Rachel was born a man but she transitioned and began identifying as a woman in 2011. According to the Washington Post, she started seeing a therapist in 2001 and at around 2008 she started to grow out her hair before publicly announcing herself as a transgender woman. She took voice lessons to sound more like a woman. Rachel, however, doesn’t like to discuss whether she took hormones or had surgery as she calls it a private medical matter.
