I knew I was trans in elementary school. I knew I was trans in middle school. I knew I was trans in high school. I knew I was trans in college. I knew I was trans in my 20s. I knew I was trans at 30 and only then did I feel like I could finally be out to everyone about it.

I said what I meant and I meant what I said!
On the push to ban some children’s books, @levarburton tells #TheView, “I’ll be absolutely candid and honest. It’s embarrassing that we are banning books in this country; in this culture; in this day and age.” “Read the books they’re banning. That’s where the good stuff is!”
