We Need To Talk with Paul C. Brunson · Born With No Limbs: I Didn't Want To Be Their Poster Child! Briel Adams-Wheatley · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

And he pulled me out of class one day and he's like, are you okay?

And I was like, yeah, I'm fine.

Why?

And he's like, well, what you wrote in your book, I just don't know if that's true.

And I was like, well, that's how I feel.

And that's how I see the world right now.

And he's like, well, is there anything that I can do?

Like what's going on?

And even then I still didn't feel comfortable opening up and just brushed it off.

No, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'd say probably until I was 23, which is when I came out as trans.

I think just because of the way that I grew up within the religion and the pressure of my parents.

It wasn't just the pressure of the independence from my parents either.

It was the pressure to be great anywhere and everywhere that I was because I was a prime example of what an inspirational story should be.

And so my parents always wanted me, whenever I left the home, to make sure that I was a prime example of being happy and putting on a front of being a child of God and being a good example for the church and my younger siblings and la-da-da-da-da.

And so also fighting the internal of being gay or feeling trans and suppressing those feelings for so many years.

I, it wasn't until I was 23 that I finally just said, I'm done.

I knew in the second grade.
