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.
I came out around 25 publicly.
luxury
I don't have the luxury of doing things privately.
believe people different
I absolutely believe in assimilation. I don't believe I'm any different from straight people. My wants and needs are the same as theirs. I don't look at sexual orientation as that big of a deal. It's just an orientation.
school boys felt
I felt like one of the boys. My friends were boys. In school I related to boys.
uncomfortable whole-life whole
I had felt uncomfortable as a woman my whole life.
inspirational motivational gay
I've been embraced by a new community. That's what happens when you're finally honest about who you are; you find others like you.
growing-up gay men
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.
heart together-we-can ideas
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.
ears legs gender
Gender is between your ears and not between your legs.
far felt male
I feel so much more comfortable that I've ever been. I've felt male as far back as I can remember.
felt life until
Until I really accepted this about myself and got over any of my own transphobia that I had, I really felt like I wouldn't be accepted. I thought I would ruin my life.
activist bit time
I've been an activist in the LGBT community for a long time. I think nothing's changed, I'm just a little bit more focused on the 'T' now than I was on the 'L' or the 'G.'
