“A lot of people in the community really advocate for people being out, owning who they are, and spreading awareness. If I was out all the time, I would feel more dysphoric than if I'm just able to live my life as a guy and not have to worry. I don't think it's a selfish thing to want to live a life that would make you happier. The whole reason I transitioned was so that I could be happier. In the end, it's everyone's own life. You've got to live it the way you want.” ActivismAuthenticityLgbtqTransgender Book:American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era Source: American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era
