★General memories

• I'm amost certain my Hedwig wasn't a trans woman. I think her gender was a mess to her and she didn't know how to separate it from her trauma. Masculine pronouns didn't seem to fit for her anymore and she was very uncomfortable with the concept of being masculine but I think it's because her abuser kind of pushed her so strongly into femininity because that's what he wanted from her. But after the events of the movie, she kind of took a break from the spotlight and let her fame die down. I saw her in a few tabloid interviews and she said Hedwig was more of a stage name. I can't remember what name she usually went by, but I don't think it was Hansel. She was presenting in more of a flamboyant androgynous way and was ok with any/all pronouns. I always used she/her towards her though, I think I was just used to them.
• The Angry Inch kind of fell apart for awhile and I'm not sure if they ever got back together, or if Hedwig had a solo career.
• Yitzhak (I can't remember if she changed her name) used her time away from music to transition and got into a few different musicals, including Rent! Her and Hedwig sort of drifted apart and I don't think she ever joined the band again but they always kept in contact.
• I stayed in contact with Hedwig too. We never had like a 'heart to heart' but we kind of understood that we both felt bad for what happened. We mostly talked in emails and some phone calls. We never got back together.
• She did really well honestly. She really stabilized herself after source events, got help to cope with trauma, learned a lot about herself and other people.
• I feel awful for how I treated her. I was a kid, only 17 when we met, and she was in her late 20s. She was looking for something I couldn't give her and I was just so overwhelmed all the time by everything. The thing I said about her after the limo accident was horrible but my manager told me to say it and I didn't know what else to do. I really did care about her but I was such a snot nosed prick. We both had a lot of growing up to do.
