Change Quote by Pooja Bedi
“Interestingly, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, who is a transgender, was really close to me. She used to tell me that she was ready to change her sexuality for me. In fact, she would touch me and hug me like a man. Her voice would change when she spoke to me and called me darling and it became rather macho. I think it was really cute and lots of fun.”

![“I used to live with Teri Toye in the '80s - a really gorgeous transsexual. She won Girl of the Year in 1986 [I think] as a Chanel model and she introduced this whole way of slinky, slow-motion modeling. It was amazing that the girl of the year was actually born male.” quote by Nan Goldin](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0aa/nan-goldin-6289_80s_i-used-to-live-with-teri-toye-in-the-80s_2099773.jpg)
