She was the first MRKH woman who got in touch with me personally, the first MRKH woman I spoke to verbally, the first MRKH woman whom I laid my eyes on.

Here's how I see it: There's nothing sexy or mysterious, strange or rebellious about my writings and my music. They're very ordinary, very me. I'm not gonna overhype or sugarcoat it. It is what it is. I'm scared of misusing words like avant-garde or experimental. I mean, even if my work appeared that way, I wouldn't know. Labelling is not my job; I'm not a critic. I'm a maker.
