Why can’t she be mentioned as just a great pianist? Why must her gender be the hook to hang her story on?

@Mr Noidall Her gender affects her life and affects the way she is received in professional situations. There is not a plethora of famous transgender classical musicians. By talking about the struggles she may have faced, not only will she open the eyes of others to ways they can help make it easier for trans artists to be seen and heard, but she may inspire a young trans musician who thought it would be impossible to keep their head up and continue putting themself out there.

Sara, you’re an inspiration to young trans people everywhere. Your story tells us that it’s never too late to make changes in your life, and that you can never let people keep you from doing what you love. I hope you keep playing for many years to come, and good luck on your endeavor to play all 21 sonatas.
