I wanted to show America a different kind of man. If there was someone like me when I was growing up, my whole life would have been different.
I want to create a place where trans people and our allies could come together to share experiences, information and ideas. Being transgender or loving someone who is transgender can be challenging in our society and I hope that members of this site will also use this space as a place to support and encourage each other. Together, we can strengthen our community and open the hearts and minds of others.
Gender is between your ears and not between your legs.
In Southern California we are more prepared for disasters than they were in the Gulf (of Mexico) area.
I always had this idea that, 'Sure, I wished I was a boy and felt more like a boy and all of that.' But I wasn't, so I would deal with it. And I for some reason thought there were other lesbians that felt that way and that was just part of that community.
The problem people are seeing is they want new leadership and that's not offering enough new leadership.
I feel so much more comfortable that I've ever been. I've felt male as far back as I can remember.

I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn't much feminine about me.
I feel really good, I feel like a man now, and I'm really happy.
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.
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.
