I think of my gender as a part of my complex humanity.

Some people are both genders. I think you just come out the way you come out, and you have to embrace it honestly.

It's very important to me that people accept me as a transgendered female. But it's ridiculous to a lot of people and I understand that.

I even felt like I liked guys better than women - that men were relevant and women weren't. It took me a while to realize I'd been socialized to have a slighting view of my own gender.

I treat people the way I want to be treated, which makes me odd.

When I was born, there was a very isolated idea of what it meant to be a man or a woman, and you belonged to one gender or the other.

I love to be individual, to step beyond gender.

A lot of people say I seem masculine, but I don't feel it. I feel intrinsically feminine. I'd love to be one of the boys but I always felt a bit on the outside. Maybe my masculine qualities come from overcompensating because I'm not one of the boys.

What I do now defines who I am as a woman and how people see me; they don't see me as a little girl.

I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn't much feminine about me.
