"As a boy I don't feel feminine, but people might think I'm gay. When I put on my makeup and a sexy outfit, that's when I see this long, lanky, lucious, lady that makes me happy when she emerges. Other people think she's esthetically pleasing but I think she's hot. I portray a sexy image. I do it so people will get turned on. If every man in the room got a hard on watching me that would make me feel like I really accomplished something. That's how I feel about it. I don't like to have sex in drag, but I'm a teaser. I feel very insecure that I have no breasts and a long, hard thing instead of a pretty, soft, thing. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy being a man but I also enjoy my inner self which happens to be a lot prettier."
