I was inspired by two transgender people, Jazz Jennings and Corey Maison. When I was little I never really understood what was going on with me. I really thought that something was wrong. I wasn't the only one in my family to notice that though. One of my older sisters, Heather, had helped me understand more about who I was she showed me a video of someone the same age as me who was going through the same change.

The person online was Jazz Jennings and she used to be a boy. The was when she finally realized that she was transgender.

Transgender people should be treated with the same dignity and respect as anyone else and be able to live,  and be respected , according to their gender identity. But transgender people often face serious discrimination and mistreatment at work, school, and in their families and communities. For example, transgender people are more likely to: Be fired or denied a job Face harassment and bullying at school Become homeless or live in extreme poverty Be evicted or denied housing or access to a shelter Be denied access to critical medical care Be incarcerated or targeted by law enforcement Face abuse and violence Living without fear of discrimination and violence and being supported and affirmed in being who they are is critical for allowing transgender people to live healthy, safe, and fulfilling lives. In recent years, laws, policies and attitudes around the country have changed significantly, allowing more transgender people than ever to live fuller, safer, and healthier l
