Gender is between your ears and not between your legs.

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 felt like one of the boys. My friends were boys. In school I related to boys.

It really bothers me when I see people doing my mother in drag. I mean, just imagine if you saw people doing that with your mother.

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