"I am delighted to

present

myself

as the woman I am today.

My pronouns are her / them. Thank you, @time, for this space, @torreyadora for writing this story, and @gizellehernandez for these images. I am especially

grateful

to all the trans people who walked this path, broke barriers and risked their lives to live authentically and radically like themselves before me.

Thanks to all the trans women who showed me who I am,

how to live, celebrate me and occupy a space in this world. "

The interpreter has clarified that this change in her identity

will not affect her name,

which she will keep for strong sentimental reasons.

"I am not going to change my name.

My name is after my mother's brother, who passed away

a month after I was born, and I feel very attached to that name, to an uncle who supported me while he died. It is an evolution of Tommy .

I'm becoming Tommy. "

Tommy Dorfman, in a scene from the series.

Speaking to

Time

, the actress confesses that she is working to include her new identity in her professional career. "I'm thinking about

how I can include my trans body in film and television.

Lena Dunham gave me my first role as a girl last year; it was very exciting and validating. And personally, it is crazy to

be 29 years old and to go through again. puberty

Some days I feel like I'm 14. As a result of this change,

the kinds of romantic relationships I seek are different.

I had a nine-year relationship in which I was considered more masculine, with a gay man.

I love him very much, but we have learned that, as a trans woman, what interests me is not necessarily reflected in a gay man.

So we've had amazing conversations to

redefine our relationship as friends.

The transition has been liberating and enlightening "
