“From my earliest memories, I always knew I was created uniquely and wonderfully different. The hidden secret was... I am a Girl. I grew up with great inner turmoil between two worlds, on one side The Far-Right Evangelical Church led by religious zealots bent on narcissistic control of my life. On the other hand, a hidden life of discovering my True Identity knowing I was different than what society's black and white binary viewpoints had attempted to control my life to be, and I struggled greatly.
As a young adult, I struggled to come to grasp and overcome my inner turmoil of facing the reality that I was indeed Transgender and knew I didn't belong with the boys, I was so different than I was perceived to be that I was alienated and ostracized. Inwardly somehow, I knew my body didn't fit me and my brain operated differently than assumed, I knew I needed to transform my gender.
Eventually publicly coming out at age 18 I went through the chutes and ladders of life from being alienated by my own family and outcasted as a recluse, institutionalized, abandoned driven to Cleveland Ohio's homeless shelter by my own father, demon exorcised, attending Conversion Therapy in the deep south of the United States and even drugged up, molested and raped.
My upbringings became almost an impossible nightmare where I grew up house hopping from partner to partner just to try to find some security unfortunately never having done so and greatly unprepared for life. I was torn between The Religious Control of my Transphobic upbringing and independently setting a new course for my destiny away from the burden of bigotry and regret.
So, I purged and detransitioned to promote Conversion Therapy for 5 years as a poster child for detransitioners. Afterwards having stumbled upon undeniable fact which validates Transgender and Gender Variant Identity I re-transitioned at age 33 at the tail end of 2020.
Today I advocate because of the undeniable truth I have found and have established Trans Humanity to promote the equality of all genders. I believe we're on the verge of a mass New Renaissance in the transgender world and since Felicity Huffman, Jenner, Jaz and Bono Transgender exposure has gone mainstream this has become a verge of success for so many. I would like to see what the future holds in store for us all.”
We first met at the Ohio statehouse on January 24, 2024, the day the Ohio Senate Voted to overrule Governor Mike DeWine’s Veto of HB68, which, according to the Ohio Capital Journal, will block gender-affirming care for trans youth and prevent transgender athletes from playing women’s sports. The bill prohibits transgender youth from starting hormone therapy and puberty blockers…. Gender-affirming care is supported by every major medical organization in the United States.
