There's not just one trans story. There's not just one trans experience.

When a trans woman gets called a man, that is an act of violence.

Being a black transgender woman in America is really hard. It's been really hard for me. But for me living a lie was much worse. I need to be in my truth. And I've been very, very lucky that I've been able to live my dreams and I believe everyone should have the right to live their dreams. This is America. We're supposed to all have that right.

Writing a book is quite an undertaking and I wouldn't want to do it just to do it.

We shouldn't demonize the woman who wears high heels and we shouldn't demonize the woman who doesn't wear high heels. We should accept all forms of comportment.

I'm so grateful that I had the luxury of transitioning in private. Because when you transition in the public eye, the transition becomes the story.

By doing the work to love ourselves more, I believe we will love each other better.
