Excerpt

"I am the only girl in the world who looks like me. I am transgender. I was born a boy, but I always knew I was a girl.

I started transitioning to live as my true self when I was four years old. I started wearing girls' clothing and using the name Jazz. I also began hormone therapy to help my body develop more feminine features.

My transition has not been without its challenges. I have faced discrimination and bullying from classmates and even some teachers. But I have refused to let the negativity stop me from living my true self.

I am proud to be transgender. I am proud to be the only girl in the world who looks like me. I am living proof that you can be anything you want to be, no matter what anyone else says."
