She has over 2 million Instagram

>> Gee gee is telling her story
in a book he said she said.
Great to see you.
>> Great to see you, too.
>> Trend with the yellow.
>> Yeah, very army sh, military
vibe.
Fun for the morning.
>> You got this book out, going
through a major change in your
life, about to get married.
Tell the story, you go back to
the very beginning when you
started feeling like something
isn't right in nigh body.
I don't feel right in my body.
>> It's categorized as a memoir,
and I think that's a little
intimidating to hear, but it
really is everything from when I
remember it from a very early
age to the age of 25 when I
finished writing it.
So it's all of the trials,
tribulations and that's why it's
lessons, stories and mistakes
from my transgender journey.
Why not share the good, the bad
and the ugly?
>> But how old were you when you
thought, I'm a girl?
>> You know, I went through
phases.
So, I think it was very, very
young where I was like, okay,
this is -- you know, I feel
different, but I didn't really
know how to like, you know, put
my finger on it.
And then I kind of had a little
moment where I was like, this is
fine, and then I met my first
transgender friend in New York
City, which I talk about in the
book, when I was 18.
And she really turned my mind
around.
I was like, wow, this is really
a possibility for me.
And that's why I'm so vocal
about my story because it's
like, you know, if she didn't
share her story with me, I don't
know where I would be.
She helped me so much.
>> You at one point settled on
the name Kim.
>> I did.
>> What was it about --
>> You're not a Kim.
>> I don't know, I'm very happy
I chose gee gee.
Kim was a little much.
I don't know why I liked Kim.
It was something I resonated
with.
My brothers call me Kim or else.
>> What I love in the book is
your relationship with your
brothers.
They've been accepting the whole
way.
What was it like for them and
for you?
>> You know, I feel like they've
always loved me unconditionally
and I'm so blessed to have that
because I read so many messages,
people send me dms, people
e-mail me.
I get video messages, people
saying their family aren't
accepting, they have to run
away, they're being abandoned.
It breaks my heart because I was
very, very blessed with a loving
family.
So any change that I brought
onto my family, we took it as
kind of a hug.
Me sharing my story just lets
other people know that there is
hope for change.
So even if your family isn't the
most accepting, there is ground
for change and they can come
>> Gee gee, what was it like,
though, having the conversation
with your parents the first time
when you were like, I'm not
feeling at home in my own body?
How did they respond to you?
>> It was scary.
Honestly, my parents were very
sad because, not because of me.
I think they were worried about
the world.
They were worried about people,
you know, I can control myself,
but other people can't control
their actions sometimes.
And I think they were scared for
me because they knew my life was
going to be harder.
But it's building a thick skin.
I feel my parents knew that I
was a tough fit.
>> Your book is called lessons,
stories and mistakes from my
journey.
What were the mistakes?
>> Oh, I feel like some are too
juicy to tell on morning TV.
You have to pick it up April
2nd, it comes out.
But, yeah, a lot of stuff in the
book is stuff that I've never,
ever said out loud even.
So I was writing it all and I'm
like, wow, am I really going to
publish this story and I thought
might as well get it out there.
I'm feeling this way, so
legallet me
write it down, let me get it
out.
A lot of it is juicy.
>> You're getting married.
We thought we'd play a game with
