3. She Has “Always Been This Way”
She also maintains that prior to revealing her identity to the world, she had been living it for a long time. "A lot of people assumed that I was living a totally different life. All of a sudden, it was like, 'I'm different now, I've changed!'" she told TODAY Style. "But really, the only thing that changed is that I'm allowed to be myself outside of my home. Because I've always been this way, but no one knew except my family and friends. I think the best part is just getting to leave my home and go to the grocery store and not have to worry about what I'm wearing or what I look like," Totah continued. "I can just be me now. And that's all I ever asked, to exist as myself. But it's a hard journey to come by."
