The best thing about being a girl is now I don't have to pretend to be a boy. Before I transitioned, I was just pretending to be a boy, but now I'm a girl, and I'm a lot happier.

One thing I wish I could do but I can't because I'm a girl is I can't be treated like I wanted to. If I was a girl, my life would be very strange and odd. Well, I wouldn't be one of those fancy girls; I would just be like a tomboy.

So, you have to appreciate what you have more than what you don't have.

So, do you say better sounds like bitter? I know it's my... and I hate those! Um, dude, what do you think about girls? What shoes do chickens wear? The answer is [Music].

Was it boring? A little bit. How many photos did we take? 300? No, I think it's like sort of like 420 in that [Music] range.
