I'm constantly told in the industry that I don't look like a woman, so therefore, I can't be put in editorials and campaigns because people wouldn't get it.

When I first started out modelling, I was binding my chest at gigs to make sure my physique was able to be 'passable' as male. But now, I never bind. It's highly unsafe and unhealthy.

I may not be the conventional girl, but that doesn't mean I'm not a pretty girl. Or that any girl isn't a pretty girl.

You don't see Victoria's Secret women running around with even short hair. That's too crazy for them.

My very first runway show, I was in 'Vogue.'

I see the wielding of a pronoun as something that can be freeing for some members of society but a shackle to others like myself.

I identify with my body, but I don't identify it as male or female; I just identify it as a vehicle to help me bring my awareness around the world.

We the people have the power to decide who we want to see in our advertisements and how we want the world to be portrayed. If we show that being ethical and being diverse is profitable, they're going to market to us.

I feel more comfortable in men's clothing, and I'm a lot of more convincing as a boy than as a gendered female. But with women's clothing, I feel more empowered.

The Olympics represent a global standard - for men, for women, for athletics.

I'm not my body.

Some people say there's a reason that Victoria's Secret wouldn't put me or any woman who doesn't fit within a certain spectrum on the runway.

Part of the beauty of Victoria's Secret modeling is that they are called 'Angels' for a reason - because they're aesthetics are supposed to be unobtainable. But so are mine. No one could ever be me. Look exactly as I do. Be exactly as I am.

Victoria's Secret is entitled to brand themselves the way they want to.

When someone thinks of the term, 'pretty girl,' they don't typically think of someone who looks like me.

I had lice in third grade, and my mom shaved all my hair off.

I model as male, female, and everything in between. I model as all genders.

My strength does not come from my clothing.

I went out to California; I was pursuing my degree in genetic engineering and civil law at U.C. Berkeley, and I had to pay my way through school. I eventually got a scholarship, which was great, but in the beginning, it was very hard.

When I'm a gender capitalist in the fashion world, I basically can go to any casting that I want to as long as somebody likes my face.

I love high fashion. I want to do it, but in order to be able to make a change, you have to be able to talk to the masses, not the 1 percent.

It bothered me that women were taught they can't be beautiful just being themselves - it filled me with rage.

I believe that if you want gender, then you can have it. If you want to label yourself, then sure. If you want to use history to describe who you are, then there is nothing wrong with that. But don't limit me on the way that you limit yourself.

I never wanted fashion to be a part of my life, but it will always be there.
