Fortunately, unlike my teachers and classmates, my parents never forced gender roles or even a ended identity on me. I grew up on a farm, so all that mattered was working hard.

When I walk down the street in a dress, people think I'm transgender. The issue isn't that I'm embarrassed to be thought of as transgender: the issue is that people treat transgender individuals so violently, especially if they think it's male to female.

When I'm a gender capitalist in the fashion world, I basically can go to any casting that I want to as long as somebody likes my face.

A gender capitalist is someone who takes advantage of opportunities given to people based on their perceived sex or gender.
