Appearing on HuffPost Live, Jennings
explained she shares her story “so that I can help everyone
understand that being transgender is normal, and that it's okay to be
yourself.”
When asked to “sum up what it means
to be transgender,” Jennings answered: “What it means to be
transgender is loving yourself, because you can never fully be a
proud transgender individual if you don't find the courage to love
who you are no matter what.”
