“I remember, as a child, lying in my bed at night praying that I would wake up the next day and be a girl, to be my authentic self, and to just have my family be proud of me. I remember looking into the mirror struggling to say just two words, 'I'm transgender.'”

“Transgender people frequently face bias in court and are assigned unsupportive public defenders, factors which lead to more extreme sentences and longer incarcerations.”

“Trans issues are also environmental issues. They're also healthcare issues. They're also national security issues.”

“From the very beginning, I always tried to make dialogue flow comfortably; I always did that to make it seem more authentic.”

“A lot of people talk about their work life, and then their family life, and I don't think it's wise to separate them. It's important to be your authentic self in both of those environments.”

“Give me an authentic woman, and I'm happy.”
