I'm just attracted to people for who they are on the inside.
Jazz Jennings -
I always say I want to leave this world in a better state than when I arrived, and I continue to live by that message. So I'm going to do what I can to make the world a better place but also just make sure that I'm happy as well.

I look at people for their souls, and I can see myself falling in love with anyone after getting to know them and developing a relationship.
Jazz Jennings -
In the end, everyone just deserves the right to be their authentic selves, just be who they are.
Jazz Jennings -
I don't really care what people think of me.
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.
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.
Jazz Jennings -
I want to show people they don't have to be scared of being different.

I was never a boy. I always was a girl in my heart, and although I was presented as a boy to the public, inside I was feminine. It was OK to be that because that's just who I was, and I can't change that. I was born that way.
Jazz Jennings -
Being transgender is not just a medical transition.
Jazz Jennings -
Haters are our ammunition. They motivate us to continue fighting for our rights. That's why I continue to share my story.
Jazz Jennings -
Being transgender is more than just medical books and everything, procedures. It's something spiritual in which you're finding yourself and really discovering who you are and learning to love yourself.
Jazz Jennings -
If you don't have the love and support of your family, you need to find someone out there who you can confide in and share your concerns and worries with. And someone who can lift your spirits and make you feel valuable and strong and powerful.
Jazz Jennings -
A lot of straight and transgender boys get in touch with me through my website and social media. They tell me I'm inspirational and beautiful. It boosts my self-esteem.

-
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.
Jazz Jennings -
I know that one day all transgender individuals will have the freedom to be who they are, no matter what. And we won't have to face the cruel judgments of society. We can just live our lives and be treated and respected like everyone else.
Jazz Jennings -
I have a bunch of transgender friends, but they're all spread out across the country.
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.'
Jazz Jennings -
I wish everything was gender neutral. I wish we weren't separated by boundaries like pink and blue and little things like that. I wish we could choose how we express ourselves without hate.
Jazz Jennings -
I definitely think when I'm feeling super down or having tantrums or not able to participate in any activities, I have to control myself. I have to tell myself, 'No, focus, focus, focus, do this, do this, do this.' Instead of shutting down, I encourage myself to think positively and move towards the light.

Bras should be comfortable. I hate when you have all those bras with all that wiring that poke into your ribs, and you take it off at the end of the day, and it feels good. It shouldn't feel good to take off your bra at the end of the day. It should be something that feels good throughout the day.
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.
Jazz Jennings -
If someone is judging you without knowing the content of your character, don't listen to them.
Jazz Jennings -
I'm open, and I'm out there, but I also enjoy being alone, relaxing.
