Wrestling created a gateway for drag, and I would say my wrestling and drag now borrow from each other. At first they were inseparable because I was using the same name, but they’ve been manifesting in different ways now.

My wrestling persona is much more joyful, loudmouth, while my drag is more on the ‘gutter girl’ side of things.

I feel most sexy when I'm in drag – it’s a big gender euphoric moment to have my makeup looking right and to get my hair done. I don't really care for nails too much because they actually make me pretty dysphoric.

With gender dysphoria, I hit these contrasts because my arms are more defined, but sometimes I wish to have been more svelte and more slender with a softer kind of skin sensation. It’s tough because I'm always working out, always moving, putting on muscle and such.

There's also the sense that ‘perception is reality’. As somebody who is perceived as a cis Black male, there’s a voice in my head that says that I should perform to a machismo expectation.

But for my own sake, I typically just fluctuate with how I'm feeling in the day and as I typically feel more feminine, I try to go along those lines.

My wrestling gear used to be pretty manly – shorts, pants, and so on. Now I'm wearing skirts/skorts that have shorts underneath them, which has been a nice little journey in getting my gender expression all the way through.

I've been wanting to experiment with hormones for years and years now, but the process of going through it is a headache and a half because where I'm living in Korea, you can't easily have access to hormones and things of that nature.

In Singapore, they were really receptive to the she/hers and the 'Missus' and things like that, and the company that I'm going to wrestle out for in Japan has offered to put the women's belt on me.
