  All About Ty  
  In My Own Words...  
 

Girlyman has taught me how to be a woman. I mean, a man. Well, Girlyman allows me to be myself, which is a thing. I understand because of Girlyman's guidance that I am a being. Girlyman has led me on a path to my own girlish self, and because of my manly understanding, I can now breathe the bigender air. Because of this, I can be alone without panicking. Thank you, Girlyman.
