“I'm a patient person. I can wait for my prince charming.”
“I was never a boy. I always was a girl in my heart, and although I was presented as a boy to the public, inside I was feminine. It was OK to be that because that's just who I was, and I can't change that. I was born that way.”
“If people are going to judge me without fully understanding the content of my character, then their opinion just isn't worth it.”
“In the end, everyone just deserves the right to be their authentic selves, just be who they are.”
“I think that's important - that transgender individuals are just like everyone else. We have our interests, our hobbies, our things we like to do. And people have to understand that.”
“I'm the youngest of four siblings and the baby of the family. My family just treated me like anyone else growing up. They taught me that everyone has a special and unique trait about them, and that mine is that I have a girl brain and a boy body.”
“I look at people for their souls, and I can see myself falling in love with anyone after getting to know them and developing a relationship.”
“The more words I learned, the more I started to verbalize my feelings. Whenever my mom or dad would compliment me by saying something like 'Good boy,' I'd immediately correct them. 'No. Good girl.'”
“Being transgender has completely turned boys off from liking me.”
“Being transgender is not just a medical transition.”
“I know, for me, when I was depressed, I didn't want to talk to my friends at all when I was depressed. If they tried to help me, I would kind of back away from them.”
“I've always known exactly who I am. I was a girl trapped in a boy's body.”
“'I Am Jazz' was more for children to understand what it means to be transgender, but with 'Being Jazz,' I wanted to get the universal message across that we are all just people, and we have to live our lives authentically.”
“As a 15-year-old teenage girl, I can attest to the fact that boys dominate most conversations between girls my age.”
“I wish everything was gender neutral. I wish we weren't separated by boundaries like pink and blue and little things like that. I wish we could choose how we express ourselves without hate.”
“I wouldn't change myself at all. Being transgender makes me who I am: a strong person, a confident person. Being transgender gives me my personality.”
“I've always loved mermaids!”
“It's something you're born with, and you realize that you're trapped in the wrong body. It's not like one day you're like, 'I want to be transgender!'”
“Hormone blockers changed and saved my life.”
“I always say I want to leave this world in a better state than when I arrived, and I continue to live by that message. So I'm going to do what I can to make the world a better place but also just make sure that I'm happy as well.”
