00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 3>mentioned a certain somebody who I was excited about knowing

23

<v Speaker 3>for a long time and potentially get.

24
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:30.799

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 1>And we're going to get into why.

26
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 3>First, let me introduce the iconic legendary Victor Belmont.

27
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, Hi.

28

30
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 3>better things to do with your life. But last episode

31
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 3>I sang your praises and shared a couple stories, and

32
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 3>then as we were discussing some things, we both kind

33
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 3>of looked at each other and we're like, you know what,

34
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 3>Victor would make a great guess, And I immediately reached.

35
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:04.959
<v Speaker 1>Out and you were down and here you are, so

36
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:05.760

<v Speaker 1>Thank you. So this is cool you guys. Of course,

<v Speaker 1>I feel like I.

41
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Feel like, how many times have we met where you're

42
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.919
<v Speaker 2>like working and dancing.

43
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 5>Now, probably for like eight years, like in a in

44
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 5>a real way, probably eight years. That's all I do

45
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 5>is dance.

46
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>You're a workaholic, though I am.

47
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 5>If I'm not working, I can't think, you know, that

48
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 5>is my thing? Thinking bad money good?

49
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Has that always been the case?

50
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 5>You can't catch a running target right head running target,

51
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 5>So and like I just feel like I don't know,

52
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm a Sagittarius.

53
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm a fire sign.

54
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Do you not like to like take a look in sometimes?

55
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I'm I'm super spiritual. I'm I actually take I

56
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 5>take at least a week off every month to just

57
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 5>kind of like why the fuck are you here? What

58
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 5>the fuck are you doing? Like, but I take that

59
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.000
<v Speaker 5>week and that's my only rest. Everything else the rest

60
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 5>of us is like.

61
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Go go go.

62
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so my plan, I had a plan.

63
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 3>It didn't really quite work out because we are we

64
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 3>are kind of on the on the over over the

65
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 3>hump of the Halloween week at the time of this taping.

66
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 3>Halloween is tomorrow, so it's like we're kind of in

67
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 3>that in between.

68
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 1>Like Halloween. I know, Halloween weekend happened.

69
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 3>Now, I'm kind of focused on the stressful time that

70
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 3>is election week. But I was hoping to film with

71
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.199
<v Speaker 3>Victory yesterday so that we could talk about that today.

72
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 1>But it didn't work out, which is okay. Yeah, what happened.

73
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 5>I had I had an overnight and I got home

74
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 5>and like I texted him at like six thirty and

75
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 5>I still had not slept, and I was like, do

76
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 5>I really want to fuck this person?

77
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 4>I really want.

78
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 2>To fuck you know, you're filming it too.

79
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 5>And like, it's so different when you go from like

80
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 5>a paid I was selling you in the car. It's

81
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 5>so different when you go from a paid situation where

82
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 5>I am performing and like I'm completely dissociated my pussy.

83
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 5>It's like shaking my hands, Like if I don't assign

84
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 5>it value, it literally doesn't feel like anything to me.

85
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 5>So to go from that to like wanting super pleasure

86
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 5>with like somebody I actually have a crush on and

87
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 5>like I actually care about, I was like, this is

88
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.199
<v Speaker 5>just gonna waste my time, wasting her time, And I

89
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 5>waited like ten years, I can.

90
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:26.160
<v Speaker 4>Wait more week.

91
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean that is true.

92
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 3>And just to give a little bit of background, Victor

93
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 3>and I met in San Francisco about ten years ago

94
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 3>and when we were both living there, and this was

95
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 3>when I was very early in my career in adult

96
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 3>films and mister Pam who has been on the show,

97
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 3>who at the time was lee director of Naked Sword Studios.

98
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 3>She reached out to me and she actually kind of

99
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.120
<v Speaker 3>pitched this idea. She was like, hey, so, like, we

100
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 3>love working with you, we love that you've been kind

101
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 3>of part of the family. We have this idea. You

102
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 3>remember Victor Victor Belmont and I was like, yeah, we

103
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 3>just met actually, and she was like, what do you

104
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 3>think of filming a scene for naked Swords with Victor?

105
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 3>And I will be honest, I personally at that time

106
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 3>was like not ready. I was just like not ready

107
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.360
<v Speaker 3>to make that plunge because I I had never had

108
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 3>experience with the transman before. I was certainly fascinated by

109
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.560
<v Speaker 3>the idea, and I declined and like, I feel like

110
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 3>it took getting to know you. It took me kind

111
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 3>of coming into my own you know, you have to

112
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 3>sort of evolve, you have to be open, you know

113
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 3>too new experiences. We've talked about this on the show

114
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.439
<v Speaker 3>a lot, as somebody who recently has delved into pussy

115
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 3>on his own terms, which you know we're going to

116
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 3>get into two.

117
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 4>Once you're there, you can't leave.

118
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, you know, it's.

119
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 2>A reunion.

120
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 1>It's right, that's right, that's right.

121
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, so second coming.

122
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, So I have kind of like over time

123
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 3>evolved my own tastes and then you and I have

124
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:56.920
<v Speaker 3>gotten to know each other a little better over the

125

<v Speaker 5>We can be cute, we can ki key at the function,

135
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.480

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know what I mean.

145
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.800

00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 5>how I come off, sometimes people do get it twisted.

147

<v Speaker 5>So they come they come at me in a certain way,

148
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:53.959
<v Speaker 5>and I'm like, well, I'm a little bit.

149

<v Speaker 1>You know.

150
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.839
<v Speaker 5>It's like I'm patient because I want to eat what

154
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.279
<v Speaker 2>if you guys had filmed when you're tired and not

155
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.240
<v Speaker 2>really yeah no, absolutely you're and like it could make

156
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:11.199
<v Speaker 2>you not want to do it.

157
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.720
<v Speaker 4>Again, and that's not right.

158
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 3>And you know, things happen as they should, and I mean,

159
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 3>I just have so many questions as well. I feel

160
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:20.360
<v Speaker 3>like this is a good opportunity to just get to

161
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 3>know you a little better, you know, just like what

162
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.279
<v Speaker 3>your journey's been like, you know, just as a person

163
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>coming into their own transness and then as like a

164
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:28.279
<v Speaker 3>sex worker.

165
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I see you kind of.

166
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 3>As like the foremost you know, pinnacle figure of the

167
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 3>trans mail sex worker slash porn community. Tell us about

168
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.399
<v Speaker 3>how that's all kind of developed for you, however you

169
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 3>want to tell that story.

170
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:48.040
<v Speaker 4>I think that how how i'm that is just time.

171
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.959
<v Speaker 5>I don't think that I'm necessarily like a better content

172
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.560
<v Speaker 5>creator or like a better artist than any other trans man.

173
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.879
<v Speaker 5>But I started posting photos of myself in two thousand

174
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.759
<v Speaker 5>and eight, and I started plat so in two thousand

175
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 5>and eight was MySpace.

176
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then my space yeah.

177
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:12.680
<v Speaker 5>So two thousand and I was I did camming because

178
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 5>as a transmit there was no place to do sex work.

179
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.600
<v Speaker 5>You could not sign up for a gay male website

180
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 5>and perform because your ide. You could not go onto

181
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 5>a women's website because you don't look like that. So

182
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:32.759
<v Speaker 5>there literally was nothing except like maybe Chatterbait and a

183
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 5>couple other communities. And I started posting photos as advertising

184
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.000
<v Speaker 5>to get people to come to my cam show. Right,

185
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 5>we all know how to We're like, And I was like,

186
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to create this personality and I'm going to

187
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.759
<v Speaker 5>perform as this personality, and I'm going to take photos

188
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.799
<v Speaker 5>as this personality, and I'm going to think how people

189
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 5>are perceiving me, and I'm going to promote that, and

190
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 5>that is how I'm going to make money.

191
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 4>And that was like very early on.

192
00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 2>And how did you find people perceived you?

193
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.600
<v Speaker 5>Well, you want to become the thing that people need.

194
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.759
<v Speaker 5>So for me, my initial question was what do people

195
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 5>need me to be? And if you look at it

196
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.440
<v Speaker 5>on an individual basis, I don't need ten dollars from

197
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.639
<v Speaker 5>five thousand people. I need five thousand dollars from ten people. Ooh,

198
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean. So I've always done my

199
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:22.639
<v Speaker 5>business that way.

200
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:24.720
<v Speaker 4>So a lot of the people I talked to about

201
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:25.600
<v Speaker 4>high ticket items.

202
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.440
<v Speaker 5>A lot of the people I talked to on camshows,

203
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:28.919
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't have a lot, but I'd talk to them

204
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.159
<v Speaker 5>every day, you know, I'd care. I'd ask them, Hey,

205
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.399
<v Speaker 5>what do you like what? Blah blah blah, And you

206
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 5>get to know somebody and you become invaluable to them.

207
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 5>That is how you create a community. That's how you

208
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 5>create connections, and that's how you get better taken care of,

209
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, Like I think that it started in two

210
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:48.159
<v Speaker 5>thousand and eight.

211
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:49.200
<v Speaker 4>Then there was Tumblr.

212
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:53.480
<v Speaker 5>Tumblr was where I become super famous because I'm a photographer,

213
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 5>so images and gifts and for anybody who's watching Tumblr

214
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 5>was like the porn renaissance. Like sure more art came

215
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:10.120
<v Speaker 5>out of Tumbler, Like I feel erotic art. Yeah, Like

216
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.279
<v Speaker 5>it was just a fucking explosion. It was like everyone

217
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.360
<v Speaker 5>was making stuff. It was so beautiful and instead of

218
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.600
<v Speaker 5>trying to make art and be seen, you know on

219
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 5>pornhub or whatever. No shape to porn hub, but nobody's

220
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 5>looking for art on those websites. The community was looking

221
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.519
<v Speaker 5>for that. So you were within a community that was

222
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.360
<v Speaker 5>supporting your art. It was like and it was because

223
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 5>of the medium of photos. That's how I became really popular,

224
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:41.399
<v Speaker 5>and it's because I had more expensive photos, because I

225
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 5>had a nicer camera. And the whole reason I got

226
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.240
<v Speaker 5>that camera was because I just was like, if you

227
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 5>want to look expensive, you're gonna have to shoot on

228
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 5>something expensive. That was just like when I was nineteen twenty.

229
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.799
<v Speaker 5>I immediately was like, you need to get a nicer camera,

230
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 5>and you need to make yourself. It's like people are like, well,

231
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 5>there's no representation. We don't see trans men. It's like, okay,

232
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.279
<v Speaker 5>well you keep asking the people who have not put

233
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 5>us on the whole time to put you on. They're

234
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 5>not gonna take photos of you. They're not gonna take

235
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.879
<v Speaker 5>videos of you. Nobody, nobody's gonna do it. You have

236
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 5>to do it. And I got so frustrated because I

237
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:25.159
<v Speaker 5>applied to munch of porn companies as a trans man.

238
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.200
<v Speaker 5>I had been a canboy. I had been so frustrated

239
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.360
<v Speaker 5>that I was just like, fuck this, I'm getting a

240
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 5>nice camera. I'm gonna make myself look good.

241
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:34.559
<v Speaker 1>You know.

242
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.120
<v Speaker 5>I was trying to get in with so many people

243
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:37.639
<v Speaker 5>who had the equipment, and I was like, you know

244
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.080
<v Speaker 5>what if the only thing that's stopping me is the equipment.

245
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:43.600
<v Speaker 4>Like figure it out.

246
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 5>And then that's when I blew up is I got

247
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 5>the nice camera and people really responded. And I had

248
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 5>just moved to San Francisco in my car, and I

249
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 5>was like living in the park, as many transient trans

250
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 5>people do, is so don't feel bad about that hour

251
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.039
<v Speaker 5>of your life because it's very short and you're going

252
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 5>to get out of it. So just like put your

253
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 5>head down and figure it out, right, Yeah, Like.

254
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Buy a nice camera, buy it.

255
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.759
<v Speaker 5>Buy a nice camera, go to twenty four hour fitness,

256
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 5>get a gym membership, take a shower every day, make

257
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.399
<v Speaker 5>a two month plan, get yourself the fuck out of there,

258
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 5>Like you will figure it out. I had to figure out.

259
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.320
<v Speaker 5>And I was living in the park and working at

260
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.799
<v Speaker 5>the hat shop. I was working in Gorn Brothers on

261
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.159
<v Speaker 5>Hate and there was this place called the Sex Exchange

262
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:29.480
<v Speaker 5>and it was right next to a gay bar and

263
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 5>the sex Exchange was all used electronics and I had

264
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.080
<v Speaker 5>I walked past like every fucking morning coming from the park.

265
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.759
<v Speaker 5>I saw a Canon DSLR and it was like four

266
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.240
<v Speaker 5>hundred dollars and I just saw it for like two months.

267
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:44.840
<v Speaker 4>I saw it and I was like, I have to

268
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:45.600
<v Speaker 4>buy this camera.

269
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:46.639
<v Speaker 1>That's gonna be mine.

270
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.039
<v Speaker 5>That's going to be and I was like, my life

271
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:49.679
<v Speaker 5>is going to start when I buy this kit. I

272
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:52.519
<v Speaker 5>just remember walking past it being like I had slept

273
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 5>in the park, taken the shower at twenty four hour

274
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.519
<v Speaker 5>fitness on Vannas, gone to work and it would be

275
00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:59.519
<v Speaker 5>like I'd be walking to work. I had no money

276
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.440
<v Speaker 5>for food. There were some days where I went like

277
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.000
<v Speaker 5>two three days without eating, have to seal stuff from

278
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.759
<v Speaker 5>Whole Foods or the fucking I felt so bad from

279
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 5>the co op down the street, but like, you know,

280
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:10.679
<v Speaker 5>like I had to figure out how to eat. I

281
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:12.480
<v Speaker 5>was in the struggle, but I was just like I

282
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:15.480
<v Speaker 5>couldn't think about anything else. I wasn't even thinking about

283
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.639
<v Speaker 5>being in a struggle. I just remember being at work

284
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.720
<v Speaker 5>all the time being like, how the fuck am I

285
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:20.600
<v Speaker 5>gonna buy this camera?

286
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, have you always been like that?

287
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Like, I mean, it's everything I'm hearing you talk about

288
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.440
<v Speaker 3>is like, even at an early age, this blend of

289
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:32.480
<v Speaker 3>like art and commerce and eroticism as well as a

290
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:36.120
<v Speaker 3>very very unique perspective that wasn't really in the mainstream

291
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 3>at that time.

292
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Being a trans man.

293
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.879
<v Speaker 3>At nineteen, you knew like every time we've spoken, you

294
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.200
<v Speaker 3>display this confidence of like I know what I want,

295
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.039
<v Speaker 3>I know I'm gonna go after it. Is that something

296
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.279
<v Speaker 3>you had to develop or is that like has that

297
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:49.679
<v Speaker 3>always been You're just like.

298

<v Speaker 5>I've and I'm I'm so lucky. I've always been that way.

299
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:54.960
<v Speaker 5>I've always been since I was a kid, I've always

300
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.120
<v Speaker 5>been very I take a really long time to make

301
00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 5>a decision. But once I had made my decision, it

302
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.600
<v Speaker 5>is made and move. Wow, you know, move like I

303
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.039
<v Speaker 5>will take years and years and years and years to decide.

304
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:09.080
<v Speaker 2>But what is that to keep yourself from making the

305
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:10.399
<v Speaker 2>wrong decision or.

306
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:14.759
<v Speaker 5>Just do you like I think some people have the

307
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:20.240
<v Speaker 5>ability to I'm a channel. It is not me, like

308
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 5>like my power is not me. I'm just a really

309
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 5>good receptor for it. And I feel like I get

310
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.399
<v Speaker 5>these inspirations that like strike me, like the camera, Like

311
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:33.799
<v Speaker 5>I didn't have a fucking place to live. Why was

312
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.320
<v Speaker 5>I thinking I wasn't eating? Why was I thinking about

313
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.240
<v Speaker 5>buying a fucking camera. That's so irrational, that is so

314
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:40.720
<v Speaker 5>not you.

315
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:41.559
<v Speaker 4>Should not do that.

316
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:44.039
<v Speaker 5>But it was like this channel told me, if you

317
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.039
<v Speaker 5>don't get this camera and you don't do this thing,

318
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.080
<v Speaker 5>you've got to figure it out, You're like you have

319
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:49.639
<v Speaker 5>you would just have to think about that.

320
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but the getting the camera was a means to

321
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:55.519
<v Speaker 2>not having to worry about the things that you were

322
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm worried about at the time.

323
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm still worried about those I'm gonna hear.

324
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 2>We're always going to be worried about those things.

325
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.519
<v Speaker 5>Porn has never paid for my life. Okay, Ever, transmen

326
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.919
<v Speaker 5>do not get money. Let's change that. If this makes

327
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.559
<v Speaker 5>you feel upset, change it. You know, if you think

328
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm wrong, prove me otherwise.

329
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

330
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.840
<v Speaker 3>So then let's go back around that time that like,

331
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:23.759
<v Speaker 3>were you working with Naked Stored a lot?

332
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.399
<v Speaker 1>Were you surprised to be working for them?

333
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:25.679
<v Speaker 2>With that?

334
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.919
<v Speaker 5>I've maybe had like two or three studio shoots in

335
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:29.639
<v Speaker 5>my whole career.

336
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:31.960
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I'm not booked.

337
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Right, So that's why you're creating your own and you

338
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 3>always have been.

339
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that does been good experiences? Or did you not

340
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:43.879
<v Speaker 2>like it? Right?

341
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:46.399
<v Speaker 1>We get similar responses from everybody like this.

342
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, here's the deal.

343
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.639
<v Speaker 5>All the studios that I've shot for have been really

344
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.360
<v Speaker 5>good to me, and I think that part of the

345
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.080
<v Speaker 5>reason I'm going to preface this part of the reason

346
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:01.639
<v Speaker 5>is I'm an escort who does porn. I'm not a

347
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.159
<v Speaker 5>porn star who started escorting, which for the porn starts

348
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:08.799
<v Speaker 5>who are starting to escort, those boundaries you learn.

349
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Not in porn.

350
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.720
<v Speaker 5>You learn those boundaries when there's a client acting fucking crazy.

351
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:16.279
<v Speaker 1>You learned that.

352
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know that I am not a good whoror.

353
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Is that true?

354
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:22.440
<v Speaker 2>That is true?

355
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:23.480
<v Speaker 1>What makes you say that.

356
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:30.679
<v Speaker 2>I have to My boundaries are real icye, No, not lose.

357
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:35.440
<v Speaker 2>I get I even just like talking. I can't seal

358
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:38.000
<v Speaker 2>the deal because if someone gives me a weird anything weird,

359
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:38.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm like.

360
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.279
<v Speaker 3>No, Yeah, but I imagine Victor, you're kind of like

361
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.759
<v Speaker 3>that too. I feel like you've developed very much a

362
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:45.759
<v Speaker 3>strong sense of what you want and what you will

363
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:47.159
<v Speaker 3>tolerate and what you won't tolerate.

364
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Does that take away from business? I don't imagine.

365
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:50.759
<v Speaker 2>No.

366
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:51.799
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's your.

367
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.320
<v Speaker 5>Draw, that is totally my draw. And I think that

368
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:58.480
<v Speaker 5>the way that I talk to people is like I've

369
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.639
<v Speaker 5>taken care of kids before, or I've you know, been

370
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.599
<v Speaker 5>a sister. And I think the approach of being really

371
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:10.000
<v Speaker 5>hyper masculine in talking to men doesn't really work. I

372
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:14.240
<v Speaker 5>think you need to talk to them like they're You're like,

373
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.599
<v Speaker 5>for me, I'm very like hey baby, like hey baby,

374
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.400
<v Speaker 5>I can't do that. I'm sorry baby, you know I

375
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:22.880
<v Speaker 5>very much. So like my domming, you have to earn

376
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.759
<v Speaker 5>me being mean. You kind of have to like earn

377
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 5>me shutting you down because I know that people want that, right,

378
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:30.759
<v Speaker 5>so they come at me really hard, like people come

379
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:32.599
<v Speaker 5>at me really hard because they want to get punished

380
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:33.039
<v Speaker 5>for free.

381
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:34.880
<v Speaker 4>And if I'm just.

382
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:40.880
<v Speaker 5>Like no, baby, no, I can't do that, I want

383
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:43.680
<v Speaker 5>to poppy like baby, I want, I want. I want

384
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 5>to give you that buy. I need money, you know,

385
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:50.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, and that draws you in and then you're like, okay,

386
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.640
<v Speaker 5>well I have this much, and I'm like okay, well

387
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.160
<v Speaker 5>what do you want baby? I'm seeking this and this

388
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.240
<v Speaker 5>and this, okay baby.

389
00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:58.319
<v Speaker 4>And then once.

390
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:03.720
<v Speaker 5>That happens, I've softly handled the interaction with softness, so

391
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:06.799
<v Speaker 5>then I can lead with hardness safely, because if I

392
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:09.279
<v Speaker 5>lead with hardness and kink, then I'm going to get

393
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.960
<v Speaker 5>that same exact energy back and I'm gonna have to fight,

394
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:13.680
<v Speaker 5>and I just don't like doing that.

395
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.599
<v Speaker 3>Does the dom daddy side always particularly include an element

396
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:20.960
<v Speaker 3>of humiliation and punishment or is there do you like

397
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 3>are you firm with a soft hand sometimes?

398
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:27.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, so I have like two domb personalities. They're actually

399
00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:31.279
<v Speaker 5>very clear for me and I wear different outfits, so

400
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:38.960
<v Speaker 5>they are very actually very clear. Humiliation and shame and punishment.

401
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:46.000
<v Speaker 5>All those things are about control and generally about somebody

402
00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:47.920
<v Speaker 5>who wants to be controlled.

403
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.640
<v Speaker 4>So that is the power dom.

404
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.400
<v Speaker 5>We're talking about a power dom and anything that relates

405
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:58.799
<v Speaker 5>into power, humiliation, cooking sissy stuff, wanting to dominate me,

406
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:02.759
<v Speaker 5>you know, anything that goes into that power. You have power,

407
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:08.960
<v Speaker 5>and then you have subhead space. So subhead space is

408
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.359
<v Speaker 5>not power. If somebody's goal is to be in subhead space,

409
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.359
<v Speaker 5>it's not power. That's not impact play, that's not like

410
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.920
<v Speaker 5>power is all those things that are intense as to

411
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.200
<v Speaker 5>where if somebody is seeking to shut their brain off,

412
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.400
<v Speaker 5>or you're a good girl, you think too much. You

413
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.839
<v Speaker 5>need to put my dick in your mouth. You're thinking

414
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:31.240
<v Speaker 5>too much, daddy. I need to feel you inside of me.

415
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:34.880
<v Speaker 5>Look at me, kiss me, look at me. I need you.

416
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:41.839
<v Speaker 5>I'm still doming you right, but I'm very softly kind

417
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.599
<v Speaker 5>of you know, a soft domb, soft touch, even I

418
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.279
<v Speaker 5>recently did a scene where I'm spanking somebody and it

419
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.839
<v Speaker 5>gets fucking intense, like I'm fucking her up, and I

420
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:55.599
<v Speaker 5>just reach in my hand and I just hold her

421
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.119
<v Speaker 5>hand and I'm like, it's okay, it's.

422
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's how I like it.

423
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:04.519
<v Speaker 5>And she's like screaming, you know, she's screaming, and I'm

424
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:06.559
<v Speaker 5>just like, it's a But some people would hate that.

425
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.359
<v Speaker 4>Some people would be like, why are you fucking.

426
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:10.440
<v Speaker 5>Being like, ah, yeah, right.

427

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.720

00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:20.759
<v Speaker 3>origin story, of course, for your trans identity.

450
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Was that early? Was that always known? Did you have

00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:29.279
<v Speaker 3>to evolve into it? When did you start that journey?

452
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.240
<v Speaker 5>My story is a little different than other people's, Okay,

453
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:35.240
<v Speaker 5>I think every trans man's story is a little different.

454
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:39.160
<v Speaker 5>I think mine is unique because I fully, like thought

455
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:42.039
<v Speaker 5>that I was a woman for like seventeen or more

456
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:46.799
<v Speaker 5>like thirteen years, Like I fully enjoyed womanhood in the

457
00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:50.640
<v Speaker 5>way where I didn't feel a lot of dysphoria. I

458
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:54.599
<v Speaker 5>didn't feel a lot of like this is wrong until

459
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.519
<v Speaker 5>I hit puberty, which I do know. I know a

460
00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:59.680
<v Speaker 5>chunk of transmen where this is true. They love their

461
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.279
<v Speaker 5>exist since in that like it wasn't for me. I

462
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.039
<v Speaker 5>was kind of taking care of myself. I didn't really

463
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.079
<v Speaker 5>have a lot of expectations on me because I was

464
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.400
<v Speaker 5>taking care of myself. So I was kind of introverted.

465
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:12.960
<v Speaker 5>I didn't really have I was grew up in a

466
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:14.880
<v Speaker 5>small town. I didn't really have to deal with people.

467
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:17.000
<v Speaker 5>I got to play outside in the woods, you know,

468
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:18.200
<v Speaker 5>Like that was great.

469
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Where did you grow up?

470
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.920
<v Speaker 5>Southern organ Okay, so kind of near like Medford area,

471
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.079
<v Speaker 5>gotcha beautiful. Where I grew up is one of the

472
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 5>most beautiful places in the world.

473
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:29.680
<v Speaker 4>The people.

474
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:35.680
<v Speaker 5>The Southern Orgon is great. The people there are you know,

475
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:37.960
<v Speaker 5>the winters make you hard and tough. There's not a

476
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.440
<v Speaker 5>lot of room for softness. And I think that if

477
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.599
<v Speaker 5>you're a city person that can come off as rude,

478
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 5>but like you literally will die, you know, like if

479
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.799
<v Speaker 5>you're too nice and not taking care of yourself where

480
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:48.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm from, you.

481
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:50.680
<v Speaker 4>The cold will kill you in a real way.

482
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:52.799
<v Speaker 5>You don't have your bills paid, Like, the cold will

483
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:55.240
<v Speaker 5>fucking right, So you got to act different.

484
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:56.799
<v Speaker 1>So then you hit puberty.

485
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.599
<v Speaker 5>And I hit puberty, and then, like I think, for me,

486
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:07.039
<v Speaker 5>it was so obvious that I was performing womanhood. Like

487
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:10.359
<v Speaker 5>once I hit puberty, it was so obvious that I

488
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:14.240
<v Speaker 5>was like, Okay, I need to be this way to

489
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.119
<v Speaker 5>be socially acceptable. I was like perceiving what was going

490
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:19.839
<v Speaker 5>on but I was like, the further it went and

491
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:21.759
<v Speaker 5>the more I looked like a girl, because I got

492
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.240
<v Speaker 5>bodied super early, by like twelve thirteen, full titties, full hips,

493
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:29.000
<v Speaker 5>looked like a girl, full grown woman. That also is

494
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:32.359
<v Speaker 5>really a lot when you're young, to like go from

495
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 5>in like six months to go from like looking to

496
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:36.880
<v Speaker 5>a kid to looking like a grown woman.

497
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:38.400
<v Speaker 1>That was a lot. Wow.

498
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:42.920
<v Speaker 5>And that was when I was like, I don't think

499
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:45.960
<v Speaker 5>this is it. Wow, Like I don't think.

500
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Did you get attention? Like did you start saying a

501
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of attention?

502
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:53.960
<v Speaker 5>And I had never gotten male attention before in my life.

503
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:55.680
<v Speaker 1>They're all a bunch of gays.

504
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:01.799
<v Speaker 5>Well, and it was just it was confusing to me

505
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:05.400
<v Speaker 5>too because I was also very sexually attracted to gay men.

506
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:09.960
<v Speaker 5>So that was also confusing because I'm like, well, I'm

507
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:13.160
<v Speaker 5>I was lesbian identified, okay, but I would like jerk

508
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:15.559
<v Speaker 5>off reading yawi and gay porn.

509
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Lesbian identified from the time you were like.

510
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.119
<v Speaker 5>Oh, when I was a kid, I always knew I

511
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.240
<v Speaker 5>was gay, like not necessarily lesbian, but and I use

512
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:28.559
<v Speaker 5>lesbian because it was like the easiest term for me

513
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:30.400
<v Speaker 5>and it was the easiest thing to fit it to

514
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.319
<v Speaker 5>that time. I was like, well, I feel like a

515
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:39.359
<v Speaker 5>butcher girl. Oh yeah, I'm super by. I like fucking

516
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:43.799
<v Speaker 5>men and I love fucking women, but men, there's gay sex.

517
00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:51.160
<v Speaker 5>There's a certain dynamic that happens where I love fucking women,

518
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:56.599
<v Speaker 5>but like, gay sex is just so different, and I

519
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:59.079
<v Speaker 5>want that a lot, and I want sex with women.

520
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:00.759
<v Speaker 5>But I would say, like, and I'm going to jerk

521
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.519
<v Speaker 5>off most of the time unless I really like you,

522
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.559
<v Speaker 5>I'm looking at gay porn. Wow, you know, actually I

523
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:09.200
<v Speaker 5>don't even look at porn when I jerk off.

524
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:11.599
<v Speaker 2>All in your head, All what an imagination?

525
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't need it? Or are you just looking at yourself?

526
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.839
<v Speaker 5>No, I think about who I want to fuck. I'm

527
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:20.000
<v Speaker 5>very emotional. Yeah, I'm very emotional.

528
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:20.359
<v Speaker 4>You know.

529
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:22.400
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, I don't have to come every day to

530
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:26.240
<v Speaker 5>you know. Yeah, well I'm lazy, so.

531
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Does that for work?

532
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:29.880
<v Speaker 4>But yeah.

533
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:32.480
<v Speaker 5>I was lesbian identified for a while and then I

534
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:33.599
<v Speaker 5>knew that I was a boy.

535
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:34.519
<v Speaker 4>When I was.

536
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:40.880
<v Speaker 5>Thirteen, I did I did theater for planned parenthood. So

537
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:43.920
<v Speaker 5>my parents were like, we have no money. You have

538
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:46.119
<v Speaker 5>to be in every extra curricular ever so you can

539
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.839
<v Speaker 5>get into college for free. Great plan. So I was

540
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:53.480
<v Speaker 5>in sports martial arts, a bunch of different shit, And

541
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.359
<v Speaker 5>I was in Planned parents Hoods teen Theater because it

542
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.559
<v Speaker 5>was like where I was from was the only thing

543
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:05.920
<v Speaker 5>between certain hours where my mom had work. So it

544
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:09.279
<v Speaker 5>wasn't even like a progressive thing. It was like my

545
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:11.480
<v Speaker 5>mom had work and needed me to be somewhere, and

546
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:13.359
<v Speaker 5>my sister had a job because she was older than me,

547
00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:14.880
<v Speaker 5>and my mom's like, you need someplace to.

548
00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:17.799
<v Speaker 2>Be, so somebody.

549
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:17.240
<v Speaker 4>Has to watch you.

550
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:21.559
<v Speaker 5>And there's no sex education in southern Oregon none. So

551
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.599
<v Speaker 5>Planned Parenthood's teen Theater would go around and we'd perform

552
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:28.039
<v Speaker 5>in high schools and teens were allowed to come watch

553
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 5>our forty five minute performance of skits and songs about sex.

554
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow.

555
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:38.799
<v Speaker 5>And so I did this really cool, like fucking random

556
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:42.880
<v Speaker 5>ass queer thing. But I played musical instruments and I

557
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 5>did all the music. So the reason that I got

558
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:47.240
<v Speaker 5>in was not because of my acting ability. I had

559
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:49.119
<v Speaker 5>to take a bus like an hour to this fancy

560
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:50.960
<v Speaker 5>place to do it. Like the other kids were like

561
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.400
<v Speaker 5>art kids, and I was like from jabom fuck nowhere.

562
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:57.119
<v Speaker 5>But I played guitar, so I did all the songs,

563
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:00.160
<v Speaker 5>and I was the lesbian who played guitar. So I

564
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:07.119
<v Speaker 5>was the diversity of yeah and oh I was I

565
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:09.759
<v Speaker 5>was so and I was so lesbian coded I did

566
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:11.400
<v Speaker 5>the full bang like I was.

567
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:12.720
<v Speaker 4>I committed to it.

568
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:17.759
<v Speaker 5>But when I was thirteen, we had a conference and

569
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:20.359
<v Speaker 5>my parents almost didn't let me go. But we went

570
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:22.640
<v Speaker 5>up to Portland and all these kids from all the

571
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.079
<v Speaker 5>planned parenthoods all across the country who did teen theater

572
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:31.359
<v Speaker 5>were all at this conference talking about teens empowering sexual health.

573
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:34.759
<v Speaker 5>It was dope as fuck. It was the first time

574
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.000
<v Speaker 5>I had been around gay people like that. It was

575
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:41.240
<v Speaker 5>the first time I had been around queer people. I

576
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:43.359
<v Speaker 5>was a little kid from nowhere and there was this

577
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:45.960
<v Speaker 5>girl and we all had name Tax and we all

578
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.599
<v Speaker 5>had to pick up our name Tax. And there was

579
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:50.319
<v Speaker 5>this girl in from me who I thought was super

580
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:52.039
<v Speaker 5>cute and I was like, oh my gosh, she's so

581
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.799
<v Speaker 5>cute and obviously queer girl. And she goes in front

582
00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:59.400
<v Speaker 5>of me and she kind of lingers at the table

583
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:01.359
<v Speaker 5>and I I say my name and they're like, oh,

584
00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:05.039
<v Speaker 5>we don't have that name. They had the boy version

585
00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:09.240
<v Speaker 5>of my name on a card. So the whole weekend

586
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:10.680
<v Speaker 5>I had to wear a boy's name.

587
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Wait, it wasn't a name tag that you wrote your

588
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:14.640
<v Speaker 2>name on. It was a name tag that was.

589
00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:20.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because they had to confirm because it was miners

590
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:23.160
<v Speaker 5>in the building. They had to confirm every adult and

591
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.279
<v Speaker 5>every miner who went into the so you had to

592
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:29.480
<v Speaker 5>be like, I'm the teenager, like here's my thing. And

593
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:31.640
<v Speaker 5>I picked it up and I was like, oh, this

594
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:32.880
<v Speaker 5>is a boy's name, Like I.

595
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Can't you know.

596
00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:37.160
<v Speaker 5>And the girl was like right next to me and

597
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:39.559
<v Speaker 5>she's like, I like it better think it suits you.

598
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:46.440
<v Speaker 5>And it was like face crack of the century. And

599
00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:49.720
<v Speaker 5>then the whole weekend she called me that, and that

600
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:53.559
<v Speaker 5>fucked with my head for like ever because I was

601
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:56.799
<v Speaker 5>like wait, and then everyone around me was like, yeah,

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:10.000
<v Speaker 5>existed until I was sixteen, so I was just like

607
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:13.400
<v Speaker 5>left at thirteen, just kind of like you know, I guess.

608
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:15.559
<v Speaker 5>And then I met my first trans man at nineteen,

609
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:18.119
<v Speaker 5>and I immediately met him and I.

610
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:21.000
<v Speaker 4>Was like, what do I have to do to look

611
00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:21.279
<v Speaker 4>like you?

612
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Wow?

613
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:24.680
<v Speaker 5>I just asked him. A girl I was dating again.

614
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:27.759
<v Speaker 5>She was a stripper in Portland and she was a dancer,

615
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:30.440
<v Speaker 5>and I was her like little boy on the side,

616
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:32.160
<v Speaker 5>and I would like pick her up in my car

617
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:34.359
<v Speaker 5>and take her to sushi because she didn't have a car,

618
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.759
<v Speaker 5>but she'd pay for everything, so like I'd drive her

619
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:40.680
<v Speaker 5>around and she had a boyfriend and like we wouldn't fuck,

620
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:47.119
<v Speaker 5>but like sometimes, Yeah, one day she was like, I

621
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:47.960
<v Speaker 5>think you need to go to.

622
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:48.920
<v Speaker 4>This bar called the E Room.

623
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:51.759
<v Speaker 5>I don't know for those who are old, the EE

624
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:53.920
<v Speaker 5>Room was the Escape Room, which was one of the

625
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:56.920
<v Speaker 5>only lesbian bars in Portland off of like one hundred

626
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:00.079
<v Speaker 5>and ninety seconds something. Yeah, and she was like, go

627
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.240
<v Speaker 5>to this bar. I had a fake idea. I used

628
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:05.359
<v Speaker 5>my sister's ID. She's like, go to this bar and

629
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:09.119
<v Speaker 5>look for this type of person. Don't speak like this.

630
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:12.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm not approving anybody to fucking.

631
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Speak like this is like a reflection of the time.

632
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:17.559
<v Speaker 5>Look at where the bull dykes or somebody who has

633
00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:21.000
<v Speaker 5>like facial hair is. Look for somebody real fucking butch

634
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:23.680
<v Speaker 5>and talk to them. I think you need to talk

635
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:25.720
<v Speaker 5>to them. Because I was like, hang around a lot

636
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:29.240
<v Speaker 5>of fems. I was I've always been the punk community

637
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:32.359
<v Speaker 5>more than the queer community in that time period, where

638
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:35.240
<v Speaker 5>like activism and like food not bombs and fucking the

639
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:38.039
<v Speaker 5>patriarch and all that was more important to me. But

640
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:40.279
<v Speaker 5>I went to the room and I saw this man

641
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:44.440
<v Speaker 5>was fucking man. We went alone, but I walk in

642
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.039
<v Speaker 5>and he's like big buff, you know, two hundred pounds

643
00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:53.200
<v Speaker 5>of five ten, big dude. And I'm like, I don't

644
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:55.160
<v Speaker 5>know what this dude is doing here, but I'm gonna

645
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:58.240
<v Speaker 5>talk to him. Maybe he knows what's up. And I

646
00:30:58.279 --> 00:30:59.759
<v Speaker 5>walk up to him and he just you know, if

647
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:03.079
<v Speaker 5>you're transman and you see like somebody who's not out

648
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:05.720
<v Speaker 5>yet coming up to you with that look, you're like, oh,

649
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:07.279
<v Speaker 5>I know exactly.

650
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:08.960
<v Speaker 4>What you're going to talk to me about.

651
00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:10.839
<v Speaker 5>And I came up to him and I was like, Hi,

652
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Speaker 5>my name's all Law and he talked to me for

653
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:14.359
<v Speaker 5>a second. I just looked at him and I was like,

654
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:17.400
<v Speaker 5>how do I look like you? And he said, well,

655
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:23.440
<v Speaker 5>you order steroids from Mexico and you inject them. And

656
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:27.000
<v Speaker 5>he was talking about testosterone, right of course, and so

657
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.759
<v Speaker 5>I bought testosterone off of the website the geos the

658
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:35.640
<v Speaker 5>Geo Cities website, Angelo Cities Geociti's Angel Cities School and

659
00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:38.119
<v Speaker 5>I had no idea how much to take because there

660
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:39.319
<v Speaker 5>was no information on it.

661
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:40.839
<v Speaker 1>So I just.

662
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.039
<v Speaker 5>Played getting picky and I was like nineteen. And that

663
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.440
<v Speaker 5>is the big marks of my transition where I was

664
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:51.759
<v Speaker 5>like I committed to being like somebody calling me a

665
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:54.160
<v Speaker 5>boy a fucking with my head, and then like this

666
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:57.480
<v Speaker 5>girl that knew me really well, she's my homie and

667
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:00.519
<v Speaker 5>she's like, I think you need to like, wow, I

668
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:03.640
<v Speaker 5>think you need to investigate this and you're gonna be happier.

669
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.119
<v Speaker 1>So is that when it started to make sense totally?

670
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:08.559
<v Speaker 5>Well, I just came out. I met him and I

671
00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:10.680
<v Speaker 5>was like what I asked him? And then I was

672
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:14.240
<v Speaker 5>like do you do you have a pussy? You know,

673
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.839
<v Speaker 5>the most terrible question you can ask. And of course he's,

674
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:20.400
<v Speaker 5>you know, an elder, so he was so nice to

675
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:22.240
<v Speaker 5>me and he did not mean to be nice to me,

676
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.680
<v Speaker 5>but he was like, yeah, I was born a woman.

677
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.039
<v Speaker 5>I was born a woman, and I'm a man. My

678
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:32.440
<v Speaker 5>name is Gabriel, like, and he was from Nicaragua. His

679
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:37.039
<v Speaker 5>family was really accepting of him. And seeing his family

680
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:41.839
<v Speaker 5>like just not care was just like, I think that's

681
00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:44.640
<v Speaker 5>part of why I have the confidence. Is very young,

682
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:48.720
<v Speaker 5>I saw a very traditional, quote unquote family not give

683
00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:49.119
<v Speaker 5>a fuck.

684
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.400
<v Speaker 1>How's your family in comparison.

685
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:54.279
<v Speaker 5>I don't talk to my family. Oh okay, I don't

686
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:56.400
<v Speaker 5>talk to my family, fuck them, Okay, all right.

687
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

688
00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 5>I haven't talked to my extended family since I was fifteen, okay,

689
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:03.680
<v Speaker 5>And I haven't talked to my regular family in probably

690
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:06.960
<v Speaker 5>like seven years because they're not accepting. No, well, yeah,

691
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.079
<v Speaker 5>my my extended family. I'm I grew up Catholic, so

692
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:12.559
<v Speaker 5>my extended family absolutely fucking not.

693
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:13.839
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely not.

694
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:18.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And I think that like it's much easier to

695
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:20.799
<v Speaker 5>not deal with something than it has to deal with something.

696
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.200
<v Speaker 5>I feel like if we both probably like and a

697
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:25.000
<v Speaker 5>lot of families, I think this is good to talk

698
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:28.519
<v Speaker 5>about for trans people, but like, sometimes your family literally

699
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:30.680
<v Speaker 5>is so awkward. They don't know what the fuck to do,

700
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:34.400
<v Speaker 5>and they just pretend that you died, you know, like

701
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:37.599
<v Speaker 5>they might not say that you're dead, but it's like

702
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:41.319
<v Speaker 5>it's just easier for them to just be like asid, Well,

703
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:44.000
<v Speaker 5>this doesn't make sense in my perfect Catholic world, So

704
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:46.720
<v Speaker 5>I guess we're just never going to talk about it,

705
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:51.000
<v Speaker 5>and that's weird of shit, But I also understand where

706
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:53.680
<v Speaker 5>it's like if my existence is going to ruin your

707
00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:55.240
<v Speaker 5>whole entire concept of life.

708
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well religion doesn't. I mean a lot of religion

709
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:03.519
<v Speaker 2>like that doesn't focus on learning how to deal with

710
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:05.799
<v Speaker 2>right that aren't.

711
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.079
<v Speaker 5>My granddaddy was a deacon though, so it made me

712
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:10.400
<v Speaker 5>real good at talking.

713
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Wow, it all makes sense now. So then as part

714
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:19.840
<v Speaker 3>of this journey, how did the sex work started coming in?

715
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:22.519
<v Speaker 3>Is that something that also was just like a quick

716
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:23.639
<v Speaker 3>like this makes sense for me?

717
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:27.880
<v Speaker 5>Or people have always been sexually inappropriate with me, and

718
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:31.679
<v Speaker 5>I think inappropriate and inappropriate, wildly inappropriate. They've always come

719
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:35.119
<v Speaker 5>to seek to get punished. People have always come to

720
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:40.239
<v Speaker 5>me ever since I hit puberty to be punished. I

721
00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:43.320
<v Speaker 5>have a big personality. I take up a lot of space.

722
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:46.960
<v Speaker 3>And you carry yourself this way. I guess you were

723
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.320
<v Speaker 3>always a dom daddy yet level just how I am.

724
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:54.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't mean to and I don't hate having that power.

725
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:56.599
<v Speaker 3>I like having that power. It's not a bad thing

726
00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:59.639
<v Speaker 3>for me. But I very early on was like, you

727
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:02.719
<v Speaker 3>have to learn how to deal with this because like

728
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:06.440
<v Speaker 3>people are, and so I first started doing sex work

729
00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:09.960
<v Speaker 3>as a girl, kimming as a girl. I dommed as

730
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:14.199
<v Speaker 3>a mistress until I could not because that coin is

731
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:15.239
<v Speaker 3>too cute.

732
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:18.199
<v Speaker 5>I was like I could not. I was like, you're

733
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:20.800
<v Speaker 5>going to give up so much money by doing this.

734
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh wow, you're going to.

735
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:24.519
<v Speaker 5>Give up so much money by doing this. But I

736
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:28.960
<v Speaker 5>was like, I also cannot do this. And there was

737
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.000
<v Speaker 5>a point when I was living in San Francisco where

738
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:33.039
<v Speaker 5>it's like the point of no return with clients. You

739
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:35.679
<v Speaker 5>see clients for a long time and like you're doing

740
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:38.360
<v Speaker 5>sex work and you're in girl drag and you're like

741
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:41.519
<v Speaker 5>doing the girl drag and eventually they're like, so, uh,

742
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:44.000
<v Speaker 5>I think we might have to stop seeing each other

743
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:48.400
<v Speaker 5>because you're too passable, too passable as a dude. Where

744
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:51.039
<v Speaker 5>it's like all the straight clients that I had, the

745
00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:53.800
<v Speaker 5>straight men that I had, they were like, I can't eat,

746
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:55.239
<v Speaker 5>smell like man, you look.

747
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:55.400
<v Speaker 4>Like a man.

748
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I know.

749
00:35:56.400 --> 00:36:00.719
<v Speaker 5>It was actually really gender affirming, interesting, really generous for

750
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:02.360
<v Speaker 5>being to have dudes be like, yo, I'm straight, I

751
00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:06.719
<v Speaker 5>can transition or this was like a couple of years

752
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:09.880
<v Speaker 5>on hormones, Okay, I see, because hormones for me took

753
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:10.840
<v Speaker 5>a really long time.

754
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:12.320
<v Speaker 2>To heay, They're like, I guess the hormones.

755
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.679
<v Speaker 3>So you were on hormones but still doing girl drag

756
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:16.480
<v Speaker 3>for the job.

757
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I see, Oh yeah, I see.

758
00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:22.559
<v Speaker 5>Okay, because you have to coin in as much if

759
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:24.199
<v Speaker 5>you can mentally handle it. I know a lot of

760
00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:28.239
<v Speaker 5>guys that would be like such an unreasonable ass. I

761
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:31.039
<v Speaker 5>just literally viewed as a drag and I think maybe

762
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:33.159
<v Speaker 5>because I did theater and I was a performer, I

763
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:35.559
<v Speaker 5>was like, oh this, I'm just putting on a costume, right,

764
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:38.559
<v Speaker 5>and I'm a faggot, so like I'm like, girl, I

765
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:41.960
<v Speaker 5>can do. Give me drag a way, give me drag.

766
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:47.440
<v Speaker 5>But eventually that stopped, and then I had to figure

767
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:49.480
<v Speaker 5>out how to do sex work as a transman, which

768
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:51.440
<v Speaker 5>I feel like a lot of transmen are in that

769
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:56.679
<v Speaker 5>space right now. They're figuring out how do I make money?

770
00:36:56.920 --> 00:37:00.360
<v Speaker 5>How do I do this? It's different than gay boy is.

771
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:03.800
<v Speaker 5>It's different than straight boys. It's different than sis women,

772
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:08.000
<v Speaker 5>it's different than trans women. It is transmit escorting and

773
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:10.079
<v Speaker 5>sex work is just really unique.

774
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:12.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and you.

775
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:15.840
<v Speaker 5>Get a lot of different types of people. A lot

776
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:17.559
<v Speaker 5>of transmit are in this space of like how do

777
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:22.280
<v Speaker 5>I make myself equitable. How do I, you know, advertise myself?

778
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:24.639
<v Speaker 5>Those were the big questions maybe like five or six

779
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:32.880
<v Speaker 5>years ago. And now baby now, baby Now. I don't

780
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:36.079
<v Speaker 5>think I ever imagine this. How many of them? How

781
00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:39.239
<v Speaker 5>many of what transmen there are making porn?

782
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:41.840
<v Speaker 3>And yes, I mean and I want to kind of

783
00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:44.320
<v Speaker 3>bring it back to adult films as well, because you know,

784
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:46.000
<v Speaker 3>that's a big part of what we talk about.

785
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:46.559
<v Speaker 1>On this podcast.

786
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:49.559
<v Speaker 3>And you know, before I met you, a new of you,

787
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:53.400
<v Speaker 3>I think the only visibility that I experienced with that

788
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:54.280
<v Speaker 3>was Buck Angel.

789
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:54.920
<v Speaker 4>Oh totally.

790
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.000
<v Speaker 1>And I remember seeing the first porn you know who

791
00:37:58.000 --> 00:37:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Buck Angel is cool.

792
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.119
<v Speaker 3>Bucket Angel was like in the mid two thousands, the

793
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:08.559
<v Speaker 3>only transman, Yeah, because I remember I remember I remember

794
00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:11.400
<v Speaker 3>seeing this three way and it was like three muscle dudes.

795
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I is that what it's called?

796
00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:15.760
<v Speaker 3>I think so, yeah, because I remember, like it was

797
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:17.599
<v Speaker 3>my boyfriend at the time had shown it to me,

798
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:20.000
<v Speaker 3>and you know, they it was like a big reveal.

799
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:22.000
<v Speaker 3>It was like, you know, there's this three way and like,

800
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:23.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, one of them is this bald, bearded muscle

801
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:26.039
<v Speaker 3>dude and like you know, he's pulling out this dick

802
00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:29.840
<v Speaker 3>out of Oh, there we go. Buck Angel, Thank you, Tony. Yeah,

803
00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:32.239
<v Speaker 3>And I remember like there was like a whole reveal

804
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:34.159
<v Speaker 3>where he like kind of pulled the dildo out of

805
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:35.800
<v Speaker 3>his pants and the two.

806
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:37.119
<v Speaker 1>Guys were like, it's got a fucking pussy.

807
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:40.679
<v Speaker 3>But then they all fucked and I remember being like,

808
00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:44.280
<v Speaker 3>this is turning me on, Like I was really surprised

809
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:47.079
<v Speaker 3>by it, and I was almost like even in the

810
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:49.280
<v Speaker 3>mid two thousands, I was able to be like.

811
00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:52.679
<v Speaker 1>Fuck, yeah, the fact that this exists at all is

812
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:53.599
<v Speaker 1>so cool.

813
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:58.480
<v Speaker 3>But we never really heard about it again until at

814
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:01.000
<v Speaker 3>least from my perspective, when you and the scene.

815
00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:03.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so when I show for a Naked Sword, that

816
00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:07.639
<v Speaker 5>scene with Justin Brody was the first gay male porn.

817
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:08.199
<v Speaker 1>With Justin Brody.

818
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:11.599
<v Speaker 5>It's the first gay mail porn made with a transman

819
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:14.559
<v Speaker 5>since two thousand and four. And that was in twenty fourteen,

820
00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:16.719
<v Speaker 5>so it had taken gay porn ten years. I was

821
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:19.199
<v Speaker 5>the first trans guy who is the go goo in

822
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:23.559
<v Speaker 5>the castro On retainer. Yeah, and this was when you know,

823
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:28.159
<v Speaker 5>twenty fourteen, ten years ago, right, So it's just like

824
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:31.760
<v Speaker 5>the change that has happened in ten years, especially for

825
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:34.960
<v Speaker 5>somebody who's been doing it. I've been doing online sex

826
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:38.840
<v Speaker 5>works since I was nineteen, you know, like nineteen twenty nine.

827
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.079
<v Speaker 4>Like, I so crazy that there's so many.

828
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:44.159
<v Speaker 2>What do you think that is? In response to.

829
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, people want to see it? I think the thing that,

830
00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:50.159
<v Speaker 5>the thing that I always hear is like, we can't

831
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:52.320
<v Speaker 5>book transmen because it's not going to make us money.

832
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:54.760
<v Speaker 5>We can't book transmen because people don't want to see it.

833
00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:57.119
<v Speaker 5>Look in my dms.

834
00:39:57.320 --> 00:40:00.199
<v Speaker 1>There's such a look in my dms that is.

835
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:02.440
<v Speaker 2>So wrong.

836
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:07.400
<v Speaker 5>But I think because humans are pattern based, you have

837
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:08.480
<v Speaker 5>to spoon feed them.

838
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:09.280
<v Speaker 4>You have to.

839
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:12.840
<v Speaker 5>So it's like, Jake Bass. Do you know who Jake

840
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.800
<v Speaker 5>Bass is? I'm gonna go way back here, I think. So,

841
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:18.639
<v Speaker 5>can we pull up a photo of Jake Bass? I want,

842
00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:22.199
<v Speaker 5>I want to give you a real piece of my

843
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.280
<v Speaker 5>history right now so you can see how crazy this is.

844
00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:28.519
<v Speaker 5>So Jake Bass was a performer, right, He was like

845
00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:34.280
<v Speaker 5>one of the first twunk tattooed twunk performers in that category.

846
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:39.480
<v Speaker 5>He kind of created He's though, no he's not. But

847
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:41.960
<v Speaker 5>he was one of the first porn stars who started

848
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.760
<v Speaker 5>to curate a personality online.

849
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was not very nice to me.

850
00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:52.920
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure you know, I'm just but but what I

851
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:57.199
<v Speaker 5>saw him doing was he was creating a personality. It

852
00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.360
<v Speaker 5>was the first time I saw somebody creating I'd seen

853
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:02.760
<v Speaker 5>porn stars. I had never known porn stars who like,

854
00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:09.519
<v Speaker 5>we're starting to create brands, right, And so I was like.

855
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Like, where were they doing that? Like I feel like

856
00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:16.719
<v Speaker 2>until you had platforms like OnlyFans and stuff like my Space.

857
00:41:18.159 --> 00:41:20.840
<v Speaker 5>He was huge on my Oh my god, he was

858
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:25.360
<v Speaker 5>huge on MySpace. And what I saw is I was like, Okay,

859
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:28.599
<v Speaker 5>he takes photos with a nice camera. He does a

860
00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:31.320
<v Speaker 5>lot of nice camera photo shoots. He has a neck

861
00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:36.719
<v Speaker 5>and hand tattoo, and he looks a little sad no shade,

862
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:39.920
<v Speaker 5>but like James Dean quality about it, and there's something

863
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:42.679
<v Speaker 5>in his eyes. So I was like, if he's the

864
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:46.039
<v Speaker 5>number one porn star, I just need to look exactly

865
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:48.440
<v Speaker 5>like him, and I just need to do exactly what

866
00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:53.119
<v Speaker 5>he does. And guess what, It worked, Yeah, because people

867
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:56.159
<v Speaker 5>were like, I like this, and then this thing is

868
00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:59.800
<v Speaker 5>slightly different. So this looks like the guy with the tattoos,

869
00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:02.719
<v Speaker 5>with that sort of body, but he has a plussy

870
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:06.679
<v Speaker 5>but everything else kind of reads similarly. And I think

871
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:08.960
<v Speaker 5>I kind of got in the door with that because

872
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:12.440
<v Speaker 5>the alternati dudes, Like, if you're into alternative tattooed guys,

873
00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:15.159
<v Speaker 5>you're kind of probably a little bit more into alternative bodies.

874
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:17.760
<v Speaker 5>So I feel like I got in there, and then

875
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:20.320
<v Speaker 5>once I got a little hook, there were a couple

876
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:22.559
<v Speaker 5>leaders who like broke the door open.

877
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:24.639
<v Speaker 4>And now that there's.

878
00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:27.239
<v Speaker 5>Only fans, you can just be whoever you want in

879
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:30.039
<v Speaker 5>the middle of fucking nowhere. You can be a trans

880
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:32.800
<v Speaker 5>man in the middle of fucking nowhere and be like

881
00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:37.519
<v Speaker 5>I only make jerk off videos with octopus dildos. But

882
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:41.039
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna be the only one. Yes, you're gonna dominate.

883
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:44.920
<v Speaker 5>And that's what I love seeing is like the really

884
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:48.480
<v Speaker 5>niche performers where we're like, oh my god, you're the

885
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:50.079
<v Speaker 5>only trance guy making this content.

886
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:50.920
<v Speaker 4>It's so cool.

887
00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:53.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And you know, Naked Sword at the time was

888
00:42:53.639 --> 00:42:55.679
<v Speaker 3>I think that that was sort of what their brand was.

889
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:57.599
<v Speaker 1>By the way, was like they're kind of like.

890
00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Not super duper fit, like tattooed cute, you know, like

891
00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:05.679
<v Speaker 3>kind of like boyish, but rough around the edges.

892
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:09.480
<v Speaker 1>With very different what they are now. I mean know

893
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:09.840
<v Speaker 1>they were.

894
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:12.519
<v Speaker 3>Still with Falcon, Yeah, but like that was the brand

895
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:14.760
<v Speaker 3>that mister Pam was asked to bring to the table.

896
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:19.760
<v Speaker 3>It was kind of like boyish, twunky tattooed boys. Yeah,

897
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:21.599
<v Speaker 3>so I feel like that was I mean it was

898
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:25.360
<v Speaker 3>a Colton Gray Colton Gray at the time, certainly, Yeah,

899
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:28.239
<v Speaker 3>but like you know bray Love and you know, Justin

900
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Brody certainly was like more of like a buff version

901
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:30.639
<v Speaker 3>of that.

902
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I was part of the team at that time.

903
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:34.559
<v Speaker 4>Justin.

904
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:38.119
<v Speaker 5>Part of the reason Justin and I think our video

905
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:42.079
<v Speaker 5>popped off was Justin was walking runway. Yes, right, so

906
00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:45.719
<v Speaker 5>he had just done fashion week, so and he was

907
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:47.559
<v Speaker 5>kind of a fashion darling at the time.

908
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:50.880
<v Speaker 3>And he's an artist as well, so I know that

909
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:52.760
<v Speaker 3>he wanted to work with someone like you and was like,

910
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:54.639
<v Speaker 3>that would be punk rock for us to do this

911
00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:56.599
<v Speaker 3>like the studio scene.

912
00:43:56.719 --> 00:44:01.559
<v Speaker 5>And mister Pam was like, you can't tell anybody about this,

913
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:04.280
<v Speaker 5>like we're doing this, and we're doing this, but you

914
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:06.480
<v Speaker 5>can't be like, you can't open your mouth about this

915
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:09.400
<v Speaker 5>until this hits And she was like, you need to

916
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:12.760
<v Speaker 5>just know what I'm She was like, I because I

917
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:16.679
<v Speaker 5>had bugged her years and years and years and years

918
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:19.360
<v Speaker 5>and years, And I was like when because I she

919
00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:21.519
<v Speaker 5>went with all the gay boys, all the gay boys

920
00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:24.239
<v Speaker 5>you shot all wanted to fuck me, but all wanted

921
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:25.840
<v Speaker 5>to fuck me on the low and would like see

922
00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:28.159
<v Speaker 5>me at the club and then DM me after because

923
00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:30.239
<v Speaker 5>it was in that era where gay boys were going

924
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:32.000
<v Speaker 5>through the same feelings you had, where they were like,

925
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:36.000
<v Speaker 5>I want to fuck this person. I'm intimidated by them.

926
00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:38.480
<v Speaker 3>I certainly a missed opportunity for me, I will say,

927
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:41.599
<v Speaker 3>but it's true that was I had a few years

928
00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:43.679
<v Speaker 3>on Justin, so I feel like I was still a

929
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:46.039
<v Speaker 3>little I had a little more work to do, Whereas

930
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:48.239
<v Speaker 3>I think Justin in his mid twenties and his like

931
00:44:48.280 --> 00:44:51.719
<v Speaker 3>super punk perspective was like fuck yeah, I'm doing this.

932
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.159
<v Speaker 5>And I think a lot of it has to do

933
00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:58.239
<v Speaker 5>with I think a lot of it has to do

934
00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:03.400
<v Speaker 5>with like gay men's desire for transmn. This is going

935
00:45:03.480 --> 00:45:06.719
<v Speaker 5>to go off topic, but gay men's desire for transmen

936
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:13.440
<v Speaker 5>is confusing for gay men because you you've gotten ostracized

937
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:14.519
<v Speaker 5>for liking what you like.

938
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Right Oh yeah, Like I mean on Twitter you post

939
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:23.880
<v Speaker 2>something with if we collabed, Like there are people that

940
00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:26.000
<v Speaker 2>are that think if you are a gay person and

941
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:28.960
<v Speaker 2>you have sex with a trans man, that makes makes

942
00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:31.280
<v Speaker 2>that makes you something other than gay.

943
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:33.079
<v Speaker 3>Well there, I mean, there is a certainly, like we've

944
00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:34.920
<v Speaker 3>talked about this a lot Victor on this podcast, that

945
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:37.559
<v Speaker 3>there is like there are these crusaders on the internet

946
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:39.800
<v Speaker 3>who are just like, you know, unless you're just do

947
00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:44.400
<v Speaker 3>gay content, you're you're doing a disservice to the community

948
00:45:44.760 --> 00:45:47.960
<v Speaker 3>and those people they're wrong there and like and I

949
00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:50.599
<v Speaker 3>feel like it's a dated perspective. It's almost like right

950
00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:55.760
<v Speaker 3>right wing yeah style rhetoric that doesn't fit in today's

951
00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:56.639
<v Speaker 3>standards anymore.

952
00:45:56.679 --> 00:45:59.280
<v Speaker 1>And I love that there's this new.

953
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Well it's all left so it's like it's like the

954
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:04.400
<v Speaker 2>same thing on the left side.

955
00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:08.079
<v Speaker 3>I suppose. I don't know what you mean, but we've

956
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:09.159
<v Speaker 3>got to wrap up this conversation.

957
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:16.119
<v Speaker 5>So I think, you know, as a trans man, especially

958
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:18.800
<v Speaker 5>like dealing with gay men, like I get paid to

959
00:46:18.840 --> 00:46:22.480
<v Speaker 5>deal with your shame, m and you're monetizing it and

960
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:26.199
<v Speaker 5>I'm monetizing it, but I get paid in the dark. Okay,

961
00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:29.960
<v Speaker 5>So men come to me, gay men come to me

962
00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:35.639
<v Speaker 5>who have survived the AIDS crisis, who fought their whole entire.

963
00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:37.039
<v Speaker 4>Life to be to suck cock.

964
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:43.199
<v Speaker 5>Its huge identity for them because they got hurt. And

965
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:45.639
<v Speaker 5>I understand that they got hurt and how they got

966
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:49.880
<v Speaker 5>hurt is so fucked up right. I can't even start

967
00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:52.599
<v Speaker 5>to fucking imagine. I can't start to unpack that pain.

968
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:53.880
<v Speaker 5>I do not know what.

969
00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:54.400
<v Speaker 4>That feels like.

970
00:46:55.639 --> 00:47:00.320
<v Speaker 5>But to fight so hard for that and then to

971
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:05.400
<v Speaker 5>have my existence make you question that just by me

972
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:09.639
<v Speaker 5>standing next to you, that's got to feel pretty crazy.

973
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:12.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't think about that because I'm existing as myself

974
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:15.480
<v Speaker 5>like that. I'm not a SIS person. I don't know

975
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:18.559
<v Speaker 5>what SIS panic feels like. I do not I've been

976
00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:21.760
<v Speaker 5>traned since I was eighteen, over almost half my life.

977
00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:24.679
<v Speaker 5>I literally don't know what that feels like. So I

978
00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:27.960
<v Speaker 5>can imagine if somebody has tried their whole life and

979
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:32.199
<v Speaker 5>been ostracized and fought, you're gonna have to fight through

980
00:47:32.360 --> 00:47:34.719
<v Speaker 5>a lot to even get to the point to admit

981
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:38.239
<v Speaker 5>your desire, let alone be cool with it, And so

982
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:44.679
<v Speaker 5>any negative reaction saying you're straight or whatever, replace you

983
00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:49.760
<v Speaker 5>with I. I am afraid of I am afraid of

984
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:53.840
<v Speaker 5>being straight. I am afraid of liking that plussy, I

985
00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:55.880
<v Speaker 5>am afraid of wanting to have sex with this person.

986
00:47:56.440 --> 00:47:59.599
<v Speaker 5>I'm afraid of not being gay. And when you replace that,

987
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:02.920
<v Speaker 5>you and you realize that these people are just projecting.

988
00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:05.239
<v Speaker 5>You get to kind of feel sorry for them.

989
00:48:05.360 --> 00:48:10.199
<v Speaker 3>What empathy, Like, I mean, that's that's really admirable to

990
00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:11.880
<v Speaker 3>be able to see it from that perspective.

991
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:14.079
<v Speaker 5>Well, you're not going to be able to change anybody,

992
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:16.599
<v Speaker 5>and I think that is my thing is even if

993
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:18.639
<v Speaker 5>I can just leave you with a moment of just

994
00:48:18.679 --> 00:48:23.400
<v Speaker 5>being like, listen, I'm just going to make you think

995
00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:26.800
<v Speaker 5>a little bit more because maybe you can dig a

996
00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:30.159
<v Speaker 5>little bit deeper because you're more than what you thought.

997
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:33.000
<v Speaker 5>Maybe you're more than what you thought. Yeah, And I

998
00:48:33.039 --> 00:48:36.360
<v Speaker 5>think that that is like my superpower. That's my superpower

999
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:38.000
<v Speaker 5>is I'm just like, don't be afraid of me to

1000
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:42.000
<v Speaker 5>let's talk about it. But like, yeah, and with gay men, especially,

1001
00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:45.039
<v Speaker 5>like if you're in any situation with a trans man,

1002
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:48.079
<v Speaker 5>like you know, this might be hard to hear for

1003
00:48:48.159 --> 00:48:50.599
<v Speaker 5>everybody in the room. You're having this whole experience. But

1004
00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:53.039
<v Speaker 5>I'm fucking existing. I still don't have my rent paid

1005
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:55.719
<v Speaker 5>and I'm still not eating for days. You are in

1006
00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:58.519
<v Speaker 5>such a position of privilege to even have an emotional

1007
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:01.559
<v Speaker 5>reaction about my existence. Wow, whenevery fucking day I have

1008
00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:02.719
<v Speaker 5>to wake up and deal with that.

1009
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:03.519
<v Speaker 2>All day.

1010
00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1011
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:09.199
<v Speaker 5>So, like the emotional labor transmen have to do is crazy,

1012
00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:12.480
<v Speaker 5>but also transmitter are the secret healing man, so like.

1013
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Fuck, yeah, my god. I mean I feel like we

1014
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:17.599
<v Speaker 3>could go for a full other hour. I have so

1015
00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:20.880
<v Speaker 3>many questions. Is there anything you want to plug? I'd

1016
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:22.960
<v Speaker 3>feel like you're up to a lot lately with your

1017
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:25.320
<v Speaker 3>own content creation. So what can you share with our

1018
00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:26.800
<v Speaker 3>listeners where they could find you?
