Thanks so much for doing that.

I’m proud of who I am, transgender and all, and am not about to hide. Instead, I intend to continue to stand on rooftops and shout, “I’m trans and I’m OK!” This week that means that I’m speaking on transgender legal issues at the University of Arizona law school as part of Tucson’s Trans Awareness Week and presenting the keynote address at Tucson’s TDOR ceremony, an honor for which I am very grateful.
