I was shielded from the pains of bigotryand the social restrictions of a religiously-based upbringing.Where I come from, if you weren't a drag queen or a radical thinkeror a performance artist of some kind,you were the weirdo.It was an unorthodox upbringing,but as a kid on the streets of New York,you learn how to trust your own instincts,you learn how to go with your own ideas.
So when I was six, I decided that I wanted to be a boy.I went to school one day and the kids wouldn't let me play basketball with them.They said they wouldn't let girls play.So I went home, and I shaved my head,and I came back the next day and I said, "I'm a boy."I mean, who knows, right?When you're six, maybe you can do that.I didn't want anyone to know that I was a girl, and they didn't.
I kept up the charade for eight years.
So this is me when I was 11.I was playing a kid named Walterin a movie called "Julian Po."I was a little street tough that followed Christian Slater around and badgered him.See, I was also a child actor,which doubled up the layers of the performance of my identity,because no one knew that I was actually a girl really playing a boy.
In fact, no one in my life knew that I was a girl --not my teachers at school, not my friends,not the directors that I worked with.Kids would often come up to me in classand grab me by the throat to check for an Adam's appleor grab my crotch to check what I was working with.When I would go to the bathroom, I would turn my shoes around in the stallsso that it looked like I was peeing standing up.At sleepovers I would have panic attackstrying to break it to girls that they didn't want to kiss mewithout outing myself.
