Gender is between your ears and not between your legs.

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.

Gender is between your ears and not between your legs.

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

So when I was about 13 or 14, I realized I was attracted to women and then made the assumption that I was a lesbian, and didn't realize that that wasn't the case. It was the fact that I was a man and a heterosexual man. The issue wasn't my sexual orientation, but rather my gender identity.

As you get older it's more confusing. Suddenly, there's more pressure to fit in to your assigned gender.

What mom cares about most is that I'm happy, healthy and enjoying my life.
