"I started my transition over eight years ago, but today I am so… I am living a life that I never thought possible. The extent of my contentment and happiness is far beyond anything that I can imagine. I am really living authentically as myself and, and so happy, so happy, and because of that, the universe has sent me such peace, such contentment, that I would only wish that for everyone."
Growing up on a farm in Jamaica, Criss Smith experienced a rare sense of freedom—until gender expectations began to close in. After moving to the United States and living for years as a lesbian, he built a successful life but never truly felt at home in his body. No matter how much money he earned or how many girlfriends he dated, he still felt a gnawing loneliness - until a life-changing conversation with a spiritual advisor opened the door to a truth he hadn’t yet explored: that he might be a trans man. This epiphany led to some introspection and research and Criss soon began his transition - finally regaining the freedom he enjoyed as a child.
Notice that he wishes the peace and contentment he experienced to everyone, while knowing that large numbers of People would have denied it to him.
