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?

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.

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.

Gender is between your ears and not between your legs.

Being self-supporting is important to me.

I came out around 25 publicly.
