Allah'ım işine karışmak gibi olmasın ama tahmini bende ne zaman sevilirim?

XL. You are one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors. You'd think that not having a partner is a sin in this business, don't you think?

BDT Yes, right? If you go to a bookstore, you'll find thousands of books on how to be in a relationship, but not a single one on how to be with yourself. Society has its rules, its uniforms, and not having a partner can make you look weird in the eyes of others. But for me, the most important thing is to have fun, to feel comfortable.

XL. And do you get along well with yourself?

BDT Not all the time. I constantly blame myself for things. Stupidity, laziness, distraction… I guess my personal situation is different. I am not with my daughter’s mother, I am with my daughter, but there is a lot of love for that girl. I have friends, but not necessarily a partner. For that, you have to have time and when you travel as much as I do, it is difficult. Now, my time is for my girl, she is number one . And she knows it!

There's an element in transness I've experienced where you internalize the idea that you and your gender are under a type of scrutiny that cis people are not, so you pressure yourself into doubling down, tripling down, even, if it means that you can retain your gender in the eyes of others.

I've realized the pressure for me to be hypermasculine, toned, blemish-free, and even straight hasnt come from an internal desire to reflect who I am to others, but was rather an attempt to say, "I know I'm being watched, but look, you don't have to rip me apart; I'm the perfect man".

I think this is something many trans people - though not all by any means - navigate through. It's really difficult sometimes, and it can take a long time to fully understand where expectations end and your own dreams, goals, and wishes begin. It's really hard knowing your gender is up for debate, it's really hard being defensive and always feeling watched, surveyed. I think, though, that there is hope, there is a point where the expectations of others simply don't register. It takes time and patience, but the first step can sometimes be putting pressure off of yourself to express what it is you are feeling.
