In a heartfelt announcement, Tommy Dorfman, known for her role in the Netflix series “13 Reasons Why,” has reintroduced herself to the world as a transgender woman. In an interview with author Torrey Peters for TIME Magazine, she shared, “Today is about clarity: I am a trans woman. My pronouns are she/her. My name is Tommy.”

Dorfman explained that her coming out is not a departure from who she is. “I view today as a reintroduction to me as a woman, having made a transition medically,” she said. “Coming out is always viewed as this grand reveal, but I was never not out.” She has been living as a woman for the past year and expressed her desire to share her journey with the world. “I recognize that transitioning is beautiful. Why not let the world see what that looks like?”

Dorfman reflected on her concerns about how her identity might affect her acting career, admitting, “It’s impossible for me to separate my personal and professional transition, because my body and face are linked to my career.” She has come to terms with her identity, stating, “I’m no longer interested in playing ‘male’ characters.”

She has chosen not to change her name, which holds significant personal meaning, stating, “This is an evolution of Tommy. I’m becoming more Tommy.” In her Instagram post, she expressed gratitude for the trans community, saying, “I’m especially grateful to every single trans person who walked this path, broke down barriers, and risked their lives to live authentically and radically as themselves before me.”

Dorfman concluded her interview by emphasizing that her transition is about being true to herself. “It is not transition. Or it is, but not as an idea of going somewhere. Just that I am actually myself.”
