, the 29-year-old 13 Reasons Why star tells novelist Torrey Peters that she is a transgender woman.«For a year now, I have been privately identifying and living as a woman — a trans woman,» Tommy says. «It’s funny to think about coming out, because I haven’t gone anywhere.
I view today as a reintroduction to me as a woman, having made a transition medically.»«Coming out is always viewed as this grand reveal, but I was never not out,» she continues. «Today is about clarity: I am a trans woman.
My pronouns are she/her. My name is Tommy.»Her name, however, is something that Tommy does not plan to change.«I’m named after my mom’s brother who passed a month after I was born, and I feel very connected to that name, to an uncle who held me as he.
