| 0:00.0 | Welcome Janay. Thank you. Great to have you back on the show. You were just mentioning beforehand |
| 0:07.6 | feeling super uncomfortable back many many years ago. Can you explain some of that to us because |
| 0:13.9 | that's interesting like to look at yourself in the mirror and to not be happy with yourself. But now |
| 0:19.7 | I also think that you're happier. Much nowadays. Yeah, so it was, I mean, it seems all the way back |
| 0:26.8 | from being a young child. By the time I was four or five years old, I already knew I had issues |
| 0:33.1 | with my gender. I didn't know, you know, back then there was no internet. There was no social media. |
| 0:38.2 | I didn't know that anyone else in the world was like me. And I didn't know exactly what it meant. |
| 0:43.4 | That's right. Interesting to hear because like I think a lot of little kids think that like when |
| 0:47.6 | you're a little kid, you kind of think there's like no one else has my same fears or my same things. |
| 0:52.6 | Right. Yeah. What you are harboring is different. Yeah. Yeah. I felt totally along with it. And I |
| 1:00.1 | also knew what's interesting is even at that really young age, I already knew it wasn't okay to tell |

| 1:16.0 | Yeah. And the one was only 18 months younger than me. So we were pretty close growing up. |
| 1:20.8 | And yeah. And then as adults, like, you know, it's funny that we've had many conversations. |
| 1:26.1 | He's like, gosh, why didn't you tell me? And I'm like, I didn't think you'd understand. And I |
| 1:29.9 | didn't know even how to explain it. And I thought, you know, if I told you where you found out, |
| 1:35.1 | you would wrap me out to mom and dad. And this was going to be really bad. I'd end up in shock |
| 1:39.3 | therapy or who knows what. And but yeah, I already knew at that young of age that what was |
| 1:46.7 | expected of boys and what was expected of girls. And that and the thing was it wasn't like, oh, |
| 1:52.1 | I want to play with dolls or I wanted, you know, do this stuff. But it was just that I was daydreaming |
| 1:58.3 | about being a little girl. Like, I would see myself doing the same things I was already doing, |
