Chaz Bono

Deep down, my mom had long suspected I was gay... Much of her anger and hurt came from her sense of betrayal that she was the last to be told.

It felt as if my body was, like, literally betraying me because I went from a very athletic, straight-up-and-down little kid to a very curvaceous woman, and it was just horrifying to me.

Gender is between your ears and not between your legs.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
