“I will never understand the transgender struggle, so I did not want to come off like a Puerto Rican male who doesn’t share those same struggles but [still] comes off as speaking knowledge. That was my big fear in putting it out. But after reading stories about Leelah and reading her final Tumblr post, I was like, “I just can’t not put this out. I cannot worry about any responses.” One of the exciting aspects of the world we live in is that music and art can be very reactive now. I may have written that song a year ago, but it’s very connected to what happened. If I can get my voice out there somehow and lend my support to the transgender community, if I can open one person’s mind, I’ll feel good about it.”
