Well, as I said in my autobiographical script, 'you can run but you can't hide...' Goffman calls it 'spoiled identity' - that's somewhat how I feel, particularly given that closeted me had a lot more friends. Out me has more respect, though, and I won that by fighting the powers-that-be. I'd hope that people would take a leap of faith and start inviting me to gigs and things. - I realise that Evee invited me. I appreciated the offer, but I was busy moving to J'ville. 👋🏻 - I'm not doing a series with people that haven't met me en femme. That goes for Tory, too, who has never seen me in a dress. They're too afraid of me the trannie, hence they're not able to license my copyrights. 🏳️‍⚧️
