About Me

My name is Amanda Watson. My friends and family call me Mandy. For most of my childhood, I struggled with feeling "different" and alone. I did not have the words to describe how I felt. In my era, there were not really many people that were public about being transgender.

As a youth, television negatively portrayed transgender and gender non-conforming people, like jokes, misfits, and the mentally ill. I hope to break that stereotype and provide others with inspiration, motivation, and understanding.
