That is their opinion. I know the reason why I’m Bobrisky. I already told you the reason why I do all that I do now and why I do them. I let people say whatever they feel like saying about me. I âm myself and different opinions are welcome.
What do your parents think about the way you live your life?

Before your mum died, did she object to your lifestyle?

Do you feel like a girl?
I actually dont feel like a girl inside of me, but I have a girly way of thinking and I’m very caring. My mum got to love me so much before she died because I’m hard-working.
