I guess we’re living in a pretty sensitive world and there’s nothing you can do about that.

I was really sensitive because people would say they thought I was a boy or call me a boy and stuff like that. I always had my hair back and, like I said, baggy clothes. So it was kind of sad. I didn’t know what to do about it, and I didn’t know what I was doing wrong because I was just being me.
