The First Concept
"My true gender is determined by my mind and heart; only I can say what my true gender is."
The Second Concept
"There is no shame in having a diverse gender identity, instead who I am is something to be celebrated!"
The Third Concept
"Not everyone will accept me for who I truly am genderwise, but if I accept myself fully and completely I will find all the power I need to live out my gender the way I need to do it."
The Fourth Concept
"I not only have the power and the right to change the things in my life which I determine I need to change, including my body if need be, I also have a responsibility to myself to do so."
The Fifth Concept
"I truly am who I become through the changes I implement in my life,
including what sex I am."
The Sixth Concept
"Embracing who I am now does not negate who I have been and the journey I have made, I always will be the person who embraced both celebration of my true self and change of my temporal self."
The Seventh Concept
"Being a person of diverse gender is not a curse, but a gift! I stand between worlds as a blessed one who out of my blessing blesses others simply by being my true self."
