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.
