Today I was talking to some strangers about Friday Night Lights. And I said, “Listen, I didn’t play football in high school - wasn’t involved, but I love that show.”

I transitioned when I was 21. I lived as a girl in high school. Playing football was not an option for me.

But I said that as though it was a decision I made, and that’s what I believed. As I said that, I forgot that I was not Sebastian in high school, that I couldn’t have played on the football team if I wanted to. 

As I move forward in my life as Sebastian, my past becomes Sebastian’s past, too. And my memories have me (as Sebastian) in them. It’s pretty great really.
