"I have long thought that transgender people living honestly as themselves are very courageous.
Mirriam-Webster.com defines courage as "mental or moral strength to venture, persevere and withstand danger, fear or difficulty."
I believe that the willingness to be oneself, one's true self, openly in public is a scary thing for anyone. Honesty in the face of adversity is a form of moral strength.
For transgender people, being "out" can be downright dangerous."
