She lived as a well-passing trans man for 14 years, gaining personal experience with bigotry and hostility directed towards white men. This peaked with cult-level abuse in the youth service field in 2020. She moved to central Texas with friends in pursuit of finding a new, fresh culture. That sparked a radical spiritual transformation and her sudden detransition in 2023.
