<p>Thirty-year-old Tommy Dorfman is engaged to &#8220;a gay girl&#8221; about a year after ending a five-year-long marriage and publicly identifying as a transgender woman, the star announced this week.</p>
<p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6LAeuCO4hH2lhAPnGZx8K1">Speaking</a> to actress Rachel Bilson on her &#8220;Broad Ideas&#8221; podcast, Dorfman revealed the partner in question is a woman who doesn&#8217;t fetishize the &#8220;Jane the Virgin&#8221; alum for being transgender.</p>
<p>“I fell in love with someone who doesn’t fetishize me,” Dorfman <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/tommy-dorfman-transition-mental-health-1235003113/">told</a> Bilson. The star <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/08/tommy-dofrman-engaged-gay-girl-rachel-bilson-podcast-broad-ideas">described</a> the bride-to-be as “just a gay girl,” adding that their relationship is &#8220;very affirming.”</p>
<p>Last year, Dorfman, known as Ryan Shaver on &#8220;13 Reasons Why,&#8221; split from Peter Zurkuhlen after they were married for five years.</p>
<p>“I knew I was interested in women in a way that I hadn’t really been aware of since high school,” Dorfman <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/08/tommy-dofrman-engaged-gay-girl-rachel-bilson-podcast-broad-ideas">said</a> during the podcast. “I had this unresolved, unexplored thing. I was like, ‘This is the year that I’m gonna go on some dates with girls and feel that out again, and not feel ashamed about it.’”</p>

<p>Around the same time as the split, the star publicly identified as a woman and announced last August the use of hormones to transition.</p>
<p>The transition would have come sooner, Dorfman said, were it not for the artist&#8217;s roles and the delay they caused.</p>
<p>“I think if I hadn’t booked that job I would have transitioned a lot sooner,” Dorfman said, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/tommy-dorfman-13-reasons-why-delayed-transition-1235200369/">according</a> to The Hollywood Reporter. “I think because of my work being so tied to my body and face and identity, or whatever [a character] identified as, it delayed some of my growth and some of my maturation in my 20s. I made decisions that were just not aligned with how I really was or what I wanted — but out of fear.”</p>
<p>While still a young adult, Dorfman started to live a sober lifestyle after battling alcoholism, which the entertainer compared to body dysphoria.</p>
<p>“I think if you’re living with dysphoria, it’s not so dissimilar to living actively in alcoholism or addiction,” Dorfman said. “You’re living in a fog. You’re living underwater, basically.”</p>
<p>“For me, I always felt like other people had a guidebook for life that I just did not [have],” the artist continued. “I would always be like, ‘How did you know how to brush your teeth twice a day?’ That’s crazy. Or, ‘You know how to make a bed?’ Or these simple basic human things that were just not available to me. Or, like, emotions. I was like, ‘You feel emotions outside of acting? That’s weird.’ The acting was the only way I could feel things until I started transitioning. Then it was like, boom!”</p>
