It Really Bothers Me When

I Wanted To Show America A Different Kind Of Man. If There Was Someone Like Me When I Was Growing Up, My Whole Life Would Have Been Different.

Obviously The Transgender Movement Has Not Progressed In The Way That The Gay And Lesbian Movement Has. But Im An Activist - Thats Just The Kind Of Person I Am.

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.

Gender Is Between Your Ears And Not Between Your Legs.
