I'll be the first to admit that I am probably too sensitive for the internet For a while, many of the transphobic messages I received online started to get in my head and cause me to question several of my core beliefs and my identity. This video is all about that experience and how I came out on the other side with even more trans pride than before ...also please do not harass or be cruel to anyone featured in that video that would very much defeat the message I'm trying to send.
