"I'm not trying to change the world. I'm just trying to make it a little more honest."

"I'm not a villain. I'm a human being who made a choice."

"My gender transition is not a joke. It's not a political statement. It's my life."

"The feeling of being able to walk outside and feel the sun on my skin and the fresh air was just incredible."

"I'm not going to let anyone dim my light. I'm going to shine brightly."
