Actress Tommy Dorfman has revealed her feelings about the surgery.
American actor Tommy Dorfman, best known for his role in the TV series «13 Reasons Why», has declared himself transgender. Now he identifies himself as a woman.
Actress Tommy Dorfman gave a frank interview in which she spoke about a new vision of her personality. For a long time she published provocative photos on Instagram, but now she has officially announced the change of gender.
Tommy Dorfman — trans woman
The 13 Reasons Why star introduced herself to the public and fans again. Tommy emphasized that the pronouns «she, her» should now be used for her.
For a year now, I have identified myself in private life and have lived as a woman — a trans woman. I want to introduce myself once again, because I underwent surgery to become a woman from a medical point of view. I am a trans woman. I use the pronoun «she». My name is Tommy
— the actress admitted.
The celebrity actually underwent surgery on intimate organs. She starred in a photo shoot where she showed a figure in red and black dresses.
At first, Tommy Dorfman hid her real self, because she was worried about safety. But now she realized that the transition process was wonderful.
Why not show the world what it looks like? One option I really couldn't afford was to disappear for two years and come back with a new name, a new face, and a new body. This is not what I wanted
— said the star.
She added that she would not change her name. Tommy was the name of the late brother of the actress's mother. He died a month after Dorfman was born. Therefore, the mother decided to name her son (and now her daughter) in his honor.
“I feel very connected with this name, with the uncle who held me when he died. This is Tommy's evolution. I adjust my body to my soul, ”the girl emphasized.
