So many people go through life, and they never deal with their own issues, no matter what the issues are - ours happen to be gender identity. But, how many people go through life and just waste an entire life 'cause they'd never deal with themselves to be who they are.

Sexuality is who you are personally attracted to... But gender identity is who you are in your soul.

My entire life, I just wanted a pony, and I couldn't care less about a pair of shoes.

I have struggled with identity all my life. It's not like something that just happened last week.

I had a lot of conversations with my family, my close friends, with my pastor, with God, and kind of came to a revelation that maybe I should be honest with myself about who I am and let that person - this woman who has lived inside me for my entire life - finally have an opportunity to live.

You don't waste your entire life waiting to go back to dust.
