Actress Tommy Dorfman came out as trans just over a year ago in a triumphant spread in Time. But if she hadn’t appeared on the popular Netflix series \u201c13 Reasons Why,\u201d she said, she may have come out earlier.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think if I hadn’t booked that job, I would’ve started transitioning a lot sooner,\u201d Dorfman told Rachel Bilson on her podcast \u201cBroad Ideas.\u201d \u201cI think because my work being (sic) so tied to my body and like face and like identity, and whatever I’d been identified as, it delayed some of my growth and maturation in my mid-20s.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n

Dorfman said she was cast on \u201c13 Reasons Why\u201d at 24, and even then she was combating gender dysphoria. But on the series, a controversial but widely watched teen drama that premiered in 2017, Dorfman played a gay, cisgender male, a situation that led her to \u201ccompartmentalize\u201d the parts of her that questioned her identity.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFor me, I feel like I kind of got stuck in time for a minute,\u201d she said of her casting on the show, for which she also expressed gratitude. \u201cWhen it came to anything around dysphoria or gender or stuff that had already been really present, I was like, ‘nope, that’s not for now.’\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n

Dorfman also compared the first year of sobriety \u2013 she’s been sober since she was 21, she told Bilson \u2013 to her first year living as an out trans woman and the milestones she’s reached. Only this time, she said, she’s reaching these milestones very publicly.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI felt like I had to do all those things again as a woman,\u201d Dorfman said.\u201d As my body takes a new shape and new form, more organically, like from hormones, I’m then confronted with new challenges.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n

Dorfman had privately transitioned a year before her 2021 interview with Time. She called the announcement a \u201creintroduction to me as a woman.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
