People who don't have gender dysphoria aren't going to catch it by watching me dance on television.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's an unfortunate reality of being a male dancer that it's not really looked upon... it's not appreciated.
I think if you give in and accept society's stereotypes, then you start thinking, 'I cannot dance till late at night because I'm 70.'
And, of course, they've always condemned dancing. You know, you might touch a member of the opposite sex. And you might get excited and you might do something natural.
I love dancing in general and making girls dance. My generation doesn't do it enough.
People dance and we have a lot of music and... this might be the closet I get for a while.
Part of the joy of dancing is conversation. Trouble is, some men can't talk and dance at the same time.
I'm very much in denial that I can't dance. I really go for it, which is almost more embarrassing.
You don't go out and change your gender for a television show, O.K.? It ain't happening. I don't care who you are.
It's undeniable that what we are taught as a culture to believe about disability is at odds with traditional notions of masculinity.
One thing I am sure of is that I won't judge a dance reality show.
