Who Inspired Me

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. Instead of wanting to be a boy she wanted to be a girl. Her name is Jazz Jennings. All throughout my life I had just watched videos on Jazz Jennings just to understand more about who I was. I always hid who I was from my parents because I knew that they wouldn't be as supportive as Heather was. As I got older I started to change how I dressed, if my mom picked out clothes for me then they would just sit in my closet and I would never wear them. I always wanted for her to buy me boy clothes so whenever she took me shopping I would walk to the boys section and she would say I am not getting you that. When we had started this project I looked at her videos again and I felt that I could tell anyone about me and feel like I can be more confident. I had started to look at more videos of transgender kids and I saw the video of Corey Maison and I was inspired even more. When Marlowe told me that she knew Corey's mom she said that she could try and set up an interview with Corey and I. When she said this I was really excited, I would finally get to talk to someone who went through the same change that I am going through right now. Corey was the most sweetest and nicest person that I have met. I hope one day I can meet her in person.

What The Difference Between Transgender and Being Intresex

People sometimes confuse being transgender and being intersex. Intersex people have reproductive anatomy or genes that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female, which is often discovered at birth. Being transgender, meanwhile, has to do with your internal knowledge of your gender identity. A transgender person is usually born with a body and genes that match a typical male or female, but they know their gender identity to be different. Some people think that determining who is male or female at birth is a simple matter of checking the baby's external anatomy, but there's actually a lot more to it. Every year, an estimated one in 2,000 babies are born with a set of characteristics that can't easily be classified as "male" or "female." People whose bodies fall in the vast continuum between "male" and "female" are often known as  intersex  people. There are many different types of intersex conditions. For example, some people a

What Transgender means and How You Know Someone Is Transgender

Transgender is a term used to describe people whose gender identity differ from the sex they where assigned at birth. Transgender is used as an adjective and should never be used as a noun. Transgender should never end with -ed.  Many transgender people will transition into a sex that differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. As part of the transition process, many transgender people want to change their bodies to align with their gender. Some work with doctors for hormone therapy, and some will undergo surgeries as well. People will realize that they are transgender at many different ages. Some can track it back to when they were younger but others may need more time to realize that they are transgender. Some people may spend years feeling like they don't fit in not really knowing why, or may try to avoid thinking about their gender out of fear, shame, or confusion. Trying to repress or change one's gender identity doesn't work; in fact, it can be very painful and
