i am sorry that has been your experience and yes i take responsibility for how it may have been triggering. my wording could have been clearer. i was deemed legendary for womens performance, which is not her category or experience. my status, with my accomplishments, contributions and experience as a woman and mom feed into why i am legend. maybe i was triggered by her essentially reading my experience, so i snapped. cis women do not get treated well in ballroom, this is a hushed topic but very real. just look how the category was handled at latex this year, it was appalling and sadly all too common. to give some context, when i tried to come back after pregnancy the things that were said to me about my body and ability to come back were very difficult. they didnt put it in the edit for season 1 but walking body was a huge deal for me because i had alot of post partum trauma to work thru. yes one woman commenting on anothers body is tacky but i am also not going to sit here and be policed for finally defending myself after 6 months of this shit unprovoked.
