Explaining Transgender: 

• “There’s a gender in your brain and a gender in your body. For 99 percent of people, those things are in alignment. For transgender people, they’re mismatched. That’s all it is.”

— Chaz Bono

• When the way you look on the outside doesn't match how you feel on the  inside. 
• When your outside parts don't match what's in your heart.
