In a newinterview with Grindr, Russom said she has been wanting to come out for years.

This was even before that word existed.

Coming out has left Russom feeling more connected to her bandmates and their catalog, she told Grindr.

Of course, the transition has not been without challenges.

She referred to the use of public restrooms as unpleasant at best and scary at their worst.

Im carrying so many of these things around with me.

Thats been challenging to work through having those preconditioned societal ideas of what transgender women can do.

What would be better than giving someone permission to do that through my performance?
