Why I must come out

In 2014 Geena Rocero made a speech talking about her career as a model, and her "transformation". She says that you should be who you really want to be, I mean, she was born with the gender assignment "boy", but she always knew that she wasn't a boy. She complains that everybody is classified either by friends, by family or the society and that should not be like this.

She talks about her past, she remembers when she saw a transgender beauty contest and the manager of the contest ask her why she hasn't participated. The director told her that if she participates she would take care of all the money of the operation. A few years later, after her operation, her mum told her that to change her name and gender marker she would have to move to EEUU, so she did it.

I think this woman has been very brave to tell to all the world her experience, also I think that doing this she is helping a lot of people who is going through this.
