Trevi continued: “I’ve dealt with this feeling my entire life and I know that I am a woman, deep down inside. It's just a feeling you know. I hit a rock on my journey in 2017 when I thought that I wasn't transgender because I thought that people were pushing me to be transgender. I just had a lot of demons back then."
