover sydney my losses i'm better off walking away
actor walked away in two thousand meaningful
but i can't
because i paid two hundred seventeen thousand dollars as property and so on
top of the eighty nine thousand dollars my ego would handle that
at one of my money back
uh... instead of cutting my losses right by the mayor i'd probably lost need
additional fifteen thousand dollars operate lots
inquiry years or
though is that very smart
but you know we always can realize that now we can change our ways to do the
right thing
so i'm going to be getting rid of the property since i can
because then you look at how i've improved my balance sheets and i've dug
myself out of this huge all
it looks pretty impressive
but i could have done better
i could have done a lot better
okay yes one of my frustrations and i think my desire to be doing
drives me to do a better financially
because i know that i can ever get out of debt
i have more options
yes however if i can ever amassed more investments that produce residual cash
for me which means
and to work to get the money money news shows up
worth and pushes me closer to having freedom to write to make my own choices
if i had if i had more money i could just apply outside las vegas
to do this interview person art were handed over the internet which would
have been so much more fun park years built a business trip in walked around
for a while but i wasn't bad
dot but you know that's one of the time unfortunately celeste has more about
uh... about your life is julie now com
i don't know i don't remember if there is a metropolitan community church
engagement
allright however your uh... if you've chosen to go to
different searching he joined the baptist church here is that correct
that is correct that that might my right
my wife when she went back your whatever task was to project search
and she settled on a on a song about the southern baptist church
that is not too far warehouse
and i've been there a couple times and the people that were very friendly and i
felt that what i want to do is i want to simply be very honest with the past
erupting transgender when i got there
and sarawak ran size actually crazy
and perhaps they were right
but the way it played out was that i sent out to the practice
and i told him i have something i want to tell you by the secretary has to
nancy parker i'd rather be a girl than a boy
and i just want you to be aware of that
and i i could not believe i said those words because of the things i
it was even willing to admit to myself
sometimes you're self-conscious those things that you don't know but she won't
let your subconscious speak annual idea rational mind to suppress that what you
truly creole inside
and can be a factor that was a nearly was asking not purchased anyone's
program which is an educational program for children so the effect that had at
black churches out there right along the wildly sort of ministry
because some on transgender
and and i think the reason why it happens is because southern baptists
believe
happy days or transgender is simply saying that people need to we can tell
that what to expect to be something so i cannot you tear your cross
and any simply deny that which you really feel you are
and just sucked up into the right thing
and i i went to counseling with but there was a base counselor to help
working these things
and he challenged me to say t_v_ openly ideas might be seven and and my
definition of san is doing things that hurt other people psycho definitely
classified
but who i am ally and could be simple
because of are they say does not have a good impact on my way money so i decided
to her job being chip
believe myself
probably in the summer of two thousand and ten
number going in and
seeing the the individual counseling with nato's decision he started praising
the lord
forgot
and how i felt inside as i kinda felt like i was a
and not being judgmental and i say this hope
people don't see it that way i just felt more like a trophy
i really felt like i was an understudy objective was me was to get me to repent
cannot understand what's going on inside
and it wasn't now so till the passion the same thing
and i still felt so empty and so alone
and i wasn't within a week roberts' head of the crowd bears
and and my subconscious mind spoke out
and i was headed ninety miles an hour and a car
uh... well hyatt
and that isn't the only time that i rewards for suicide instead of because
it hasn't
well gee let me clinical data kill myself is indeed the cars we recycle
tragedy guarantees you myself being a politician
it's moral
and you get so depressing so stressful
that's your your subconscious
mine takes over
and driving was very dangerous
but but that was not the first time this has happened
you know after i retain my sanity i job seeker is about twenty miles an hour of
somebody
hitting one of my billing and
approved in mind that we have in common amy told me that status that is the most
selfishly into because he berkshire children so much
commitment to each other on sacrifices because of my family
commend why would you ever want to commit suicide values opportunity
yourself
it's over
anions right
one either just intensifying as many as some kind of random motorcycle
and i've got a very good at writing a motorcycle
but at what price
because i i push myself really really hard to learn a lot of skills remember
jumping on the interstate highway admit first week ahead in trying to work
scared to death
i remember writing up the rain wanting a private supplier
you know i mean i'm scared to death you know i have cars around maybe we can see
motorcycles when his son's outward how about when you have a pounding rain
here's a motorcyclist party that scared
yet
gets hot enough to fight competent trading like ac all yes it is so
but need two things that just had to deal with
enchanted april
but it it's okay
it's not but i think what keeps me going
is is teacher
you know i have a have a son in college
anand i'm very excited that he's successful i had some message union
police say well actually children and i
highlander races
and help them to have a successful life
and many times it's down they keep me going
tax credits emotionless but still i think it's vital
them tank
you know and i think one of the hot from now
it doesn't
that doesn't mean anything it's a heavy burdens here
uh... let me know
it's all about
aapki networking
as the
examples
unskilled walker
um... being julienne being bossy
uh... that
it's very difficult to meet middle because if you need in the middle youth
lose on both ends
so and one thing about this indictment in the conversation that you and i have
kept head we talked about your children
and there's no doubt in my mind and anyone who's who's never met with uh...
just sent some with a few moments how much you love your children
and so i have to ask and
what do your children you know about julie
and and
are they all hate with what they know
will not be expected really interesting thing because
when i was saying another counselor be the counselor warned me but i i might
want to talk to my kids white guys
companies about action and first i had the opportunity to
to take a picture myself who i am
and i i took my two to all this place one economy donaldson said i just want
to tell you that a second than it is really sick parker
anthony oldest son
did not take it very well
and the one-time convinience and what are you doing
but
i can i just stop talking up into any kind of went away
my my
my second son is kind of a different about it
and whenever i talk about things he just doesn't say a lot of things back
mylife their son has probably oblivious my daughter notes
okay feedback right i got a long time said to me
that you need to stop trying to be a girl
and sees no
g_-seven
okay busted that's
and that's the latest seven-year-olds think you know it's either one thing or
another
well i'm excited that she knows because
i was i was career hair and i said i i wish i had a writer's
and it's just that you need to start you need to stop her
when you get girl
okay in what was your response to that
crying out basic morining
after whatever it may be a day goes on to the corrupt
it catalina reyes really embroidery comfortable where
would be so kind of interaction so there's a there's a a slow progression
are
uh... of movement saying i want people to come for beating jillian
or
and the other side of that is that people just last years i've really never
said that i'm tempted to them
i did show up tonight his speeches in relation to sessions i think at least
sixteen five billion publisher but now that i've done really los angeles
casters
and bradenton stressors monica practice what they did talk about her
educational program
and during the conversation i told her about about being transplanted republic
having children she didn't know i have charter alleppey
because we we have a relationship from work for you to tell you things
playing tennis masters because i'm not open to talk about being transgender i
was like in the absence of the fence looking back
which is an interesting *** and and and she was ok with meeting transgender
because i told her
about that
about being married about having to take my wife's rejecting
needing transgendered woman was as well julie i'll email you issue
and that makes this makes no difference for some great friends
well we never have enough to people
but i still scary because
is that really true well actually interrelationship if i tell people
you know i will tell you something i always think mindset
i've always been at the mindset that uh... good or bad
um... the relationship always changes
uh...
in some way
and here here's what the issue
in ordered move the city
um... i don't think i person that you are uh... denied see serve as a
compromise we're going to ask you to address that i really liked it so i i
commented on the dress
and um... i think i think it was really happy that dad knew and started coming
to women's group
yeah
and uh... he can't really close and i've always really appreciated that and
because you told me land allotment and did anything like that at the present
time only ever known
as to what he had never known you as nazi social uh... all of my interactions
meeting
uh... my face-to-face interactions anyway of has always been
often single although couple looks at times when we talk on the final artery
and dr
it's interesting to note that the police saw the different
and i'm talking to judy anti i'm not too
growing
soltahr he can always tell the difference anything okay
and it never occurs
uh... rich person i talked to him
it's just the same person that i love it happens to have you know to uh...
diametrically opposite people um... living inside
panhandle
i couldn't refuse to let you know between us we know a number of other
trans women and trans men
and that we've been discharged and um... and
have similar philosophy on
christianity and down
uh... and guilty guilty issues
uh... having been involved in memories though
metropolitan community church of los angeles
appalled by the way uh... number one by the nuclear rubin said handicapped
associate is now
well-founded restriction so and that's a side note about particular congregation
an
you know i've always
not admitting scared me are
dont like me blockade
am matthew
is britannica kissed by the advantages of being a member of that particular
church's that she reached the point where you don't really care
but which person you're talking to go to care about is the president
regardless of the name that's
attack other people are not quite sympathetic nameplates so uh... likes
about kumar who are still having a really what time
this uh...
living your life density dayton and increasing quite a bit of rejection both
in the church and at home
intrigue particularly cryptography
complain that simple
well um... yes said the democrats minister wielded the staff of on
appreciates it
may have wanted and i want to be judgmental
i really don't
because that's where that churches
but they're not ready to accept me
or not there
and
that's one of the things about rep about
about dealing with people is that perhaps
it's better to accept them restaurant they are
and know that decisions they make
are grounded in whom they are
yes somehow simply deal with the reality of back i'm just not yes it's the salad
and try to get emotions out of it because
i'm not that church of my children
yes he did not
and
then it would be nice to be more accepted but i'd have to realize that in
their parade children
and and jess
fill the role that i have
and not expect more
because nothing more is going to be there unitl
okay
to deal ever at any point and expects he will be able to live your life all-time
is doing
old
that's that's one of those dreams sad
that's out there
but its clout it so much by the reality of who i am today
and and mike
goal uh... taken care of my children
and here is that there is in a day where i a i reran the tapes like what if i
could go back to when i left college
what decisions when i make
if i knew what i know now format time forward
and i want my life together
but the problem with that
came in so many times is i tell
wanna wish my children into nonexistence either
magid ever talked about if you can go back in time in a different decisions
one of only twenty-two active part of the wedding
they've never ever happen
of course there's other things that would happen to be in a positive way
it's almost like when you create something he ever wanted
and created
right and that's why even though i i think about things like that and i
wonder how things have been delivered made different choices
the reality is is that doesn't happen
and what better thing is this look forward and say what am i going to do
from europe or work
and i look back
uh... and not have any reason and not get so the one st
the lord has given me a line
has allowed me the excess
and i had so many good things happen
were unwanted go from here how do i look forward to going and what i want to be
and hanged so let's talk about let's talk about and let's not forget that
patients should
but can we expect schedule to see the black magic probably within two years or
so i should clear up summertime
that test one of my that's one of my michael's i probably are slaughtered by
just that
and
she grow my my welcome
hi i want to serve as a as an area governor intense masters
by i wanna see my son graduate from college
annexed
it's almost like
in chile
more than i am is on hold
something registry can see the on those things on the other problem is you
notice i haven't said much about my right to do it all
that's it that's right as bad as full and she hates me
axes seats dual
yes and and you know how you talked about and i started talking to you
yes secure document jilly my wife hates me
uh...
it was as i did
so it's difficult for me to talk my wife financially
man
confident because she wants because she's
she tells you as not to
that's right
and the person that she believes the subsidy that mary is not julie
that factually correct
exited so it's gonna be really difficult for her
to except that's happened
the person that she thought she met you that someone else
uh... living inside them
some unexpected talks someone that she did not
and was not didn't necessarily willingness to ph the relationship
and i hate you and i've had this conversation about her company's uh...
and she believes the end of the biblical interpretation that says that's um...
dean julie is saying
it's simple
endured active and that study
your your own personal interpretation as same as we just discussed a few moments
ago omg
itunes i can understanding manpower
alive close uh... work its way to conflict originates
that you know that you know my
personal selfish methods is u
fully as you were i'd like to meet not julie what's the what's inside its uh...
and they have a you don't have a sit-down dinner with erin does biology
and not too late
they also want to that's
mating as a person
that had all these conflicts that are i don't know how you doing and honestly
ivan
towns and someone that we need to be estimate we need to let you know with
through a similar conflict in it did not end welfare
um... the christine daniels uh...
who was born is night dinner
could we could not brown could no longer campbell
needs that's into the passionate comes along
being a chance
his material
instead
and
the ended her life
and uh... it email ag i'd never want to see that happen to be any
but it is is
the truth that the situation acts enemies you spoke about a few moments
ago
uh... if you drive being
interest in road and friday you you'd want to end it because it is so
stressful it is such a hard line toward and you have to go through so
over many emotional and spirits limited changes and constantly it seems like
before
but you can also we also know but at least
you translate into have
completely transparent param
ticket completely transitions
who are now not just living their lives as women but they have become women's
and so we know that there is also another option
do so
my question to you is is their at
you proceeded in the future xd times make he's definitely a couple
transitioning completely
i think that to happen
i would have to eliminate the obstacle preventing that
the which is my family's rejection socialites
so in a way
this might sound really
really strange but i'm probably more faithful to my wife
because i'm agreeable to live in this difficult situation it would've been so
easy to simply never return
i mean i had my family and they know how i have been in the house
i had good income coming in
in monsanto side good friends
it i could've aren't going to take an easy way out in salem
opportunity
uh... but you talk about that now rather
you away i guess i chose another route
but it just not as narrow as some people would like it
welcomes you know that and that's just part of the journey for you
and he keeps translated rent transcripts
means journey
is different k there there's a whole it's always the similarities everybody
has their that there are those um... things that you have in common with
other transgendered individuals blood outside of that scariest etc
hopeful that want dominating wanted type into your room
and letters because he knows
any chance to the people
and we both know that there are
hundreds if not thousands of transgendered individuals downtown area
decided that we don't know an you know how your story
uh... is from
it is is one of hope it's a very hopeful story at least of my personal
sounded to me that i didn't even know you know he didn't go through a whole
lot living
lag as julian in living like this nineteen
oh
and his team and then and dear is
there can be a middle road he said
stuff available
but you know you making places about what you would wish to do anything he
did with the consequences
at the choices that you me
hurt
and it
i think that could be that something that a lot of people forget
especially when win
that is here
interesting um... uh...
exploring uh... view
you think you've run out of the options
use
oral arable land persons who have s who
with convinced in looking at the options
and instead of rejecting them
deciding that it's much more of its too hard its genes are supposed to be
painful
uh... you've chosen to leave
looks like it up
and mantegna road
i think you know we admire you for that despite all the thank you
the b and not be
a handsome leading what's called an econ
of israel girl which is a term that i'm really
uh...
by i can't imagine being in a situation where
i had to
constantly moving brown miami may be a good time
there's privately i have to wetlands and for that person
and uh... you know that's what i'm going to be maybe some of that that percent
projects
being comfortable with making that decision
and
finding
away with that
i can't help but it may early june simpler
antonia
coming out
onto another subject he told me at one point that you were thinking about
getting your here's here's
i had cut firings right now
there's so many more options works
with pierced earrings because they are hurt as much
and and that would also be another statement better but i really want to be
doing
if i would actually in my ears pierced and i know
i know that that
that not mean would be okay i worked with having pierced ears
but
that would send the signal to the home front
that might not he said yes
on as just another one of those dates
that better than say i'd like to give me your spheres
but it's more of a question of when
okay
as i know that for instance i have some of the hearings that i'd probably seen
that before
but i i lost one so shan everyplace else i have to go find them any day academy
shipped in
a lot of times i have to cry
i've had to pass out have a blue on the on the adhering to make sure they don't
bother
but if they were there savages stick them in the hall no at the end in waco
so asbestos as just one of those things about feeling pretty
more hearings
and whenever i whenever i see real women and i look at their real herron there
really appears years
and entered the race i think she is
i mean you know i kind of
desired to be those individuals and main exiled several ladies walking out of the
game last night
and i admired their paradigm will cut their hair and how they dealt with them
and by the way this year's new monet's garden here at the love that
you know i a struggling with the water fountains because i have had my parents
may have lied
my computer bag and i had a tripod that i have
anti when she gets
have something to drink and ahead on the water and in my paragraph or or
appropriate ard
okay actually well site about myself well you know bottled water to drink
because none
it was just too much of a deal that despite everything down and pull my hair
out a way to get a drink of water
uh...
but i really do like long hair i think it was in the lives of others like
having you know
and and having a in in your eyes many route and yes deal about australia
someone here
i still like in lots of reasons they'd be carefully whether self-regulatory
right here because i
i think we don't have any
account very little hair naturally
well if you look good as a block
ha thank you
mia
will be fully clothed like to tell us about yourself doing
not one one one claimed what i notice is that
if you commit yourself to be an excellent what she do
it'll make the transition alive easier with time
okay
kyoki because you have that respect
so having people respect to o
and ensuring something that's different because a lot better than people not
respecting you
and and showing something different
and is therefore a philosophical thing is is the axle and everything you do
and that way when it's time you get printed
no exception more czar
lookin
well you know i eleven ext sixteen thirty environment
intelligently and not really an appeal
appreciate that
yuqing
well you know and heads and then he d order doesn't know him
and um... finally got other things that you got to do today some would say well
the kids are deaths
hansel and then a and go ahead and let you know it's not that the show
and and indeed down
expanded my a everlasting love do you do and i was willfully wrong
and that my amazement and k
old you were able to and with ma
movies he's from world
teamleader leslie
although we did the book now that there is that there is quite a bit ever
the alberta got a one hour test ***
requires that for our commitment on my part
to get
it to get dressed in their insistence that tonight's debate
reaction has to be a little pot for america
to get me through the transition
please okay even even responding to
imagine
imagine people changing their routes their gender references
it during the day
courier one gender
there and what are the day and said we're different gender during the other
part of it
and that you gave for reference you buy a different name
yes if i can get confusing
and again i don't know how you do it
honestly don't know how you do it and i have to admire your ability to do that
any anti-american cuz i know of how much difficulty is behind
let's definitely get
you've given me a waiver appreciation for people in my life for the people in
my life and this is the deal
do
and i know i i know i've really enjoyed having you as a friend
and you cannot make it difficult times and i a lot saying that part of my
friends i have been los angeles
out of people that helped me keep going
because i don't have any chance you know transaction interact with the site
and and one of the challenges simply scheduling
because a lot of times people who are transgendered evening's meeting
i have attached my family
outside no ability to connect with them
and i appreciate you getting up early in the morning to do this interview
because they really were in spite of children my family are state hoses my
opportunity to a morning instead
so it's it's kind of these brave moments before after work my secret files that i
have a storage facility
or saturday mornings and maybe putting on a trip somewhere i can be truly for a
moral long curriculum
when well n
denied it and i say this man
he has a few five-second backpack
yes yes i a disservice to the you know you're thinking well one of my favorite
is that people will be and might be
yeah
unless there are people
and i loved being around them and you know i think the having spent my entire
life being flight
dupree sharpen yourself you know art fair
acrobatic by is
as well akkada
i hang out at some of your struggles you had with hangout uh... an
african-american woman
and the struggles you had with your culture
special being as successful educated black woman
and i know that's created struggles for you as well
so-and-so yeah there are many denials
and you've given me great insight into into your culture
and the clintons journalist but i have no knowledge of
you've explained some of those things to me
and i appreciate that
nyc loosening
the and then go ahead and let people go and decided that your day
i'm going to go
anything like that but i think
um... china we catch and start my day
yes yes although i'm usually at this time the morning and
usually online and uh... it's mostly effort dozens of just the thing that
could be in the and getting uh... be can return bartlett
low taxes and initial truetype okay
i want one question is how i stepped back some people you know i didn't
actually see what i'm wearing
and she will okay
government-backed enough
alot
st
and
the
it is a
that i that i wish that this kind of thing it
and a nightmare rap records around my waist global tighter
and then the stretch pants i have on digest could not quite quickly buttons
so i had to do as i had to type during the course
just a little more syndicate led by the stand and sitting in a chair could be
very uncomfortable
so i've had it had to change my positions around
but back then
eddie tries to be in indicted
yes
is so i really wanna i'm going to be honest julia i want to look good
and i was glad that this is not wearing you know heels and the only way to the
other watching heroes is yet to be in good shape
because it's giving us a lot of work to be he also takes a lot of practice so if
you
if you can bring your own played out between you can improve your your
presentation and also you have more mobility
and this is one of the these by that right i want to go any further than that
but about
however i can tell you this might my wife is a polar opposite of that opera
and and and
being
honestly i have to admit this is that being chilean being and and handing out
where he'll sizzler supra
but after my wife
are being overweight
and handout
but that is an issue that has an advantage
i have so much insight into this whole area because
it's a feeding cycle
that when when someone gets up for a way
they don't feel good about themselves
which means they withdraw more
which means a night might find comfort in food which makes it harder which
means there's less mobility which means that you were stuck themselves
i've noticed that when i go to uh... the y_m_c_a_ alexi
and people that are increasingly good shape the and the people that are really
had a handful of places like that and it's a it's a cycle of the loop
ex-army s lives and it's really really tragic so
i have a i have about the appreciation for people that struggle with way
because my wife has a big struggle with that hike don't know how to help hopper
editor it's almost like you have to conclusion out
money do you say about this when you saw this
and has become running inside you to do that
atlanta i can do with my wife despite a letter no accepted you are but i need to
find a way to express my concern and saying you realize that what you're
going
you concern your life
and it's gonna
it so it's already destroying your ability interact with your child is much
issue cut
because you have ability anyway and bind yourself in one of those electric
wheelchairs
and company something about it
but being transgendered having a complex
means it's difficult to broach that topic because it really goes back to you
what are you gonna solve your problems
yes someone you know when you have a yahoo
right
all right
that's that's one thing that i struggle with a lot
in my marriages if the baghdad my wife is terribly overweight
and i worry that i think should be judged by also now
that that's not fair because you can't blame me
another person decision to make
where i can you see anything nice doubles at least
does not share your view making well are and you know i it's it's still a
struggle you know this this holiday season is pitman pretty hard
knows
pronounced dead at the game thanksgiving mean over the next several years welfare
yes intentionally you know you really have to start watching
it's just so difficult i'd appreciate your struggle is well because it's it's
friday night andy especially when you're dealing with issues of weight
notes bomb failures singly schemes for both the house
winning that is that they're not backgrounds
dealing with and supplements
sometimes it's just easier to just not lost
denied them
i probably should be punished iraq this up because they get a day to start so
except that the other yes setting
having when this is
act that lets you keep having this is this
