My opportunity to modify my gender – becoming a feman or more feminized male did not happen in a vacuum. Many men and women before me explored the various shades of gender that humans have and can have. They had operations and underwent hormone therapies to change their gender from male or female to male.

These transsexuals and transvestites and others had the courage to express their inner selves, despite what body they were born in, and despite what the general society of the moment said was right and wrong. It is right to be yourself and today we live in a world where it is much easier, in many more places, to be ourselves…

I want to express my appreciation for these gender pioneers who both created a safer social environment and pushed science to explore the possible ways to enhance and change our bodies. The knowledge that allowed me to experience male breast enlargement was due to those who came before us.

We, too, are gender pioneers – a heterosexual male with breasts is just one of the possible gender expressions and each of us is developing a unique expression. And this, I believe, makes our human society richer and better prepared for the future.

When I started growing breasts, I thought that it would preclude me from every being President…

But now I wonder, what with you, my peers, and other gender pioneers changing the boundaries of the possible, a day may come, not so long from now, that a man with breasts (or other gender variation) can be President…

I appreciate you all.
