When the Mirror Lies: A Life Lived in Disguise
What happens when every glance in the mirror shows you a stranger? When the body you inhabit feels like a costume you can't remove? At four years old, standing in a YMCA preschool bathroom, a small child tried to pee standing up-not out of curiosity, but necessity. This wasn't experimentation. It was instinct. By six, the question came directly: "Can I be a boy?" The answer-gentle but crushing-was no. Yet something fundamental had already been established: a knowing that would persist through decades of denial, fame, and carefully constructed facades. Growing up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, freedom existed only in fragments. Building forts on a bunk bed became sacred space. Love letters signed "Jason" to imaginary girlfriends weren't fantasy-they were rehearsals for a truth not yet speakable. A mother who judged action figure diving competitions and shared Saturday night hockey also insisted on dresses for special occasions, creating a painful contradiction: acceptance at home, performance in public. Then puberty arrived like a betrayal-chest growing, periods starting, weight redistributing in ways that felt profoundly wrong. One summer day brought unexpected euphoria: wearing a friend's red Speedo, grinning at a reflection that finally felt right. Nothing had changed except everything-the colors brighter, sounds sharper, joy undeniable. These weren't random moments. They were breadcrumbs leading toward an inevitable truth.
