This week, Derek was with Ts Madison who is an American entertainer and entrepreneur.

When she was young, she did not know what she was dealing with because she was raised in the church. It was a mental and spiritual struggle. She always felt that she’s two spirited, both man and woman. She just wanted to look more like how she felt on the inside. She loves women but she never wanted to be a woman. She’s just somewhere in the middle.

She walked away from her family because she realized she's more important than anything else. Once realizing she wasn't going to get anywhere with her family after they condemned her, all she wanted to do was get away so she can focus on who she really is.

She had a point in her life where she thought of sexual reassignment surgery because there was no guidance. However, she decided that she did not need it. Ts Madison is stressing to everyone to not compare your journey to anyone elses. Sometimes when we say that our self-esteem is there, it really isn’t.

You might be putting seeds in the ground five years back and that tree might not sprout until 5 years later, it could be 10, 15, 25  years, but when that tree pops up it’s going to be fruitful.
