I just try to be friendly, and I just say 'Hi, how are you doing?' You know, 'Good to meet you. I was that Navy SEAL, you know, transgender, you might've seen me on TV.' And they go, 'Oh, oh wow.' And then they realize that maybe trying to get into a fight with me wouldn't be a good idea. Maybe they should be nice. but I don't want you to beat me up and kill me. You don't have to like me, I don't care. But please don't kill me.

I would put nail polish on. I could have, you know, a pair of my sister's shoes on, it was like a reset, it was like a vacation for me. So I had my vacation away from Chris.

I was just trying to fit in to the stereotype American dream, exactly what my parents and everyone expected of me, i met someone who's -- who's awesome, you know, we got along good.

I'm not a gay man, I'm not a drag queen, I am not maybe total dude, and I'm not total feminine, I'm not totally female, i think I'm living more in that gray world.

And maybe set an example for some of the younger generation -- just say that I'm still a human being, and I deserve dignity and respect.
