I just emailed Aiden thanking him for his help with this project. I´m just so excited, and so happy, and a bit scared. I mean, now THIS will be to work in English. Interviewing in English several times. What about rapport and all that stuff? There is just no chance to screw up here. I just can´t screw up, it´s out of the question.
I´m not quite sure he will be good on camera, but I don´t care anymore. There is this one thing I saw in him that I love: he is a bit shy, he is a bit insecure, but he seems to be one of those people who fights it. Someone who says "Ok, so I´m shy. Being shy forces you to stay focused on yourself, and makes it difficult to connect with people. Pretty stupid: then I don´t want to be shy." What follows is a daily struggle against one´s insecurities. I can relate to that. I am the same way. I can relate to this guy. This is enough for me to like him. My subject is great :))
I am going to make of this project whatever it is that I want it to be. No more struggling. I deserve to enjoy this. So I emailed him about that.

He said, among many other things, that I was very "honest." Gulp. I know why he said that: when we met at the cafeteria, he asked what did I think about trans people before reading his interview at Metro Weekly. I responded something on the lines of  "Well, I have always considered myself to be on gays side when it comes to marriage and adoption rights, but changing one´s sex? I just thought that was in the bag of the crazy things that happen in this crazy world." Jesus Christ teach me to shut up!
