I think you get one great love in your life like that, if you're lucky enough, where you hold nothing back. And I'm not saying that's the healthiest way to love either.

I've never been attracted to women sexually and I wanted romance.

And as such, we need to be empathetic and understanding.

If you find yourself in a relationship or even a friendship with someone who's conflicted with their gender identity, just be kind. This is not a life choice. This is something that you are born with. This is like being born with a gene for being tall, short, black, white, gay, straight - it's not a choice.

I grew up very conservatively and traditionally. I wanted to save myself for marriage.

I think we do people a great disservice by putting them on a pedestal and not allowing them to be human.

I call myself out on my mistakes, but in telling the truth, sometimes it stings a little.
