Looking back on this its very crazy I was like that at one point. Its been about one and a half years since this was shot. I am now 20 years old and very different. I am so thankful i transitioned and am so much happier and outgoing now.

my friends wonder why i constanly watch "Our America" and i guess it's because it's a good way to understand things from multiple points of view.

It's amazing to see so many people feel like myself. I'm just coming to terms with being transgendered at age 20, and it's honestly a very scary thing to deal with. The only thing I can say to people without these problems is to not make going out, living and learning to be ourselves in the world a hard thing for us. I mean, you wouldn't for anyone else, right? We're people too. We just have very controversial problems.
