You were at LA Pride last year. What did you think?

This year you’re the emcee of the Pride Festival. What can audiences anticipate from you?

When I was growing up, the word transgender didn’t exist yet, so it was extra difficult to self identify. I knew from a young age that I was a boy in the wrong body who liked girls. I truly believe that someday soon we will transcend all the labels. After all, we’re all humans.

Your show on June 10 is at the Unitarian Church. Have you performed in a church before?

Your show is based on your biography published in 2017. Are there more books or more shows in your future?

I was just cast as one of 20 ensemble members at Meow Wolf to do movement-based improv in the House of Eternal Return with patrons — I have no idea what exactly, but I’m excited to get paid to learn new stuff! It’s a great opportunity for me to do more body-based work, like dance, and to do it with top notch people. There’s one other trans person in the ensemble and a couple gender non-conforming people. There’s a lot of diversity, also ethnically and in body type.
