And I do think, how cool would it be to have a kid with a man that had both of our DNA and looked like us — what woman would not want that? But at the end of the day, I have to think of reality and that this is my life, and if he can’t accept that … “

Billie Lee Vanderpump Rules
Billie is a cast member of Vanderpump Rules although she once said in an interview that she was looking for a job at SUR restaurant and unlike other cast members she wasn’t trying to get on the show.
“Honestly, as an activist, you don’t get paid. You don’t make money! I needed a job, and I had a friend who knew Lisa, and they were like, ‘Oh, she loves the LGBT community, you should get a job at one of her restaurants. I applied, and I met with [Lisa], and I got the job. And she’s like my fairy godmother. I feel like she should have a wand because she just makes things happen and she inspires me.”
Since getting cast on the show she is using her platform to help the trans community. She said:
“I just want my trans brothers and sisters to live a better and more accepting life. As a child, I wasn’t accepted, and even when I first transitioned, society did not accept me, I felt like I was beaten up nonstop, I didn’t have opportunities, I had to do really awful things to survive and I just don’t want that for anyone.
If I can speak my truth and be vulnerable on television in front of everyone, even when it’s difficult, that’s what I need to do so the younger generation can be more accepted and have a safer environment.”
Billie Lee Gender Reassignment
When Billie left her hometown she discussed her gender identity issues with a therapist and she immediately started physical transformation which began with hormones and later surgeries. While transitioning Billie has revealed that she endured lot as she couldn’t even get a job for an entire year which led to some dark days:
“You’re so vulnerable when you transition — you start hormones. You’re starting puberty as an adult, and you’re literally… you’re an open wound. You can easily be knocked down or hurt. I couldn’t get a job for a whole year because I was awkward looking. In Los Angeles, you have to have headshots [to work in a restaurant], and I was in between. The opportunities weren’t there, and I went to a dark place where I didn’t have any income. I had to do… not so pretty things to make money. Now, I’m okay with it.
Back in the day, I wasn’t proud of it. It was survival mode. As trans people, sometimes we have to do what we have to do. Once I had all my surgeries, the red carpet rolled out for me. It was like, ‘Here, you want a job?’ All the guys wanted to date me. I was the cool kid all of a sudden. That’s a society for you.”
Billie Lee Facial Feminization Surgery
During an interview with Refinery 29 in 2019, Billie Lee revealed that facial feminization is less talked about compared to sex reassignment surgery yet it’s the most valuable and important.
Billie said she underwent the surgery about a decade ago because she had to go through puberty as a boy and the testosterone affected her in a negative way. She grew more masculine which got her depressed. Her nose extended out pretty far, her eyelids were pretty low and she had a bit of Adam’s apple.
Billie revealed that after she got facial feminization “the red carpet was rolled out for me. I remember going into my first job interview for a serving position afterward, and seeing how people acted around me. They weren’t asking questions about what I was. People would look at me and think, Oh, this is a girl, and now I can hire her because I know who she is, and what she is. I felt like I could have whatever I wanted.”
Before the surgery, Billie said she went through a lot of rejection as people couldn’t put her in a box of male and female.
Billie Lee and Lala Kent
Billie and Lala Kent are both casts on Vanderpump Rules. In season 6 the two were best friends but in season 7 they seem to be a bit distance. In season 7 they seemed to be pulled further apart after Lala sided with Katie who did a ‘Ladies Night’ but neglected to invite Billie. Billie said Katie left her out because she was transgender but Katie insisted she simply hadn’t involved Billie in the planning aspect because they weren’t on the best of terms, and that she was always welcome to come.
