Marizol Leyva: "I Refuse to Be Someone I'm Not"

Cosmopolitan/As Told To Michelle Ruiz  Dec 2, 2015

"Growing up in a Cuban family in the Bronx, I didn't know what transgender was. Especially in the Latin community, a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl. But ever since I was little, I felt like I was born in the wrong body. I don't like to share what my name was before, because I would say that I've always been Marizol. I wanted to be girly. I would play in my sister's clothes, or put a T-shirt over my head and pretend it was hair, and my dad would be like, "Take that off. You're not supposed to be wearing that.""
