With trans folks, we have a lot of people accusing us of just playing dress up for whatever reasons, and that's just not true.
I hope I can help convince people there that being transgender is not a big deal and that we are just average people trying to go to school, work, and live good lives.
I studied digital arts and graphic design, and then, at the same time I was studying, I was still doing auditions.
This entire issue of transgender people posing a kind of threat to cisgender women in bathrooms is made up. We are just like everybody else - we go into the bathroom, we keep our heads down, we don't look at anybody.
I'm so glad that all the work that my family and I are doing is yielding positive results and making actual change!
Saying it now sounds obvious, but that can be really hard to remember when you're a trans kid who feels like your world's been turned upside down. Just having someone to see in the media is so empowering and validating.
