(From my speech at the press conference yesterday morning)
First I would like to say thank you all for being here.
I would like to thank our sponsors M.A.C. and Nyx, my coach, and my team. My time with you has been invaluable, and under your guidance I've had some of the best years of my life.
And so, it is with a heavy heart that I am here to announce that I will be retiring from the world of competitive crossdressing, and I will not seek to rejoin my teammates in pursuit of gold during the next olympic season.
Our team has taken a lot of blows over the past couple months. One teammate whom you all know has tested positive for estrogen, a performance enhancing drug. Another is currently recovering from a rib injury sustained during corset training. Yet another teammate has developed a silicon breast form allergy.
As for me, a myriad of issues have conspired to keep me out of the running for the forseeable future. I tore a tendon near my ankle while training for the high heel competition. The doctors say I may go blind if I try to put on false eyelashes again. Finally, and perhaps most devastatingly, I can't find my purse.
But rather than let these setbacks get me down I saw them as an opportunity for reflection. Perhaps it is time to let the next generation pursue their dreams. Perhaps it is time to step aside and give the younger, hungrier crossdressers a chance to prove themselves.
It is for that reason that I've decided to open a gym, where aspiring girls can train and hone their skills. Indeed, they're going to need to their dainty, feminine A game if they're going to take the gold from Thailand next year.
As for the next U.S. Olympic crossdressing team I wish you luck. I will be with you in spirit if not in body, and when you are en femme, know that I am en femme with you.
Thank you.
