Laverne Cox Talks Protecting Trans Lives for Pride Month: Legacy Maker
All the world’s a stage, and Lennon Torres is going to dance her heart out on it.
The Dance Moms alum has seen some big changes in the past 12 months. On March 2, 2021, she began her medical transition. On May 30, 2021, she publicly came out as trans in a “life update” on TikTok. Since then, she’s become a inspirational voice in the LGBTQ+ community as she documents her journey on social media.
Now, one year since starting a new chapter in her life, Lennon sat down with E! News in an exclusive interview in honor of Transgender Day of Visibility to discuss the ups and downs she experienced during her transition and the importance of sharing trans stories.
“There are so many different steps you have to go through—some good, some bad,” the 23-year-old said of transitioning. “I’m happy to be here, but it can be really challenging.”

E! News: Take us back to March 2, 2021. What was that day like for you?
Lennon Torres: I remember that day very clearly for many reason, but primarily because it was the day after my mom’s birthday. It was just a really exciting time. Everyone in my family was working or had school, and so I actually went to my appointment by myself, which was weird but special. I remember getting in the car being like, “Am I driving to Walgreens to pick up my hormones right now?” It was such a cool day with so many different emotions.
E! News: And how was the journey to that day like?
