What Mom Cares About Most Is That

People Who Don't Have Gender Dysphoria Aren't Going To Catch It By Watching Me Dance On Television.

Around 2001, I Started Analyzing Lesbians. I Started To Realize That Even Really Butch-acting Or -dressing Women Still Had A Strong Female Identity That I Never Had.

For Me, It Was Never A Question Of Whether Or Not I Was Transgender. It Was A Question Of What I'd Be Able To Handle Transitioning And Having To Do It In The Public Eye. One Of The Issues That Was Hard For Me To Overcome Was The Fear Of That.

Parents Have To Understand: If Your Kid Isn't You, Don't Blame The Kid.

When I Realised I Was Transgender I Was So Afraid Of What My Transition Would Do To Everyone Else In My Life And How They Would React To It And Would I Be Rejected?
