I just spent 31 minutes listening to one of the most moving, captivating, and courageous women I have ever come across. Her words made me laugh, weep and long to know her and be her best friend.
And thirty one minutes later, I cheered in my living room for a woman I had never met, who had just done one of the bravest things I’d ever seen.

I have long read you, enjoyed you, and laughed my ass off at your writing. However, I have never commented. But this…this deserves a comment. This woman and her family are just awe inspiring. And I am so hopeful that with people out there like this – articulate, intelligent, brave, kind and lovely – we will see an end to the hate and bigotry heaped on this community. Thank you for sharing. This gives me hope.
Amazing.
By the way this easily could be exactly what I wrote after watching your TED talk.
I love her (and you). I want to be adopted by her family.
What a vibrant lady. I was mesmerized by her & her mannerisms. Thanks for sharing this.
simply. amazing. She is so articulate and witty and I could listen to her talk for hours.
I may be one of the very few people in world that hasn’t seen the Matrix movies but I SO SO SO want to support this amazing woman and her unbelievably supportive family that I will now do so.
Love this!
Thank you Brittany for sharing this. Amazing.
im in LOVE with her! so witty, so intelligent, so everything people do not believe transgendered people to be… love it all <3
She is just utterly spell binding. It is no surprise she has become so successful telling stories as she was clearly put on this earth to do so. I was in awe of that speech and I consider it an education as how to respect the transgendered. I just wow….that was really just wow.
I would have to agree. I’ve listened to it multiple times, and I feel like I’m no longer even hearing it, but rather, experiencing it.
She’s just taken my breath away.
