The Olivia own explained well in his Youtube channel, where it is described as a private person and quiet, but I thought to share their experience publicly could be motivational for spiritual people, and informative for scientists.

He wanted to become the woman God wished it to be, not wanting to lose weight, experimentation or other reasons.
