mom healthy care
What mom cares about most is that I'm happy, healthy and enjoying my life.
kids parent speak
A lot of parents never speak to their transgender kids again that's not the case in my family.
mom hurt betrayal
Deep down, my mom had long suspected I was gay... Much of her anger and hurt came from her sense of betrayal that she was the last to be told.
birthday stuff shaving
I always wanted to shave. It is a very natural process. For my birthday I got a lot of shaving stuff.
confusing pressure fit
As you get older it's more confusing. Suddenly, there's more pressure to fit in to your assigned gender.
transition transgender rejected
When I realised I was transgender I was so afraid of what my transition would do to everyone else in my life and how they would react to it and would I be rejected?
mother mean people
It really bothers me when I see people doing my mother in drag. I mean, just imagine if you saw people doing that with your mother.
self important
Being self-supporting is important to me.
kids parent blame
Parents have to understand: if your kid isn't you, don't blame the kid.
gay movement way
Obviously the transgender movement has not progressed in the way that the gay and lesbian movement has. But Im an activist - thats just the kind of person I am.
people risk body
I thought, transgender people are much worse off than I am. That's why they're willing to risk everything to be who they are. But the older I got, the harder it got to stay in my body.
eye issues able
For me, it was never a question of whether or not I was transgender. It was a question of what I'd be able to handle transitioning and having to do it in the public eye. One of the issues that was hard for me to overcome was the fear of that.
I came out around 25 publicly.
luxury
I don't have the luxury of doing things privately.
