- I never knew my father. He was never married to my mother; he was never a part of my life. It was just my mom, my brother and me.

- Whether you’re transgender or not, most of us get to a point in our lives where we can no longer lie to ourselves.
- We shouldn’t demonize the woman who wears high heels and we shouldn’t demonize the woman who doesn’t wear high heels. We should accept all forms of comportment.
