It is hard to step into the shoes of someone who is trans and to understand what that might feel like.
But I spent 21 years of my life praying that this would go away.
And the only way that I was finally able to accept it was one, realizing this was never going to go away.
Two, becoming so consumed by it that it was the only thing I ever really was able to think about because the pain became too all-encompassing.
And three, the only way I was able to come out was because...
I was able to accept that I was losing any future.
I had to go through stages of grief.
And the only way I was able to come out was to finally get to that stage of acceptance over a loss of any future.
It's really scary and it's really hard.
And right now it is particularly scary and hard.
And to your point earlier, most people are good people and they just want to treat other people with respect and kindness.
But unfortunately, in this moment in our politics, we were recently at something where someone gave us some information and they said that when a voter was asked to describe the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, it was crazy for the Republican Party and preachy for the Democratic Party.
I think that that undersells something that's more true, which is that a voter will look and say,
The Republican Party are assholes to other people.
I don't like that.
But the Democratic Party is an asshole to me.
And if I have to choose between the party that's an asshole to me because I'm not perfect or a party that's an asshole to someone else, even if I don't like it, I'm going to choose the party that's an asshole to someone else.
Well, the first thing I'd say is that the folks who were or are targeting me because of my gender identity in Congress, those are folks who at this point are really not really working with any Democrats and can barely work with their own Republican colleagues.
I've introduced several bills.
Almost all have been bipartisan.
