Hello,
As you know, I was publicly outed as transsexual and have had my reputation under attack by Calpernia Addams and Deep Stealth Productions on the Calpernia.com blog since Dec, 2010.

My attorney’s ‘cease and desist’ letter in June, 2011, was essentially ignored and various other attempts to resolve the issue failed. Their attack page and most of the related social media posts remain atop internet search engines. Because of this I filed suit against them in San Francisco’s Superior Court in February 2012.  I filed suit because their outing was a violation of my right to privacy and for their baseless assault on my personal and professional character; no more, no less. But the wheels of justice turn slowly.

So, to begin, I must issue a broad apology to the transgender & transsexual community for allowing my feelings to be tainted by the personal actions of Andrea and Calpernia. That was wrong, unfair of me, and I am sorry.

I was raised to believe anything is achievable if you dream it and are willing to work for it. My goal was always to compete equally alongside every other woman, regardless of how I started in life. I've done that. I've worked hard to achieve happiness in my personal life and respect within my company, clients, and industry. I have reached the point where I’m now able to travel and do most anything I wish. All I need to do is work for it.

When I was modeling and made the final cut for a particular job, another girl outed me to the photographer and client ensuring I would lose that job and any others for which I may have once been considered.

When another woman and I liked the same guy, she told him of my gender history while he was standing with his friends to make sure neither he nor any of the other guys would contact me again.

And when Calpernia and Andrea didn't like my private opinion of their ‘Likin' Big Dicks’ video, they too chose to out me. This time the attack was made by digging up and posting my legal name onto the internet along with baseless personal allegations. Being transsexual, I knew resentment and malice would rise up from time to time. I didn't expect it to manifest itself from those inside the community.

But that is all in my past. I am dropping my lawsuit effective immediately, without strings or stipulations. Calpernia and Andrea used their resources to find and post my legal name; they can keep up their pages and posts if it makes them feel better. They can dig up and post my birth name and pre-transition photos if they choose to as well. That's between them, their consciences and karmas.

Maybe they can live on anger and bitterness, I cannot. I refuse to spend another moment on those who would use someone’s transsexual history as a weapon. I’m proud of the woman I have grown into. I offer no apologies for the person I am nor will I apologize to Andrea James, Calpernia Addams, Kim Pearson of TYFA, or anyone else for my attempt to safeguard transgender youth and the organizations that claim to support them.

Now it's time to move on. It's time I focus on what’s truly important: my life, family, career, and the needs of LGBT youth. So Calpernia and Andrea, I am sorry you never had the chance to live in stealth. I’m sorry your careers are not where you think they should be.  And I hope you each find personal happiness.
