I don't have the luxury of doing things privately.

I came out around 25 publicly.

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

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'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.

A lot of parents never speak to their transgender kids again that's not the case in my family.

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