"For me letting go of a whole social milieu whereby everyone had to think how others wanted them to think, only began my liberation. From what I could perceive as my cross dressing. To become a Transgender woman who is not only seen but heard, to be the complete person of my own doing.

"Gender variance is an intelligence. It a way of seeing that without it we will have nobody and live alone. It is a truth behind anima and animus, that gender variance helps us to see the world we live in inclusively, so that we are not bidden by guilt and shame which keeps us hiding in depression."
