Hi Cas :) Thanks for being so awesome and showing me around the theater the other day. I was wondering if you maybe wanted to hang out some time? PS. You looked totally hot.

I haven't really. That day we met, it was the second time I ever truly felt beautiful. Thr first time was when all my friends bought me a prom dress and gave me a makeover when I wasn't going to go because I felt like a faker. You know I'm trans, right? I mean, I don't want to assume you just read about me when you aren't even really obligated to. What? Oh, shit, no. No! I don't mean I gave up on a relationship because Justin believed in me, just that I don't know how to believe in myself. Justin's more like 10000% gay and as in love with Sash as anyone can be. Probably even more than that even. Well, despite excellent hormones and hormone blockers, I never grew any natural ones of my own. I struggled with self-image... struggle... I had it done and it didn't even really help. I'm sorry if you were, um, trying to check out an au naturale chick.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't read some about you. I'm going to be working with you, so I read about all the cast. But mostly, I asked Justin about you. Then I asked Sash. Before that, I was going to ask you on a date, but they both said you were just out of a relationship that was special to you, so I didn't want to be forward or forceful. But I'd still like to hang out with you. Just before you think the reason I'm not asking is that you just told me you're trans. I knew that before I came to New York. I read some of the press releases when you got the part because I researched the show when I was scouted. Am I making you uncomfortable? I really didn't mean to, I'm sorry. I wasn't just checking you out. More like... admiring you.
