It's hard because I think I fall into this in-between space where there's something that's innately feminine about me, and there's also something that's kind of androgynous. I carry myself somewhere in between, and I think my music lends itself to that as well.
There's a willful ignorance. We indulge people who are willfully misrepresenting the facts.
