When I Realised I Was Transgender I

There's A Gender In Your Brain And A Gender In Your Body. For 99 Percent Of People, Those Things Are In Alignment. For Transgender People, They're Mismatched. That's All It Is. It's Not Complicated, It's Not A Neurosis. It's A Mix-up. It's A Birth Defect, Like A Cleft Palate.

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.

I Came Out Around 25 Publicly.

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?

A Lot Of Parents Never Speak To Their Transgender Kids Again That's Not The Case In My Family.
