"Progress can't happen just from trans people being out in the open. Society also has to truly accept transgender individuals. If society is capable of treating us equally, then we can and will live authentically."
"I'm honestly the luckiest kid in the world. Without [my mom], I wouldn't be able to be the proud, confident transgender woman that I am today. I embraced who I am entirely, and I attribute that to her and my dad and my entire family giving me the love and support that I need at that early age and allowing me to live my life as my authentic self."
"For transgender kids who are struggling, I want them to know they're not alone. They shouldn't be afraid to step out of their shadows."
"You can judge me all you want but you don't understand who I am or the content of my character. It motivates me, because when I see the comments from haters, I go, 'Looks like I need to educate more people.'"
