00:00This was the crown tiara that they gave me and then this is the sash is on my

00:05homecoming dress but this is the the sash that they gave me.

00:16I just think that me winning gave all of the people in my school especially that

00:22are LGBTQ especially trans a huge confidence boost and a huge like wow

00:27like this is insane like this is something that should be normal.

00:31The King Lucas was incredible like the sweetest boy I think I've ever met like

00:36he treated me like any other girl made me feel like it was normal and that he

00:42was happy just as happy or if not happier for me than myself which was so

00:47incredible.

00:57I was like let's try and it's okay if I don't get it but like it'd be cool to

01:04try and then like sooner or later I got the highest margin of votes in history

01:09and all of Olympia and all the other homecoming Queens and I won and it was

01:15just amazing and super super exciting. It just made me feel that people are

01:20actually here for me and that people are you know once again like super

01:24supportive. I actually came out and on Father's Day this year as transgender I

01:29was quote-unquote gay for about two years not kind of really knowing my

01:34full self but I've kind of just used that as an excuse to hide my femininity

01:38and my real gender but ever since I was three years old I would tell my mom and

01:42sister that I wanted to be a girl.

01:54I think there's still some growth that needs to be done but I feel like this is

02:15a big step in my heart and that people are actually you know like getting to be

02:21accepting and kind of understanding it. It's not a choice it's not it's not a

02:27sin it's just you being yourself and being happy and that's what everyone

02:32wants and that's what everyone deserves. You are beautiful you are strong you are

02:37just as amazing as anyone else in this world you don't have to set yourself

02:41aside or feel ashamed of it just be who you are and you can do anything when you

02:46put your mind to it.
