I Grew Up In A Time When

When I Was Nine Years Old, Star Trek Came On, I Looked At It And I Went Screaming Through The House, 'come Here, Mum, Everybody, Come Quick, Come Quick, There's A Black Lady On Television And She Ain't No Maid!' I Knew Right Then And There I Could Be Anything I Wanted To Be.

Now, I've Always Known That There Were Bullies In The World. We've Seen A Lot Of It In Politics Lately As Well As In Daily Life. You See It Where People Who May Be Stronger, Or Bigger, Or Better With Verbiage Than Other Folks... Show Off. To Me, That's What Bullying Is, Showing Off. It's Saying, I'm Better Than You, I Can Take You Down. Not Just Physically, But Emotionally.

Well, One Of The Things We Felt Was Missing From The Greater Conversation Is That Transgender People Have Been Living And Working In America For Years...people May Think It's A "new" Thing; It's Not...so We Wanted To Show Not Just The Political Side, Which Is What You See With Caitlyn Jenner. And Not The Other Side With Laverne Cox, Who's Great.

Should I Be Worried About Being A Slave And Being Returned To Slavery? Because Certain Things Happened In The Constitution That Had To Change.
