Aron becomes Erin

"I spent most of my life in denial, convincing myself that (gender) transition was for someone else," Parisi said in an interview. "I figured I could push it off in my life long enough that I could outlive it or outrun it or outhide it, and that's just not how your self works. No matter how long you wait or where you hide, you're kind of always there. I thought that if I just did it day by day and just focused, that I could live a more conventional model for longer. I couldn't deny who I was forever. It's not how I could continue to live."
