"Every single thing that happens, you wonder if it's a point of contention, you wonder if it's something about you."
"Sometimes transitioning people just get reduced to an identity...it just can't be news anymore that I exist."
"I think people get tired of being tokenized."
"Being transgender in the 21st century...we're the boogeyman du jour."
"The worst days...are when I feel like my community is under siege."
