Dorfman is no longer interested in playing “male” characters. And though her transitioning can affect her career, she says she is done with playing male characters as she is now a woman.
It’s impossible for me to separate my personal and professional transition, because my body and face are linked to my career. I’m most recognized for playing a bitchy gay poet on a soap opera, and I feared that by actively transitioning in my personal life, I would lose whatever career I’ve been told I’m supposed to have.
Dorfman landed her first role as a girl last year and is looking for ways to continue playing in movies and television shows with her new reintroduced self.
