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.

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 want people to see the truth.

It's not my goal to be a leader or spokesperson, or anything like that.

I have served a sufficiently long sentence. I am not asking for a pardon of my conviction.

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.

There is far more to transitioning in the public eye than money, public relations, and logistics.
