3:19 am
so on. so when i saw her, it was like someone telling me the world is flat. like you're really real eureka moment in my life. and i think that the, the thinking was very much if you were boy, that feels that her girl he shouldn't want to climb trees and get dirty and tend your fight pilot or racing called try if he should be playing with dolls and, and so on. and so on, i just was not going to kid. when i was about a 1000000 years old. i had a friend containment and his dantes to race, not professionally, but you know, very competitively at club level. and he said, yeah, you know, we're going racing if you would come, i'd never actually been to race track and especially being in the paddock with all the cars, being surrounded by, by these call. this is
3:20 am
a very kind of intoxicating smell. being in that environment. capital r and an interest in the noise and do something about it. they just yeah, just let a real spark of enthusiasm in me and then my brother and i went from them on for 3 years running t 1001233 years the band competed eventually one. and that was yeah, i mean that was like nothing i'd ever seen. i said year in the seat of a c. i made up my mind, this is it, i'm going to 20 some, some racing myself but as opposed to a fife was like a half finished project at a row cage had a 16 valve and jane. but that was, it was like, had 4 wheels at no doors on it. it was a like with everything was stripped out of it. but it was something i could afford . a 1st thing i did out, she was a sprint, a cobra. but nonetheless, i was there,
3:21 am
i was can p saying, doing my to sports on my own state. and that was a great feeling ah, coming in stop period does when i started to struggle. very struggle with my my gender identity and i wake up in the morning and see myself in the mirror and i just realized, yeah, i don't, i don't even have any connection with the person staring back at me anymore. at nothing in my life really matter to me anymore, cuz it's a slight will was the point living she's not living with you. i figured out how's gonna take my life and i couldn't, i, you know, i was at a point where i just couldn't even function. you know, i could barely get through the day i slept breakdown i'm
3:22 am
and i thought myself, this is this wrong. i can't do this and that was january 2012 that i, i decided okay, this is it. i'm going to transition say transition was the thing that i wanted most in my life. and yet at the same time it was the scariest thing could imagine. it was this, you know, it was like this huge mountain. the i was terrified of confronting. and i looked at might sport and i just thought no one's gonna accept me in that space. i never seen any l t b teacher, pos visibility. and because that was such a happy place for me, i couldn't bear the idea of that being turned around and being space where i didn't feel welcome and i felt rejected. and so i just thought, well, i'll just give that up. you know, i don't,

3:24 am
a new found confidence. things began looking up in her career. i pans for probably the hardest part of that experience, and i'm starting to find confidence and self belief that i'd never 9 and my whole life. and i think that had a huge impact. not just on racing, but on so many levels on just how you think in function. i think a big part of me was kind of locked up inside. like living in denial was living in denial. it using physical energy to suppress a major part of your personality. a really intrinsic part of who you are as a person. when, when you do that, you using physical entities. it's tiring. it mentally keegan.
