From very early on in my childhood - four, five years old - I felt alien to the human race. I felt very comfortable with thinking I was from another planet, because I felt disconnected - I was very tall and skinny, and I didn't look like anybody else, I didn't even look like any member of my family.

As a kid I just felt like an outsider.

As a teenager at high school, I felt like an outsider.

As a kid, I felt really weird.

I was an incredibly lonely, very alienated teenager.

I felt alien my whole life, but I didn't feel alien because of my gender. Other people made me aware of my gender.

Being a kid, as all kids do, you feel out of place or like kind of a freak. You wake up feeling like your head got put onto someone else's body that day.

I don't know what it is about me. I don't know if there's something strange... but I continue to play aliens, so there's obviously something there.

I feel like I died as a child.

My first tic was to shake my head violently. I was in karate class, and I was shaking violently. All of a sudden, I just started to notice that the teacher was looking at me, and all the kids were wondering what I was doing. I suddenly felt really strange.
