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

I believe if we have something that we love to do, that can save our lives. That can get us through.

I have always been aware that I can never represent all trans people. No one or two or three trans people can. This is why we need diverse media representations of trans folks to multiply trans narratives in the media and depict our beautiful diversities.

Seeing a black transgender woman embracing and loving everything about herself might be inspiring to some other folks.

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.

The preoccupation with transition and with surgery objectifies trans people, and we don't get to really deal with the real lived experiences.
