She knew who she was before she could even talk.

Audrey said she was a girl inside and that we were confused because we thought she was a boy.

AUDREY, 5, CALIFORNIA

It took us a long time to trust that this was a good decision.

We had been wrestling with these feelings, and the desire to allow Ayler to be herself from a very early age, beginning at about 18 months.

AYLER, 9, FLORIDA

For as long as I can remember I always knew I was a girl.

I was just very feminine, not because I tried to be, but because it was just natural.

AZAJ, 17, OAKLAND

I started dressing and looking the complete way I wanted to.

It was kind of like a weight being released from my soul and it gave me the invincible feeling and outlook.

CHANEL, 18, QUEENS

I think I was about 6 or 7 when I first understood that my gender mattered.

I remember going shopping with my mom and my sister in our local toy store for barbies and trying to make it as obvious as possible that we weren't buying the dolls for ourselves

CHLOE, 20, CORK

Colette has identified as a girl since she was 2, old enough to talk.

As a younger child – and even now to a degree – she just took it in stride that her body was one way and her gender identity was another.

COLETTE, 12, BERKELEY

She is a little rambunctious child... and she happens
to be transgender.

We noticed that she was so much happier when she had dresses on that we would joke that we should never take them off of her!

ELLIE, 6, WASHINGTON

I think our daughter is elated to be expressing herself as a trans girl.

I have no idea if this how she will always feel, but she claims that's the case. She can't wait for her hair to grow and enter kindergarten as a long-haired girl.

EMMA, 5, EAST BAY

I realized my gender at the age of 6 and from then on was forever wanting to act differently.

I was wanting to wear girls' clothes makeup and high heels and didn't know how to tell anyone as I was so young.

HAELEY, 14, LIVERPOOL

What certainty we have is that she feels female at this instant in her life.

Given her age, and the fact that she often mixed up the genders of other people when she spoke, we couldn't in those days have certainty that her "true" gender is female.

LEAH, 4, EAST BAY

It wasn’t instantly like a switch.

But the feeling that I had to finally have a word to describe myself was incredible.

RILEY ALEXIS, 20, LAKE CONSTANCE

At a basic level, we all want the same thing,

which is to be accepted not in spite of who we are, but because of who we are.
