While being tossed around the world from place to place as a teenager, I wasn't really tethered to any place or anyone.

I can only ask of those who care about me and the issues in my case to support me and spread the word about what is going on.

I believe that the trans movement is at a crossroads. We have achieved an unprecedented level of visibility in the last couple of years. However, that's not the same thing as equality.

On a transparency front, I would say that I certainly dream of a world in which our local, state, and national and international governments and other organizations have a 21st century, digital-era transparency built into them by default.

If an organization produces a document, it should be made public as soon as possible.

Day-to-day life is as simple as it is routine - though my days are often long and very busy.

Even if I didn't have the support that I have, I would still be fighting the same fights, and I would still be the same person that I am today.
