Visibility is not equality.

Donations to my legal defense fund really help, and I think keeping me motivated and spreading the message are also very important.

I really don't care how I am perceived by people on the outside.

I think we can achieve meaningful change, but only if we demand that the institutions themselves change their behavior.

I am merely asking for a first chance to live my life outside the [U.S. Disciplinary Barracks] as the person I was born to be.

I wanted the American public to know that not everyone in Iraq and Afghanistan were targets that needed to be neutralized, but rather people who were struggling to live in the pressure cooker environment of what we call asymmetric warfare.

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.
