This was the role of a lifetime.

The first time I tried drag make-up, I saw this flash of my mom’s face in my face.

Inclusivity requires dialogue.

My true self feels like a liquid continuously morphing thing.

I don't feel like picking another label. I'm just Daan.

It might be the most challenging part of all of this – that social transition.

At one point, I decided that everything I liked defined me and not a specific gender.

Up until high school, I didn’t really think about it.

Even I thought: You’re either this or that.

When people approach me by calling me a girl, it doesn’t bother me.

I didn’t start hormone therapy because I didn’t want to be something I was, I did it out of love for who I am.

It's impossible to identify with something that isn't portrayed.

I loved the body I had as a woman.

How would you like to label me?

Gender is quite the label. The word alone.

I thought everyone in school would think I was weird.

No one is equal till everyone is equal.

The Vogue scene allows all kinds of expressions.

I just want to banish ideas like these from people’s mind.

My top surgery has saved me.

When I was young, I believed that when you died, you could decide how you wanted to return.

People often think of it as moving from one side to the other.

I was given this body. And I’m so happy.

Apparently, gender didn’t have to do with it at all.

If they find out I’m trans because of this project, I wouldn’t mind.

I’m born a woman. Do I have a choice?

They decided for me.

I just want to be seen for who I am.

If someone asks: ‘Where’s Thorn?’ You answer: ‘They are there.’

Now I’ve got this manly exterior, our relationship is suddenly accepted

I think a lot of people aren’t talking or acting from their soul, but from their label.

It doesn’t mean that I'm willing to conform to the expectations that come with the word man.

During the day I’m just Tom.

Gender is a classification we’ve created.

My classmate Sharon came to my home to play. And all of a sudden, I was telling her I was born as a boy.
