“In covering breaking news, there's no better way than using a helicopter.”

“I was told I shouldn't transition, and if I did, I'd never work again. That really bothered me.”

“True transgenders do hypermasculine things.”

“We filed suit against YouTube before the Google purchase. At the time I went after YouTube, I thought it was a small company ripping off our copyrights.”

“I know the way this city works. We have one of the most corrupt cities in the country. The reason it's so corrupt is because everybody thinks it's honest, and it's not. You know the truth when you go to Chicago. The difference here in Los Angeles is you believe it's honest - and that's dangerous.”

“If someone asks about sexual reassignment surgery, you are supposed to say, 'Why are we talking about that?' But I am a post-op transsexual. And I am a reporter. If you can explain and talk about it, you demystify it. And if you demystify it, it's not an issue.”

“I'm not going to lie to people.”

“The Jewish Orthodox community is playing footsie with the alt-right.”

“Everything about the Kardashian family's public image centers around shock and dysfunction - the very image the trans people are trying to shed.”

“I'm not loved by GLAAD or by HRC. I'm not going to be a spokesman for those groups, which are based on fundraising.”

“2014 was a good year for transgender rights.”

“On May 6, 2013, I started hormone replacement therapy and began transitioning. I was very depressed, which is not uncommon for people with gender dysphoria. Two hours after my first estrogen injection, my depression went away for the first time in my life.”

“When I was going through transition, I didn't push it on everyone.”

“I am not covering stories as a transgender reporter. I'm a reporter who is transgender. Otherwise, it would be like having a black reporter only cover stories about blacks or a Hispanic reporter covering stories about Hispanics.”

“If what the transgender movement seeks is acceptance, association with the Kardashian circus is the last thing it needs.”

“That's violence, terrible violence, to tell a woman to sit down and shut up.”
