A Lot Of Parents Never

I Absolutely Believe In Assimilation. I Don't Believe I'm Any Different From Straight People. My Wants And Needs Are The Same As Theirs. I Don't Look At Sexual Orientation As That Big Of A Deal. It's Just An Orientation.

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

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.

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?
