"But I HAD to lie to you for all these years and even parade fake children around!! Why? Because America is such a mean-spirited, hateful, horrendous, atrocious country, I was in fear of VIOLENCE (I'm built like an NFL linebacker now, remember) if I admitted being a homosexual man. It's bad enough being black in this systemically racist, white supremacist system! You have to constantly look over your shoulder, because of all the KKK lynch gangs still stringing up black folks every single day in every big city and small town in America! Living as a woman at least gave me the freedom to live a lie not only to myself but to everyone else!"
