I always wanted to shave. It is a very natural process. For my birthday I got a lot of shaving stuff.

I'm just a regular guy. All these ideas that children shouldn't watch me, I'm going to be confusing, all this stuff, it's crazy.

A lot of parents never speak to their transgender kids again; that's not the case in my family.

I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn't much feminine about me.

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.

It felt as if my body was, like, literally betraying me because I went from a very athletic, straight-up-and-down little kid to a very curvaceous woman, and it was just horrifying to me.
