I want to make sure that people understand that, behind this national conversation around transgender rights, there are real people who hurt when they're mocked, who hurt when they're discriminated against, and who just want to be treated with dignity and respect.

It's OK to be talking to one another about what it means to be transgender. We don't have to shield everyone from the existence of people like me.

Discomfort isn't grounds for discrimination. We have a big country with a lot of different kinds of people in it.
