I'm the youngest of four siblings and the baby of the family. My family just treated me like anyone else growing up. They taught me that everyone has a special and unique trait about them, and that mine is that I have a girl brain and a boy body.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Bathrooms have always been a big issue in my life. My parents fought for me to be able to enroll in elementary school as a girl, which I did. But I still would not be allowed to use the girls' room under any condition.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I think that a lot of people don't understand how much discrimination transgender people actually face. They think that we're just kind of saying it to put it out there and get sympathy, but that's not true at all.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
From the moment I could express myself, I acted like a stereotypical girl and insisted that I was a girl. I wasn't just a boy who liked girly things - I knew I was a girl.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I definitely think it's important to share my process when it comes to the bottom surgery, because that information really isn't out there.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I think that's important - that transgender individuals are just like everyone else. We have our interests, our hobbies, our things we like to do. And people have to understand that.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
We just want to help people understand that it's okay to be transgender, and they're just like everyone else.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
GLAAD has so much information and outlets about LGBTQ people and some of the issues we face and who we are.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
There are so few books for little kids that actually mention the word transgender and explain what it is in simple terms.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Having transgender characters leads to more visibility, which creates education. Education can hopefully lead to everyone treating our community with acceptance and love.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I want people to feel happy in their own skins and feel accepted by society.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I'm an average girl with an average family - and I hope people can see that.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I feel like so many people invalidate the experience of transgender girls thinking that they aren't regular girls, but I am a normal girl.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
In the morning when I wake up, I'll exfoliate. Then at night when I shower, I'll also use an exfoliating scrub. My routine is easy, and I just get clean skin.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
As a 15-year-old teenage girl, I can attest to the fact that boys dominate most conversations between girls my age.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Often, when a girl has a crush on a boy, her friend will dare her to speak to him or ask for a pencil, or better yet, let him know that she has a crush. Pretty risky stuff... It happens thousands of times a day in the lives of teenagers everywhere. Putting yourself out there. Daring to expose your true feelings.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Let's face it: your average straight, cis-gender teenage boy isn't going to pursue a relationship with a trans-girl.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I have a bunch of transgender friends, but they're all spread out across the country.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I have no idea what I want to do for a career. But in terms of my advocacy work, I'm definitely going to continue.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
With my own videos, I definitely have more control over what I want to put out there and what I want to say. With the TV show, I'm not the editor. There's always things that I wanted to put in there. My dad has the final say in everything on YouTube, but I can be more expressive.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I see myself maybe being, like, a movie producer or screenwriter or a novelist or a scientist or mathematician.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
When I first appeared in the media, it was rare to see trans people on TV, and young trans kids were unheard of.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I love experimenting with different hair styles and going clothes shopping.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I definitely feel that society sets expectations for transgender people to fit in and makes us feel as if we have to dress a certain way so that we blend in with everyone else. But I believe all transgender individuals should be able to wear whatever they want and not worry about fitting in.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
So many transgender people in the community are being covered with this umbrella of misconception that we are going to hurt someone. But we are not trying to hurt anyone.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Seeing states like North Carolina enacting these bathroom bills that are banning transgender individuals from using the restrooms they identify as... it's complete discrimination.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I'm a normal person, and I'm going to make mistakes. I think people have to accept that.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I don't care how people treat me. I care about my message living on through other people.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
It means so much to me to see Caitlyn Jenner coming out, just by being her authentic self, staying true to who she is, and just living her life.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
As a transgender child, I was always looking around for someone like me, because I thought I was the only one. It's hard to feel like that. But having support from my family changed everything. They helped me love myself and embrace who I am.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
If someone's OK with being the 'transgender girl,' that's fine, but that's not me.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
As I began to grow, my family thought my obsessive interest in girly things was just a normal developmental phase.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
The more words I learned, the more I started to verbalize my feelings. Whenever my mom or dad would compliment me by saying something like 'Good boy,' I'd immediately correct them. 'No. Good girl.'
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Acceptance is so important because we cannot go through this journey alone. I am fortunate to have a very supportive family, but not all trans kids are so lucky. I recommend seeking out a friend or an adult who you think will accept you and telling them how you feel.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
There are so many trans kids who are struggling with who they are. I want them to know that one day, they will find the light. No matter what, we have to be who we are. Once you love and accept yourself, then others will slowly do so as well.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
A lot of people - boys - look at me differently. They think that if they date me, they are gay because they are dating another boy. In instances like this, I feel almost excluded, if that's the right word. I feel like I'm being put on a different shelf.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
For me, Caitlyn Jenner is such a huge role model. She's really making a difference in our society by just being brave and sharing her story. People say she's not brave and courageous, but to me, she is so brave and courageous.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I've always known exactly who I am, but growing up has always been a struggle. I've even been called an 'it.'
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
As I got older, I learned about how some people treated their transgender children, and I was shocked. I couldn't understand how someone would leave their child and throw them on the street. I was always taught you give your kid unconditional love and if you don't, something's wrong with you, for real.
