life waited
I've waited my whole life to be able to have body hair - but I never thought I'd have back hair. But what are you going to do, right?
felt male time
I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn't much feminine about me.
good man
I feel really good, I feel like a man now, and I'm really happy.
children regular watch
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.
felt horrifying literally
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.
attracted confused sexual
I confused gender identity with sexual orientation. Your gender identity is about who you are, how you feel, the sex that you feel yourself to be. Sexual orientation is who you're attracted to.
deal felt lesbians wished
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.
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.
kids parent blame
Parents have to understand: if your kid isn't you, don't blame the kid.
