In her 2011 interview for Tlife.gr, Christina Baltzi shared her feelings about being a transgender woman: 'The first time I realized I was different was when I saw my older sister naked, I went to my room mirror, undressed and said 'Why shouldn't I be like my sister?' Besides, I never felt like I was gay, I always felt like a woman. I could just hide it very well - even in the army where I served - and I didn't give anyone the right to say anything bad about me.'
'I am a woman. The river may turn back, but the course - whether upward or downward - takes you where you were created. I was created to experience the evolution of the species, the mutation, something beyond nature as we know it. In fact, in 30 years I lived 4 consecutive lives.'
