- If I get on the cover of "Men's Health" magazine,

未来形

on the cover of "Men's Health" magazine, ever.

- Wow, that would be-- [cheers and applause]

- Amazing. - Yeah, it would be phenomenal.

Bruce Jenner, opened this whole world up to a lot of people,

and we're all just learning about what that means,

So a really basic understanding of transgender would just be,

you're born--your biological gender is one,

so for example, I was born biologically a female,

yet I identify--my soul identifies as a male.

You were a lesbian for a while. - Yes, yes.

then you thought, "Well, it's going to be the next step"?

So I kind of had a little different story

I feel like some people say that they identified

at at really young age, but I didn't quite have that.

but I didn't come officially to friends and family

- And how were your parents when you said you were gay?

I told my mother that I had a crush on someone,

and the first question she asked me was, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

- Well, good for her for being open-minded

and asking that question and not assuming.

Okay, so you came out to your family when you were 16,

and then why did you feel like you weren't really a lesbian?

Like, it felt like I was a lesbian only because

so that was the title that was put on me,

rather than the title I felt that I identified with.

and I was around the age of 20-- and she said,

And I was just kinda like, "I don't--I don't know,

what are--what are you asking me that question for?"

I didn't really know where it was coming from.

and her voice kind of stuck in the back of my head,

"Do you want to be a boy?" "Do you want to be a boy?"

"Girl that becomes a boy," or "How to grow up to be a man."

it was videos and links and articles and everything.

I think people's fear of like, "Oh, my God,

"if there's--if it's just floating out there,

"then my child is going to just look on the internet

I don't think it works that way, just in case

Nobody--you are what you are, so I don't--

'Cause it sounds like, you know, once you started seeing that,

that made you become a male, but that's not what happened.

- No, it was more like that was the missing puzzle piece.

but I had this missing spot, and I was like,

emotionally it meant to be transgender, I--that was it.

I was like, "This is my ticket. This is the piece."

I had no idea, because I didn't even know it existed.

- And you feel more in-- true to yourself right now.

sitting with you right now, I'm at my most authentic self

- Well, that's all that matters. [applause]
