In another post, Fox answered whether he hated being a girl for so long, he wrote:
“I had someone ask me when I was speaking to their class about my transition, if I hated that I had to go thru 38 years as a girl…and the answer is pretty simple for me..I wouldn’t change a thing. As much as I knew I was not living my true self, I still experienced some wonderful memories growing up.”

In his bio, Fox mentioned why he should win Survivor 42. He wrote:
