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.

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

Until I really accepted this about myself and got over any of my own transphobia that I had, I really felt like I wouldn't be accepted. I thought I would ruin my life.

When I was really little, it was very clear to me that I felt like a boy, and my friends were all boys.
