00:00In your performance, how important is it
00:04that you're free to express your gender identity?
00:12Pass. I'm kidding.
00:14How important is it that you're free to express your gender?
00:18Because there are a lot of performers who have a wall, right?
00:23Because there's a barrier, right?
00:26I'm still in the process.
00:27Actually, last year, I was in the depressive stage.
00:30And that's when I learned to lower my walls and everything.
00:33Because I still have some things that I don't accept to do.
00:37Especially in expressing myself.
00:40Where does that come from? Why don't you accept to do it?
00:43Maybe because...
00:44Fear?
00:45Fear of what others will say about me.
00:48Because since I was young, I've been on TV.
00:52So you've built something in your mind,
00:55that you should be like this.
00:57You shouldn't be like this.
00:58That's why when I was slowly becoming free,
01:01and I was with the two of you,
01:02I was so exposed to it.
01:05I was so happy.
01:07You know, this kind of thing.
01:09That's why I'm still in the process,
01:12I still can't say that I'm here.
01:15So I'm still in the process.
01:17How did you tell your parents?
01:20The first time I told them about it was in 2011.
01:25And of course, they didn't accept it.
01:27It took them a few years to accept it.
01:29I cried.
01:31Because...
01:34Because...
01:36Of course, they were thinking of something in the future for me.
01:43But I didn't give it to them.
01:47That's how it was.
01:48So that's how it was.
01:49I'm so thankful to them.
01:51Because after a few years,
01:53when they didn't accept it,
01:54they accepted me wholeheartedly.
01:56And one of the big things there is my partner.
02:01Because he taught me how to appreciate
02:05the simplest things in life.
02:08That's why I'm so...
