If someone sits and stares at you while you eat, you won't even eat the way you normally do, because it'll make you so uncomfortable.

It's something that dehumanizes a person, being on display like that.

I support anyone's right to be who they want to be. My question is: to what extent do I have to participate in your self-image?

I don't want the money. I don't want the drama. I just want to do my show. I want to have fun again.
