Coming Out

(This is a re-post from my Facebook account on 4/4/2026)

It has come to my attention that many people could benefit from some clarity regarding the situation at hand.

Here’s the gist of it.

After years of living in the closet and privately grappling with these issues (which I handled poorly with the help of alcohol), I have decided to come out publicly as transgender. This means that my outward appearance and gender identity may differ from what you all have been accustomed to associating with me.

I never intended for my time of clarity to lead to this moment of self-discovery. However, I stand by my decision to be true to myself and share the beauty of living an authentic life with the world.

I would like to extend an invitation to all of you to ask me questions about what is happening so that you can gain a better understanding of the complex emotions and thoughts that accompany this particular situation.

Please remember that the only decision I made was to be myself. See less
