I would hope that one day there will be a time when it's not so much about transgender, it's just people will just see us as women.
For me, I know I am a trans activist and I try my best to stand up when the time is right, but at the same time, I don't always want to be considered transgender around my friends and people at my daughter's school. I just want to be considered a woman.
It's important to have transgender representation because we represent the forthcoming generation, and their new perception on the standard of beauty - which I believe is being true to yourself, loving yourself and others.
But if you look at Victoria's Secret models, honestly, young girls don't necessarily look up to them for the healthiest reasons. It's more about the envy, the desire to look aesthetically best: it's an unattainable, elitist mindset.
Growing up, I didn't really watch the Victoria's Secret fashion show too much. I really just saw folks who weren't real to me, so it didn't really interest me.
I don't know any lingerie brands that really embrace transgender women at all, to be honest.
When you transition, it's a long process. Some people are so, like, ignorant about it. They're like, 'Oh she's a girl tomorrow.' It's not like that. You have to literally, you take all this medication. It's really hard on your body.
Honestly, when I was a boy and I was out as a gay boy, I never really dealt with anyone bullying me or anything like that.
The way I see things is that, I think that transgender people are super brave. If you're a female to male, male to female, if you're that brave to take control of your own body and make it however you want it to be, more power to you.
I've learned that my word carries weight, and that's something I have to always have to keep in mind.
Courtney Love gave me advice on how to stay focused. She told me I have a lot of positivity and I have a lot of light and to just stay on that path, because it's easy to become affected by the negativity.
I want to be a successful trans woman burlesque performer.
I want to be a mom. I want to be a wife.
I'm very passionate and believe that every time the LGBT community is featured in the media, people are learning about us.
I always love working with other creative talent.
My coffee usually is very light, very sweet with milk preferably Almond Milk but if not available I take whole milk but I'm trying to go vegan, so I try for at least soy.
My favorite hip hop album would be the 'Miseducation of Lauren Hill.'
Loyalty is my favorite quality in a 'bestie.'
I want to be able to supply the knowledge that transgender women need in order to live peacefully and become accepted among all men and women.
I consider myself an activist for women like me, who want to be confident and don't want to be judged.
