People who don't have gender dysphoria aren't going to catch it by watching me dance on television.
From Chaz Bono
It felt as if my body was, like, literally betraying me because I went from a very athletic, straight-up-and-down little kid to a very curvaceous woman, and it was just horrifying to me.
Gender is between your ears and not between your legs.
Deep down, my mom had long suspected I was gay... Much of her anger and hurt came from her sense of betrayal that she was the last to be told.
As you get older it's more confusing. Suddenly, there's more pressure to fit in to your assigned gender.
I always wanted to shave. It is a very natural process. For my birthday I got a lot of shaving stuff.
What mom cares about most is that I'm happy, healthy and enjoying my life.
I feel really good, I feel like a man now, and I'm really happy.
I don't have the luxury of doing things privately.
I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn't much feminine about me.
