I want to create a place where trans people and our allies could come together to share experiences, information and ideas. Being transgender or loving someone who is transgender can be challenging in our society and I hope that members of this site will also use this space as a place to support and encourage each other. Together, we can strengthen our community and open the hearts and minds of others.

Obviously the transgender movement has not progressed in the way that the gay and lesbian movement has. But Im an activist - thats just the kind of person I am.

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.

For me, it was never a question of whether or not I was transgender. It was a question of what I'd be able to handle transitioning and having to do it in the public eye. One of the issues that was hard for me to overcome was the fear of that.

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

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.
