That it was because of the clothes I wore, what my hair looked like, and the music I listened to. Those are all things I can rectify. I can comb my hair, I can listen to jazz, I don\u2019t know what, but to be somebody who\u2019s gay, lesbian, and especially trans, I don\u2019t know what it feels like to be trapped in a body that I don\u2019t feel I belong in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PWTorch contributor Eric Krol filmed the entire post-show segement, which can be seen on his Twitter account <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prowrestlingvi1\/status\/1670255920331251713?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3362304058\"><div id=\"pwtor-4092912792\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>C.M.
