    Now how would you feel if you found out that this so-called "black woman" was once a man? Hollyweird is at it again. She gets zero respect because of the deception. Don't know why Hollyweird keep fooling the masses with these things. Just come out and tell people the truth about who or what you really were. Trust me, this is/was a dude.

    I'm so grateful for the honesty of this speech in how Isse Rae felt the awkwardness of her new found success. I get choked and paralyzed at the idea of success, as failure is so much easier to grasp. This brought me to tears just by her integrity and honesty of just her truth. Thank you for being so relatable.
