從小到大，你是非裔美國人
接受女孩教養模式
由白人家庭領養
你應該相當困惑吧
過程非常辛苦
我也有很多疑問
情況為何如此？我是誰？
又該如何反應？
我總是感覺
也不只是感覺
我總知道我有所不同
所以我非常安靜、內向、傷感
小時候我總在想
人生不該是如此
你何時決定要改變？
 
我第一次思考改變的時候
大約17、18歲
在這個時期左右
我開始問自己各種問題
思考自己的處境

English: 
LAURA LING: Growing up,
you were African American,
socialized as a girl,
adopted by a white family.
That must have been
extremely confusing for you.
KINGSTON FARADY: It was
really, really hard.
And there was a
lot of questioning
around how did I get here, and
who am I, and how do I do this.
I always felt--
or not even felt,
I knew that I was different.
It made me very quiet
and introverted and sad.
I remember in my childhood
just always thinking
this isn't going to be my life.
LAURA LING: When you
finally come to the decision
to transition?
KINGSTON FARADY: I started
thinking about transitioning
around 17, 18 years old.
So it was around
that time that I
started to ask myself questions
around could this be me.

Undetermined: 
難道我真是個男人
但出生時錯置了性別嗎？
我後來大約25歲時做出決定
我還記得第一次注射睪固酮時
有多麼開心
我知道這是正確決定
轉變後，最初幾年
你有什麼經驗？
非常難受
也非常辛苦
一切快速轉變
要學習新的情緒
學習如何適應新想法
學習如何面對改變的身體
而且同時以全新的方式
與世界互動
 
 
你在新的人生旅程裡
建立什麼樣的儀式幫助自己？
每個人都有無數面向
每個人都有無數面向
心靈、身體、精神、意志

English: 
Am I really a man
that had been assigned
at birth the wrong gender.
I finally made the decision
when I was about 25.
I still remember receiving
my first testosterone shot,
and how happy I was.
I knew I made the
right decision.
LAURA LING: What was it
like the first few years
after you transitioned?
KINGSTON FARADY:
They were tough.
They were very hard.
So much shifted quickly.
You're learning new emotions.
You're learning how to
deal with new thoughts.
You're learning how to
deal with a changing body.
And then on top of that,
you're engaging with the world
in a brand-new way.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
LAURA LING: Tell
me about the ritual
that you have adopted to help
you in this life's journey.
KINGSTON FARADY: There are
so many different aspects
of a human being.
Mind, body, spirit, will.

Undetermined: 
在轉變過程裡，我必須釐清
自己在這些面向裡的當下處境
我強調要喜愛你的載體
身體即為載體，也是聖殿
我設計一套體能訓練
幫助我將身體打造為理想狀態
我喜歡越野跑步
我喜歡挑戰
能夠跨越樹根
跑上山丘、感受土壤、
呼吸空氣
 
心露層面在於學習
我每天都花時間
進一步瞭解
自己周遭發生的事
精神層面在於冥想
 
冥想時，我專心
維持心靈平靜

English: 
And for me, transitioning,
I had to figure out
who am I now in terms of these
different aspects of my being.
And so I created Love
Your Vehicle, your vehicle
being your body, your temple.
I created that
physical routine that I
needed to build my body into
what I wanted it to look like.
And I love trail run,
I love the obstacle
of having to leap
over roots of trees
and run up hills and feel
dirt and breathe the air.
The mind component
is about learning.
It's critical that every
single day I spend time
really enriching my
understanding of what's
happening around me.
And the spiritual component
is about meditation.
When I meditate, I
will really focus
on just keeping my mind calm.

English: 
And I get to
experience that peace
and realize that there is a
peace that is a part of life
that we can have.
LAURA LING: How has
this ritual of yours
of loving your vehicle
changed you as a person?
KINGSTON FARADY: It has
made me a lot stronger.
And it's also allowed
me to be OK with myself
as a transgender person.
It's allowed me--
it's helped me to walk
in the world with strength
and pride and confidence.
And it's allowed me to believe
that not only are transgender
people real, but
we are important,
and we are a part of
the fabric of life,
despite anything else that
I might hear during the day.
LAURA LING: Be sure to
watch this next episode.
When you look in the mirror now,
who's the person that you see?
SPEAKER 3: So I see a lot
more confident person.
I see someone who's
made a lot of progress.
And most of all, I see
someone who's on a journey.

Undetermined: 
我體驗到平靜
也意識到生命中
也能獲得平靜
這種喜愛載體的儀式
對你自己有何改變？
它讓我更加堅強
也讓我接受自己
接受跨性別者身分
幫助我在世界上
擁有力量、自豪與自信
也讓我相信跨性別者
不僅真實，而且重要
更是生活結構的一員
不受每天的流言蜚語影響
 
另一集節目也值得一看
你照鏡子時
如今看到什麼樣的人？
我看到的人更有自信
我看到的人進步許多
而且他正在人生旅途中
